This is wonderful to serve as an appetizer, serve lots of lemon wedges and I like crisp Pita Bread Pieces. If you cannot get the Greek cheese you may in a pinch use Italian Provolone - I had to use this because I didn't plan far enough ahead to get the good Greek Cheese. Thanks Evelyn. The recipe is simple and very good. Ingredients:
1 lb krinos kefalograviera cheese or 1 lb kasseri cheese or 1 lb graviera cheese |
flour (for dredging) |
1/2 cup olive oil (or less) |
2 lemons, cut into wedges |
Directions:
1. Cut the cheese into strips 2 wide and 1/2 thick.
2. Place strips one by one under the cold water tap and coat lightly with flour, set aside until you have dredged all the strips.
3. Heat oil in a heavy skillet and pan fry the cheese, turn once until golden brown on both sides.
4. Remove dab with paper towels and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
