Greek cooking offers an incredibly rich and diverse array of foods and beverages that are the culmination of literally thousands of years of living, cooking, and eating. While each Greek meal is fresh and inviting, it is also a trip back through Greece's history.

The names of foods, cooking methods, and basic ingredients have changed little over time.

Petros Restaurant
451 Manhattan Beach Blvd.
Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

I find Greek cuisine as one of the heartiest and healthiest food choices all around. And recently, one of our Greek friends just had her birthday and it was a no-brainer to check out Petros as it was just named "Top New Restaurant" by Zagat (and rightfully so).

In my household, I'm the one who does most of the grocery shopping and all of the cooking. I work from home, so technically I have more free time to shop and cook, although my husband helps with the shopping when he can. As someone who was raised by a mother who made everything from scratch, shunned processed foods, and kept a garden, my core beliefs about food are that it should be good and good for you.

This recipe is originally from "The Tofu Cookbook" by Becky Johnson. Those cutlets are very healthy, filling and versatile and they freeze well! I will try to include a picture soon but in the meanwhile here is my healthier version of the recipe:
Serves 4
90g / 3,5oz brown rice
15 ml / 1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion finely chopped
1 garlic clove
200g / 7oz walnuts
small bunch of rosemary or sage
250g/ 9oz firm tofu drained and crumbled
30ml / 2 tbsp soy sauce
1- Preheat oven to 200C / 400F.
