April/Greek: Saganaki, and Rhubarb Dessert (with links to recipes!)

Last week I made a greek dinner and dessert for Becki and I. I made Saganaki, which is a shrimp and tomato Authentic Greek appetizer that we had for dinner and then a Rhubarb and fresh berry Greek Compote. The Compote was much like a rhubarb berry sauce my mother made, but it had a very different spices; this was my first time cooking with Anis Seed!

For something different and in response to a few requests, I put the links to the recipes I used below. But I usually tweak them to my own liking or affordability. :)

The Saganaki I would suggest be served with breadsticks or pita bread, or maybe even some pasta.

 The Compote was great, but be careful while cooking it, I let mine sit a little too long and the rhubarb lost it's form.
