meats

Gioulbasi is one of the most tasty dishes you can ever have. The meat together with the peppers and the cheese is baked slowly in the oven, wrapped in greaseproof paper. It keeps all the juices sealed and the result is outstanding. Do try it for the Easter Sunday or any Sunday with your friends and family.
