Asparagus is an extremely seasonal plant and unfortunately available only for a short time. For this reason, when you show up for sale, you should not waste your time just preparing, eating and ... wait for the next spring :)
Well-prepared asparagus is unusual in taste and slightly crunchy. White has a rather mild taste, green slightly sharper and more pronounced. Looking for new ways to use this vegetable, we have inspired the Greek cuisine. Of course, asparagus is not a typical canon of this country's cuisine, but as you might expect today's Greeks eat asparagus and have their own ways of preparing it. During their preparation, as in the case of other dishes, simplicity and olive oil reigns :) We have added feta and lemon juice to this set. A fantastic dish came out of this interesting combination, so we encourage fans of this low-calorie vegetable to try these Greek culinary patents.
Crete, as is usually the case, is governed by its laws and ordinary asparagus are not very popular. With a little luck in spring you can try Avronies Αυρωνιές - wild asparagus (which are thinner and slightly bitter), cooked in the form of omelettes with eggs and onions or as an addition to lamb or octopus.
1. We usually do not peel green asparagus, but if the ends of the shoots are hard, they should either be cut off or the gravely outer layer removed.
2. Then lay them flat in one layer in a relatively large casserole and pour the oil abundantly. We warm up the oven to about 200 degrees. Asparagus, depending on the thickness of the shoots, bake until tender for 20-25 minutes. They should be soft enough to be able to stick a fork into it without problems.
3. After baking, place the asparagus on the plate, sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper. Then sprinkle with a small amount of lemon juice and sprinkle with crushed feta cheese. Asparagus prepared in this way are a great addition to other dishes or are suitable for a snack or a light dinner.
Καλή όρεξη!
Grilled vegetables are often hosted on Greek tables as an addition to larger dishes or as an independent starter. In one of the taverns last year, we enjoyed a grilled pepper stuffed with feta cheese. Delicious and very fast to prepare. It tastes brilliantly combined with ordinary fried potatoes sprinkled with herbs.
Dolmades is one of the most popular Greek meat dishes. It occurs both in the vegetarian version and with meat. Young grape leaves are needed to prepare them. And it is in the leaves that the key to success lies. They must be young and very delicate. The best and the most delicate ones are collected around May. However, if you do not have the opportunity to collect fresh leaves, you can use ready-made leaves from the lagoon. However, the effect will be better if you use fresh leaves.
Halloumi cheese comes from Cyprus, where its average consumption per capita is 8 kg per year. It is a white, semi-hard cheese made from unpasteurised sheep's milk, from a mixture of sheep and goats, possibly with the addition of cow's milk. Halloumi taste is sometimes enriched with the addition of mint.
