    This made a fabulous dinner for us this evening! I sautéed and added some baby bella mushrooms because they needed to be used up. Made a great addition but we’d love it as much without.
    Although I don’t like cleaning chicken thighs (the veins make me squeamish), it’s our favorite choice for many chicken dishes.
    Thank you, Dimitra, for sharing your wealth of cooking expertise and wonderful recipes.

    I love all your orzo dishes 😋. How do you prevent orzo from sticking at the bottom of the Dutch oven and burning? I feel it is inevitable due to high starch content.
    You are my favorite! I am Chinese but have never learned to cook Chinese food properly. Now I cook more Greek style or whatever your creation. A very good friend of mine once told me the Moroccan chicken and spinach pie I treated her is divine and she is a Greek from Athens. I check in your channel almost every day to get inspiration. Thank you!

      Thank you so much for your sweet message and for your support. I appreciate it more than words can express. 😊 the orzo will not stick if there is enough liquid in the pot and as long as it is simmering over low heat. I hope that tip helps!! 💙

    This looks amazing. I just sent my husband a shopping list for the few ingredients I don't have on hand & I'm making this tomorrow!

    I agree with you Dimitra, chicken thighs are so flavorful and much more forgiving than chicken breasts. This dish looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it!

    I loved your comment about the shrimp -- which means I can do this with our left over chicken, just adding it in at the end!

    The heavy cream bonds with the oxylates in the spinach so it is good, I was hoping it had cream
    Yum 😋

    I think I'd wait until it thickened like you said and top with some Greek yoghurt like you mentioned too.

    Can you repeat the Greek greeting you begin each video with? I love languages and learning about other cultures. I’d like to practice that greeting and be able to look it up online. Thanx!!

    • @DimitrasDishes
      @DimitrasDishes  3 месяца назад +3

      Sure! The greeting translates to Hello & Welcome!: Γειά σας και καλώς ήρθατε
