The word Mezze means sharing. In Greece, true masters of the mezze plate, these little bites of goodness are also known as mezé, mezés, or mezédhes (plural), and are small dishes that can be either hot or cold, and include spicy or savory flavors.
For our theme this week find a Tessa Kiros mezze recipe (or recipes!) and get your March Mezze Madness on!
Can't find a Greek mezze recipe that appeals this week? That's OK, you can still pick an appetizer, tapas, pupu, or small plates dish from another country/culture. It just needs to be a Tessa Kiros recipe, and it needs to be posted by Sunday, March 11th.
Make sure you link up your mezze post with Mr. Linky, below. Need help in linking? Check out our Welcome page. Don't forget to leave a comment so we can make sure not to miss your fabulous dish.
If you missed our Fight Scurvy-Eat More Citrus! theme from last week, be sure and check out all the spiced up recipes everyone made.

I'm feeling the Mezze Madness! I have a whole handful I'm choosing from. Now to decide. Love the mezze collage ;)
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to get my mezze on!
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome post, Deb. Love all the collages. Very Greek and festive! This is going to be a fun theme. Can't wait to post my dish (for once it's already made).
ReplyDeleteIt's official. I think this shrimp with feta and tomatoes is my all-time favorite Tessa recipe. Loved it and can't wait to make it again.
ReplyDeleteDolmades are up! Yum! And, bonus, there is a lemon involved. Am I redeemed for my citrus fail? ☺
ReplyDeleteI put together a simple mezze plate with Tessa's Tomato Salad and Cucumber Meze. Yum! Although I was lazy and used canned dolmades rather than making them myself like Natashya. I've made them before and it was too much effort for my week.
ReplyDelete(Your dolmades look wonderful Natashya!) ;-)
I'm in love with homemade Tzatziki. My post is up.
ReplyDeleteI also made cucumber meze and as a bonus roast lemon potatoes. Bright, fresh, good!
ReplyDeleteStinky Cheese Heaven w/ flaky Tiropita at my place... =)
ReplyDeleteLove those dolmades, Natashya! I'd love to sneak a few off that plate.
ReplyDeletePost is up. :)
ReplyDeleteI was running late getting posted, but I'm finally up, and I went all out with Prawns Saganaki, Peppers stuffed with Feta, Roasted Lemon Potatoes, and Pita Bread.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much re the dolmades - they were a labour of love but lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteNow I am off to visit all these gorgeous mezze posts!
