Saganaki [The Safe Way]


Did you know....
Saganaki is traditionally fried and NOT flambeed? Apparently that's a chicago take on it, or something. No complaining about flaming alcohol, but that's good news for those of us who would rather not suffer third-degree burns.

1. Find Saganaki cheese.You can also use feta if you absolutely can't find it. 
2. Heat a pan with a thin layer of olive oil till hot.
3. coat cheese in flour, put in pan. it should be very hot, watch out for splattering. 
4. add 2 tablespoons or so lemon juice. a bit of garlic. brown on both sides. You can still use Oozo, but make sure the alcohol has boiled off before serving.
5. when browned and slightly gooey, serve hot with oregano on top, and pita bread. 

don't forget to obnoxiously shout OPA!
