Festival Program
lots of fun!
I would first like to take this opportunity to thank all who spent countless hours on making our 5th Annual Food Festival a successful event.
I would also like to thank our Festival Committee, Ladies Auxiliary, Youth Club and the Board of Trustees for all their help. These groups exemplify great leadership, dedication, and a true passion to help spread our beautiful culture and faith to our community.
Entertainment is the most exciting part of a festival, and this was manifested by the performances of St. James’ and St. Nicholas’ dance groups, may God Grant them many years. Also, the live music by Samer Theodossy & Greek Harmony, brought to life the atmosphere and festive sounds to everyone’s ears.
May we always have a blessed and joyful festival.
Thank You and God Bless,
Fr. Jiris Hanna

Middle eastern &
Greek Recipes
Ingredients:
•1/2 kilo / 1 pound of Féta cheese, either whole or in pieces
•Four tablespoons butter or margarine
•6 eggs (or 3 eggs)
•1/2 cup chopped parsley
•Pastry called Filo composed of very thin pastry sheets (can be found at specialist delis in North America or Frozen in Europe
•3 cups of white bechamel sauce (optional)
•Salt, pepper, nutmeg
This dish can be done in triangle sized chunks. After you butter the fillo and you put the filling in it, fold it in single triangles and place them on the oven dish. Crush the Feta to a paste, add the bechamel sauce, and the eggs, while stirring well. Add the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Line the baking pan with oil, and then place about 6-10 sheets of filo, buttering them on each side. Pour the batter and flatten with a spatula. Then continue with the rest of the filo sheets (should be about 20-25 in a package). Trim the edges and with a sharp knife, outline the serving squares on the top sheet (you dont have to actually cut them, just press the knife on the top surface to mark them - they should be about 2 inch squares (5 cm). Bake in a moderate oven for about 30 minutes, or until the top sheet is dark brown. Now cut the squares you marked earlier and serve, after letting it cool a little.
CHEESE PIES
(TYROPITA)
Ingredients:
•1 16 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans
•1/4 cup liquid from can of chickpeas
•3-5 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on taste)
•1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
•2 cloves garlic, crushed
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•2 tablespoons olive oil
Drain chickpeas and set aside liquid from can. Combine remaining ingredients in blender or food processor. Add 1/4 cup of liquid from chickpeas. Blend for 3-5 minutes on low until thoroughly mixed and smooth. Place in serving bowl, and create a shallow well in the center of the hummus.
Add a small amount (1-2 tablespoons) of olive oil in the well. Garnish with parsley (optional). Serve immediately with fresh, warm or toasted pita
