Μαυρομάτικα με σπανάκι

Beans with spinach are another simple, traditional dish. The secret of its taste is cooking mavromatika beans with fresh spinach and tomatoes. Such a short composition occurs in the simplest and most orthodox version of this dish. However, it can be expanded to include other vegetables, such as carrots and peppers, thanks to which the dish will be even more aromatic and filling.

Mavromatika is a characteristic type of bean also known to us as the black eye. Beans must be pre-soaked and cooked until soft. Only then can you add the rest of the ingredients to it and cook it until it has the right consistency and taste. The dish cannot be too watery or too thick. It is better to add some water during cooking rather than pour it too much at the beginning. The small secret is to add a small amount of breadcrumbs at the end of cooking. It will thicken the sauce nicely and the consistency will be as it should be. We serve the ready dish with feta cheese, although you can eat it without it. Sprinkling lemon juice on a plate will further enhance the taste.

1. Pour dry beans with cold water and leave for about 10 hours. After this time, drain it, rinse it, put it in a pot and pour cold water again. We cook until soft with the addition of bay leaf for about 35-40 minutes. Finally, we pour water.

2. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Fry onions, carrots and peppers for about 5 minutes. After this time, add the spinach and continue cooking until the spinach softens.

3. Add previously cooked beans, mixed (or grated) tomatoes and 3/4 cup of hot water. Salt, season with pepper, mix and continue to simmer for about 25 minutes until the sauce is quite thick. If the water evaporates too quickly, then add some hot water during cooking.

4. Just before cooking, add 2 teaspoons breadcrumbs and mix well.

5. After placing the dish on the plates, season with freshly squeezed lemon juice, chopped parsley and crushed feta cheese.

SPANAKOPITA (Σπανακόπιτα)

SPANAKOPITA (Σπανακόπιτα)

Greeks have to admit that they know how to make delicious food from the spinach popular in this region. Of course, spinach in the Greek version has nothing to do with the little appetizing mash that is usually made in Polish homes. Spinach combined with feta served in a filo pastry can occur in the form of a large casserole (Spanakopita Σπανακόπιτα) or in the form of small croissants (Tiropites Τυροπιτες). Spanakopita is a popular dish and is one of our favorite Greek dishes. The ingredients for its preparation are available in our stores.

Arakas laderos - Greek recipe for peas

When you ask a local resident in Greece what a delicious dish you can do with green peas, the answer probably will be: Αράκας Λαδερος! This dish from the first moment has also become one of our favorites. At the outset, it is worth noting that to prepare it you do not need many products and time-consuming preparations. In addition to fresh or frozen peas, only onions, carrots, potatoes, good home-made tomato puree (or fresh tomatoes) and dill will be necessary.

Eggplants are a popular ingredient of Greek dishes and can be found in flagship dishes such as moussaka or briam. The main role of aubergines also play in papoutsakia, imam bayildi and melitzanosalata. For these tasty dishes you need to add another Greek way to make this vegetable, or eggplant with feta.

 Jak była pandemia to się prosili aby przyjechać i ratować ich biznesy a jak stanęli na nogi to zaczęli łupić jak nad polskim morzem . Mimo , iż lubię Kretę to chyba dam sobie spokój i to na długo .
 Serce pęka
 Takiego wiatru jak dzis w nocy to jeszcze nie przeżyłam
 
 Brak słów. Byłam pod koniec czerwca . Szkoda ludzi i wszystkiego co tam było.
