"When I fled Greece during World War II and eventually relocated to Los Angeles, I brought with me the traditions of my home," writes Rebecca Levy. "A lot of these traditions have to do with food, and since sharing my heritage has always been important to me, I often make favorites from my homeland for friends and family. In addition, cooking for community events and teaching classes on Sephardic cuisine keep my schedule full."

Pair this dish with rice pilaf or noodles.
