Melitzanosalata is another application of popular aubergines in Greece. Delicious pasta, in which the main role is played by this unique vegetable, can be an addition to meat dishes but above all it will be great as a bread paste with which it really tastes great. It is easy to prepare and it is worth doing in the summer when fresh local aubergines are available.
Taste melitzanosalaty can be enriched by adding garlic, which will enhance its taste. Some Greeks also add Greek yogurt. We, however, remain at the basic version adding only a clove of garlic.
1. Preparation of melitzanosalaty begins with baking an eggplant. Before putting it in the oven, prick the skin several times with a fork or cut it lengthwise in half. Bake the vegetable at 190 degrees for about 45 minutes.
2. After a slight cooling, we dig out the flesh from the skin and, together with the lemon juice and salt, mix it in the crusher.
3. Then add chopped onion, garlic, parsley and mix again adding olive oil. The paste should be quite dense and smooth. If necessary, season it with salt and a bit of lemon juice. It tastes even warmer, although the cold is also very tasty.
Καλή όρεξη!
Tirokafteri is a popular addition to bread or pita, which can also be obtained in a tavern as meze. It can be described as a Greek paste made of feta cheese and paprika.
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.
We were eating this meal for the first time in Rethymno in one of the humble family taverns outside the main tourist trail. We were surprised by the slightly different taste of breadcrumbs that we wanted to recreate in our kitchen. As we have managed to establish with the friendly Greeks, it is the addition of beer that is responsible for this characteristic taste.
