Disney Boardwalk’s Kouzzina by Cat Cora

Kouzzina by Cat Cora was a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant located on Disney’s BoardWalk at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.

Kouzzina was operated by celebrity chef Cat Cora and offered a unique dining experience with a focus on Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant had a warm and welcoming atmosphere, reminiscent of a cozy Mediterranean eatery.

The menu at Kouzzina featured a variety of dishes that celebrated the flavors of the Mediterranean region. Guests could expect to find items like grilled seafood, lamb, chicken, and vegetarian options, often prepared with a blend of herbs, spices, and olive oil that are characteristic of Mediterranean cooking. Signature dishes included items like the “Kouzzina Sampler” and the “Cinnamon-Stewed Chicken.”

The restaurant also provided options for breakfast, with offerings like the “Spinach, Tomato, and Feta Scrambled Eggs” and the “Vanilla-Laced French Toast.”

Kouzzina closed in September 2014.

Ingredients

Syrup

• 1 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 cup Water
• 1/8 cup Honey
• One 1/8-inch slice Lemon
• One 2-inch long stick Cinnamon
• 2 whole Cloves

Baklava

• 1 pound blanched Almonds coarsely ground
• 1 pound Walnuts coarsely ground
• 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground Cloves
• 4 sheets Phyllo Dough
• 1 1/4 pounds unsalted Butter melted

Instructions

Syrup

• Combine all of the syrup ingredients in a 2-quart stainless saucepan.
• Place pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Remove saucepan from heat.
• Remove the lemon slice and spices and discard.
• Set syrup aside and allow to cool to room temperature.

Baklava

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Place almonds in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Using the pulse method, process almonds until coarsely ground. (Be careful not to over process, which would cause the nuts to become oily and make a paste.)
• Remove the ground almonds from the processor and place in a bowl. Set aside. Place the walnuts in the processor and repeat same grinding process as with the almonds.
• Place butter in a saucepan. Place over low heat.
• While butter is melting, combine the ground almonds and walnuts, sugar, cinnamon and cloves in a bowl. Mix thoroughly. Set aside.
• When butter has melted and is hot (do not burn), take 4 sheets of phyllo dough and brush each sheet with melted butter, layering the sheets as you go.
• Once the 4 sheets are pressed together, sprinkle 1 cup of the nut mixture over the top sheet.
• Roll, lengthwise, until you reach the end. Keep the roll as tight as possible without breaking. It should look like a long cylinder.
• Cut the roll into 2-inch pieces.
• Dip each piece into the melted butter.
• Place pieces on a baking sheet.
• Place into preheated oven and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden brown.
• When done remove from the oven.
• Using a pair of tongs remove each piece from the pan, dip in the syrup and place on a cake rack to drain.
• Serve in small cup cake cups on a platter.
