Pork with celery and lemon sauce is a delicious and typical Greek dish. Many Greek households prepare it throughout the winter months, but did you know it can also be a wonderful alternative for your Christmas table?
Its refreshing lemon aroma and tender meat create a festive yet lighter option compared to the traditional roast.
For vegetarian guests or for those who prefer not to eat pork, the pork can easily be replaced with mushrooms. The celery-lemon sauce pairs beautifully with earthy flavours, making the dish just as satisfying and aromatic.
What makes this recipe especially appealing is its simplicity. With just a handful of ingredients and very little preparation time, you can serve a meal that feels very homely. It’s also a great way to introduce guests to authentic Greek home cooking, beyond the well-known classics like moussaka or souvlaki.
So why not try something different this year? Explore this Greek recipe, and consider replacing your traditional “turkey” with something else!
