Greek sausages, or loukaniko, are a flavorful staple of Greek cuisine, traditionally made with pork or lamb and seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices like orange zest, oregano, and garlic. Some recipes also include leeks or fennel for added depth. These sausages have a smoky, aromatic profile, often enhanced through grilling or slow cooking. While loukaniko is a source of protein, it can be high in saturated fat and sodium, depending on preparation. Incorporating leaner cuts of meat or moderating portion sizes can make this indulgent treat a healthier option. Pair it with whole grains, fresh vegetables, or a light salad for a balanced meal. Greek sausages reflect the rich culinary traditions of Greece and are frequently enjoyed in mezze platters or as part of hearty main dishes.
