The product we’re most excited about in our dry-age room at the moment is this cured tuna pastrami. Of course, the fish is top-notch sashimi-grade Australian yellowfin tuna. The recipe is a tribute to our late ‘Bappou Savvy’ (Yiota’s dad) and his traditional Cypriot pastrami or pastourma recipe from the village of Arakapas. It’s currently been ageing for about a week and should be perfect in a few weeks time. We’ll post an update here once we cut it! #tunapastrami #cured #dryaged #yellowfin #tuna #cyprus #arakapas

Yiota’s home village Arakapa in Cyprus is best known for its mandarins, but it also has its fair share of olive groves and olive oil is a way of life. At @dulwichhillgourmetmeats we use olive oil with almost everything we cook at home and in many of our gourmet meat products at the shop. We also stock The Essential Ingredient’s Hojiblanca extra virgin olive oil, a quality product made from olives grown in northern Victoria. #extravirgin #oliveoil #extravirginoliveoil #evoo #olivetree #arakapas #village #cyprus #hojiblanca #australia @esntlingredient #hojiblanca

Pasticho, a Cypriot-style baked pasta dish that’s similar to the Italian pasticcio al forno. This one was made with topside mince. The cinnamon gives it a distinctive Cypriot flavour. Classic Kypreo comfort food! #cyprus #pasticho #comfortfood #pasta #pastabake #cinnamon #fromthevillage #arakapas

Sunday = baking day

Sunday = baking day! We’re a few weeks late, but since we were too busy at the shop on the weekend of Greek Easter to make flaounes, we decided to make them today. Never heard of a flaouna? It’s the traditional Cypriot cheese pastry made and eaten at Easter time. Ingredients include many types cheese, mint, mastic, egg, sesame and saffron. They’re extremely addictive! #george #yiota #flaouna #flaounes #baking #cyprus #easter #fromthevillage #arakapas

This is mother hen, Yiota

This is mother hen, Yiota. Always has a smile on her face (except when she’s frowning). Her culinary creativity amazes us every single day. She’s just as comfortable serving up a fancy dinner party meal as she is filling the bellies of a big, hungry family. Pop in and see her smile in person at the shop tomorrow! #motherhen #dulwichillgourmetmeats #fromthevillage #arakapas #marrickvilleroad
