The popular vegetable in Crete is okra (also called bamie), which can often be found in local greengrocers. Although it looks a bit like a green chili pepper, its skin is not as smooth and it is covered with a tiny fleck. This very healthy and low-calorie vegetable is unfortunately virtually unheard of in Poland. If you would like to try it, it's worth doing it while in Crete. Just look for one of the local taverns, which serves dishes prepared on the basis of okra. You can of course prepare it yourself, especially if you have a decently equipped kitchen on site. When choosing a food circle, one should be guided by its size. In the case of this vegetable works the rule that the smaller it the better. Large, over-sized copies are not suitable for food because they are hard and bast. So it's best to choose pods no more than about 8 cm. The smallest 5-6 cm will be ideal.
1. Rinse the collar and cut off stalks, or the characteristic cap at the end. Then let it soak for about an hour in water with a tablespoon of salt and 2-3 tablespoons of wine vinegar. This treatment will remove sticky juice from the okra, which after passing into the sauce later could change its consistency. After this time, we drain off the pods.
2. In a large pot, fry the finely chopped onions in olive oil and after a few minutes, add a chopped clove of garlic. Put onion into the onion, tomatoes grated or finished, ground from a can, chopped parsley and some water.
3. Bring the dish to a boil and then reduce the heat. The dish is stewed under cover for about half an hour. It should be soft, but it should not be overcooked. At the end of cooking, season with salt and pepper. Our dish was especially tasty with fresh bread and chilled retsin.
Καλή όρεξη!
Briam is one of the most famous dishes of Greek cuisine. Depending on the region of Greece, this vegetable casserole consisting of zucchini, potatoes and eggplant has many variants. Even on our site there are two recipes for its preparation. Today we will add another one that definitely surprised us. We ate briam prepared this way in Paleochora in one of our favorite family traditional taverns this year.
Zucchini in Greek cuisine is ubiquitous. Kolokithopita is in Poland a less known way to use this popular vegetable. Kolokithopita in taste is very subtle and delicate, so combining it with, for example, tzatziki sauce will cause that the garlic contained in the sauce will dominate its taste.
Recently, we managed to buy an okra, which in Crete is a very popular and cheap vegetable. In Poland, in a fresh form, we met her for the first time and unfortunately her price was much higher than the one we pay in Greece. Ok, this time we cooked in the oven with a large amount of olive oil and tomato sauce. We put a recipe in case someone from you also bought an okra and did not know what to do with it ;-)
