Despite of knowing the adverse effects of junk food, we all love eating it. But have we ever thought to change this of our eating habit with healthy one.
However, via exercising, eating raw vegetables and fruits one can stay healthy. But, one who is food lover, for him or her it’s hard to stay long on tasteless food. These things can only be done by celebrities, sports personalities etc. A layman cannot carry out this diet chart for a long time.
The best alternative for this is Greek food. If you are residing in NYC or any other town in America for that matter, and want to start on with a healthy diet then you must definitely try out Greek section of food. If you are wondering, which dishes to try in it, then following is list of few-
The most popular Greek dish is kotopoulou lemonato, which is also known as lemon chicken. Made with fresh chicken, sliced roast potatoes, freshly squeezed lemons and seasoned with salt, oregano etc.
Another Greek dish, which spells bound, is Yemista. Peppers and tomatoes stuffed with rice and roasted in olive oil with potatoes and little onion tomato sugar.
Salad is loved of all. Horiatiki is a yummy Greek tomato salad, which served with feta cheese and Greek Olives. A touch of vinegar and olive oil is also added to the salad, which gives it a good color and taste.
People who love eating pork, they love eating Souvlaki, which is another Greek salad. Pork is marinated in a special mixture and served with pitta bread. It is also sometimes served with a yogurt called tzatziki, and garlic dip.
Dips are loved by all, especially those who love eating junk food. Taramasalata is a dip made from cods roe breadcrumbs, lemon and olive oil. Most of the Greek starters are served with pitta bread; therefore, Taramasalata with pitta bread is an excellent combination.
Although Moussaka is slightly less healthy, but very popular. This is because it is made with layer of fried potatoes and layer of minced lamb topped off with a bechamel sauce and cheese, which makes it full of calories. As roasted food stuffs are healthy, therefore, before serving, it is roasted in the oven for 30 minutes.
Reading the name and ingredients of Greek food, if you are impressed with the menu, then you must try it and instead of eating junk food start on eating this food.
