Corfu

On our recent trip to Corfu, we had great trouble finding anywhere serving pastitsio. Fortunately, with only one night of the holiday left, I managed to get my much yearned after dish........and it was absolutely fabulous

I'm now looking to attempt to cook this at home and have been scouring the internet for recipes. There are just so many recipes out there, all a little different and some more "authentic" than others. Many also seem to be for 8-10 people (4-6 would be perfect).

Does anyone have any tried and tested recommendations?

I love the ones with a really thick layer of bechamel, and some of the "hard" cheese on (I know, I'll likely have to use parmesan). I've also tried one that had mint in it.......mmmm

Any suggestions appreciated...........

Hi Trace,

Pasticio, how about giving this one a try, sounds ok, and a family recipe if the heading is anything to go by. That is the first link. I have added some more for you to try out.

Not yet Trace. I have been hunting out different recipes over the weekend to try out. Had the Prawn Saganaki on Friday, Meat Balls in Tomato Sauce last night (cant remember the name without my book). Elaine and I are getting our Greek taste buds back.

Cheers, xxx

PS: Will let you know when I do, and like wise from you to please.

Hi Trace

I cooked one using a recipe from the Marks and Sparks Greek cookery book. It was great but nothing at all like the ones you get in Corfu. It used mince rather than big chunks of meat.

Hi David,

I kept meaning to buy that cookery book for David (he's the chef in the house)!

M&S used to do a Pastitsio in their cafe culture range, and it was actually pretty nice.

I've never had it with anything but ground beef though.....even in Greece.

Hi Trace

Thare's an excellent recipe in "A Kitchen in Corfu". I'm a bit busy today (off to Corfu on the bike tomorrow, so trying to get everything done!) so haven't got time to type it out. PM me your address and I'll drop a photocopy in the post.

Hi Trace

I just like your David have the task of chef in our house "LOL" and have the M&S cookbook which is excellent, we have tried Pasticio with feta, riccotta and many cheeses all are good but i always find it is best using minced lamb and not too much sauce.

I am also a fan of a maltese dish called Timpana which is very similar and if you surf the net there are numerous recipes available which you should try.

My favourite dish at the moment is Moussaka slipper

Whilst in ASDA last week we tried their new range of greek dishes Pasticio ( not bad) Feta parcels (yummy)

Joan & Haydn,

I've just had a wee nosy on the internet for the "timpana" (macaroni pie) you mentioned......it sounds lovely as well, thank you very much for putting me onto that (not the healthiest of dishes with all that pastry is it, but mmmmm!)

PS. Martyn, if you get to read this from Ag Stef, then your recipe arrived in the first post this morning.....thanks again!
