suggested apps to go with a Giros roast.

We are having a Greek night with Giros, hummus and assorted olives. Looking for a couple app ideas. I will be making the pitas as well. ABT' are a standard, not Greek but always a hit.

my greek cookbook has been missing for a while now but google mint and ouzo meatballs and or luokanika. the loukanika is a sausage with orange zest, make it into meatballs ans serve with ouzo on the side, only thing with that sausage is you need a great wine store because it uses an odd wine called retsina which tastes like pine pitch. you could scrap the meatballs and just serve ouzo
)

dont forget some red onion shovels for the hummus

raw kibee is another app we get here, see how brave everyone is with raw ground lamb smeared on a pita

ive done spanakopita on the egg as well, its good served hot or cold and it was pretty easy from what i remember

Kibee is a great app. You can fry some for people that don't want to eat it raw. Excellent paired with lamb. Hummus would be a natural fit as well. 

Tabouli is an awesome side dish with that, go heavy on the mint and lemon.

greek sfeeha is good too, ive used pizza dough rolled out into 4 inch circles to make the pies, serve it with a sweet chutney

Yes and if all else fails have the ouzo. Here is one I like as well. Dolmades are awesome too.

labna spread is good too, never made it from scratch because its sold locally here but it looks easy to make, better than a regular store bought yogurt

@ Little Steven, that recipe sound great will be added to the menu.

Labna sound great, but I just looked @ a recipe and it takes two days to make.
