Greece: Strapatsada

If you’ve ever been to Greece, you might have tried Strapatsada. This scrambled egg dish stands out with feta cheese and other fresh ingredients. Traditionally served for breakfast, it’s also enjoyed at other meals.

Ingredients (serves 4):

• 1 onion
• 2 2/3 cups of chopped tomatoes
• 4 eggs
• 7 oz of feta cheese
• Salt, pepper, and oregano for seasoning

Instructions:

1. Peel and dice the onion. Wash the tomatoes, halve them, and grate the cut side into a bowl using a kitchen grater to create a smooth tomato pulp.
2. Heat some oil in a pan and sauté the onions until softened. Add the tomato pulp and oregano, and simmer over medium heat for a few minutes.
3. Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk, and season with salt and pepper.
4. Once the tomato mixture has reduced slightly, pour the eggs into the pan and stir them into the tomatoes. Increase the heat slightly and let the eggs set for about a minute. Continue stirring and cooking until the Strapatsada reaches your desired consistency.
5. Crumble the feta over the finished Strapatsada and serve, optionally with fresh bread.
