About Giouvetsi
Giouvetsi is a traditional Greek dish that combines tender meat, typically beef, lamb, or chicken, with orzo or sometimes rice, baked in a rich tomato-based sauce. Often seasoned with onions, garlic, cinnamon, and bay leaves, this comforting one-pot meal has its roots in Mediterranean cuisine. The orzo absorbs the savory flavors of the sauce, while grated cheese is sometimes sprinkled on top before serving. Giouvetsi is an excellent source of protein from the meat and provides energy through the carbohydrates in the orzo. The tomato sauce offers antioxidants like lycopene, supporting heart health. However, it can be high in calories and fat depending on the cooking method and cheese quantity. Choosing lean cuts of meat and controlling added fats can make Giouvetsi a balanced and nutritious addition to a healthy diet.
