saganaki is the perfect starter!
i made it and it couldnt have gone better! It was delicious! My advice is to have it on low heat so the coating stays golden yellow and doesnt go golden brown.

Hot Tips

Cauliflower florets

Remove the leaves from the cauliflower, turn upside down and remove most of the core. Detach the florets by cutting through the base, breaking the head into small pieces. Cut the pieces into bite-size florets with a paring knife.

Glossary

Bay Leaves

Bay leaves are one of the few herbs that don't lose their flavour when dried, rather the flavour is more intense. Can be bought as whole dried leaves or ground and is also popular as a fresh herb.
