Greek Sauce?

[Guest guest]

Joanne:

 

I forgot to answer you about the sauce. The sauce is not really

necessary -- the potatoes are great on their own. If you want a sauce

though, the closest thing to this Greek sauce we get is, maybe, and only

sort of -- like Ranch dressing. You could use Tzaziki Sauce too, I

suppose.

 

For anyone who lives in the Atlanta, GA area, the sauce is " Nick's

Grecian Sauce " sold at Grecian Gyros in Hapeville. It's just a " hole in

the wall " place. My husband works at the airport and sometimes goes

there for lunch. He describes Nick as being sort of like the " Soup

Nazi " on the old Seinfeld show. :-) Nick will not divulge the exact

ingredients of the sauce, but the ingredient list mentions mayonnaise,

sour cream, and various spices (most unnamed). I might see if my Greek

next-door neighbor (who is a cook/kitchen manager at a Greek restaurant)

can figure it out and duplicate the sauce!

 

We also use the sauce on falafel and pita sandwiches. It is SO good --

one of our favorite things.

Thanks Karen for all your help and inspiration! I did find the Cavenders

seasoning after searching for five minutes in the spice section of my grocery

store and almost giving up. I prepared a yummy Greek dinner on Good Friday

complete with Avgolemono Soup, a huge Greek salad, your roasted potatoes

(used the frozen red potato wedges to save time), a great garlicky cucumber

sauce, green beans with lemon, french bread and of course, the Greek wines &

apertifs. It was fun. I actually worked in a rather upscale Greek

restaurant all through college and the food (especially Spanikopita) probably

kept this starving student alive. Thanks again Karen!
