A Greek Village Feast with Slow-Roasted Oregano Chicken, Cannellini Bean Purée, Black Barley Pilaf and Avocado Greek Salsa (includes complimentary surprise dessert)

Inspired by the rustic flavors of the Greek countryside, this vibrant and grounding meal brings together time-honored ingredients with nourishing intention. At its heart are tender, slow-roasted chicken thighs marinated in a traditional Greek-style blend of full-fat yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and wild oregano. The yogurt not only enhances the flavor but also supports digestion and gut health with probiotics, while lemon and garlic offer immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties.

The chicken is nestled atop a creamy layer of cannellini bean purée—made from slow-cooked organic beans blended with fresh lemon, olive oil, and herbs. This purée delivers plant-based protein, iron, magnesium, and folate, helping support energy, muscle function, and heart health.

Beneath it all is a hearty bed of black barley pilaf, a lesser-known ancient grain prized for its nutty flavor and powerful nutritional profile. Rich in fiber, selenium, and polyphenols, black barley helps regulate blood sugar, support the gut microbiome, and provide lasting energy. Lightly simmered with aromatics and a touch of olive oil, the pilaf adds a grounding, satisfying element to the dish.

A bright avocado Greek salsa is served alongside—diced cucumber, tomato, red onion, and Kalamata olives tossed in lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil. This fresh element is rich in monounsaturated fats, lycopene, potassium, and vitamin C, which together support skin health, hydration, and cellular repair.

Crafted with mostly organic ingredients and designed for both pleasure and function, this meal is a Mediterranean embrace on a plate—deeply flavorful, nourishing to the core, and rooted in timeless wisdom. From Ragna’s Table to yours, may it feed you well.
