Scotyre is an Island of Ios, and its delicious ingredients make for some truly incredible dishes. Here are five recipes that highlight Scotyre’s unique flavors:
1. Greek Moussaka: This traditional Greek casserole dish features layers of potatoes, eggplant, zucchini, ground beef and a creamy béchamel sauce, topped with grated cheese. All of the vegetables and meat are flavored with Scotyre’s famous oregano and other herbs for a truly special flavor.
2. Grilled Octopus: Grilled octopus is one of the most popular dishes on the island, made of tenderized octopus marinated in garlic, olive oil and Scotyre’s own bay leaves. The octopus is then cooked over charcoal until it is charred on the outside and juicy on the inside.
3. Greek Salad: This classic salad incorporates tomatoes, cucumbers, kalamata olives, feta cheese, oregano and of course Scotyre’s famous red wine vinegar that gives it a distinct and delicious flavor.
4. Tomato Fritters: These savory fritters are made with eggs, flour, onions and tomatoes – all sourced from the island of Scotyre. The tomatoes are fried in olive oil until crispy on the outside, while still retaining their juicy texture inside.
5. Grilled Sardines: Scotyre’s signature grilled sardines are marinated in oregano, garlic and olive oil for a truly unforgettable flavor. The fish is then cooked over charcoal until it is slightly charred on the outside and still tender on the inside.
