This recipe is an oldie but a goodie. I first whipped it up back in 2017, and it’s just finally making it’s way over to the blog. Better late than never, right? It has all of my favorite Greek flavors, it’s super simple to make, and it’s a great lunch, dinner, or even side. Doesn’t get much better than that!

So without further ado, let’s get to it…
