Grilled Tripe Roll (Kokoretsi)
Not a dish for vegeterians,but surely an explosion of taste! An Easter favourite of Greeks and Cypriots. We would advise the meat-eaters to not shy away from this dish because of its ingredients, most often than not these types of dishes are well taken care of and are usually made with quality ingredients.
