Saganaki (Fried Cheese) Greek Style
This is wonderful to serve as an appetizer, serve lots of lemon
wedges and I like crisp Pita Bread Pieces. If you cannot get the
Greek cheese you may in a pinch use Italian Provolone. The recipe is simple and very good.
Ingredients:
1 lb krinos kefalograviera cheese or kasseri cheese or graviera cheese
flour (for dredging)
1/2 cup olive oil (or less)
2 lemons, cut into wedges
1. Cut the cheese into strips 2 " wide and 1/2" thick.
2. Place strips one by one under the cold water tap and coat lightly
with flour, set aside until you have dredged all the strips.
3. Heat oil in a heavy skillet and pan fry the cheese, turn once
until golden brown on both sides.
4. Remove dab with paper towels and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
