It’s been six months since I’ve discovered the secret to making Greek food with the same intense savoury flavour that you’d find in a restaurant. It’s called Cavender’s All Purpose Greek Seasoning. I can buy it at my local Loblaws-brand grocery store. I’ve also seen it in many grocery stores in the United States. It’s also available for order online.
I use it to season meat, in homemade Greek salad dressing and tzatziki and in this recipe for lovely garlic-infused roasted Greek potatoes. So next time you’re browsing the spice aisle, look for a jar of this stuff and prepare to use it on everything.
Roasted Greek Potatoes
1/3 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cups water
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 packets chicken bouillon
1 1/2 teaspoons Cavender’s Greek Seasoning
6-7 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1″ pieces
In a large baking dish mix the olive oil, water, garlic, lemon juice and bouillon until combined. Add the potatoes and stir to coat them well. Sprinkle the Greek seasoning over top of all of the potatoes.
Cover the dish with a sheet of tinfoil and bake until tender (approximately 1) hour at 350 degrees. When tender, remove the tinfoil and broil for 5 minutes. Watch carefully to make sure they don’t burn.
