Method
Boiled and Simmered Recipes
Soups, pulses, greens and the egg-lemon technique. The quietest cooking in the repertoire and some of the best of it.
Technique in Greek home cooking tends to be simple and unhurried. There is very little last-minute work, very few sauces made to order, and a great deal of food that improves for sitting around. Most of the skill is in judgement rather than in knife work.
Recipes using this method include Kotosoupa avgolemono, Horta vrasta, Ellinikos kafes, Fasolada, Fava Santorinis and Htapodi sta karvouna.
Every recipe on Kalliopi's Kitchen carries the dish's Greek name and a pronunciation, its region where that is meaningful, ingredient quantities in both metric and imperial, and an honest note on what commonly goes wrong. Nutrition figures are calculated estimates and are labelled as such.
