Okra in Oil

Almost a Greek alphabet to the benefits of underestimated birmises, which take so long and so many years the remorse comments of the universe without kichch. Do not listen to the "malicious" who propagate that okra is "the shame of the vegetables" 😆😆😆🌿👌…
Just 350-400 calories -at most- has a portion of them, while breathing a hot pizza special you get 875! So do not listen to others' prejudices, cook this vegetable and enjoy it. We did not eat so much food as the taste buds of the palate dared to try and revise.
The process for their preparation, when okra is fresh, it is a little time consuming, but this contributes to their delicacy and differentiates them from the frozen.
Easy, tasty and really healthy dish!
Yours!

Sun-dried Tomatoes

Very tasty sun-dried tomatoes are made from mature regular tomatoes or from anhydrous tomatoes (a special variety of tomatoes, which is common in many islands in the Aegean Sea and resembles the Italian pomodori or roma variety). Dried under the sun they evaporate the water they contain. On drying, tomatoes lose 88% of their weight while larger tomatoes lose 93%.
Sundried tomatoes have the same nutritional value as fresh and to produce a kilo of sun dried tomatoes need about 14 kg of fresh tomatoes. They are rich in lycopene, antioxidants and vitamin C. They are preserved in sterilized jars in olive oil and various aromatic herbs and spices, like coriander & cardamom.
Sundried tomatoes have a great variety of colors, sizes and flavors. They have many uses in the Mediterranean Cuisine. Traditionally they are served with olive oil, feta cheese & basil for a very tasty meal.

Cheese Filo Triangles

Wonderful, delicious, dry without extra oils, without greasy texture, that alters their taste and appearance. Follow the instructions and you will have the tastiest triangles cheese pies. If you add them to the serving as long as they are lukewarm, with fresh thyme honey, then the flavors take off and the palate tastes a delicious flavor. Their ingredients are simple and very easy to do.
We preferred for filling the fresh Manouri this extraordinary traditional Greek cheese with its origins dating back to ancient times. It belongs to the category of soft whey cheeses and is produced mainly in Central and Western Macedonia, Thessaly and Crete, having been designated by the Greek National Milk Commission as "the most excellent traditional Greek whey cheese".
It is distinguished by its sweet and mild taste, aroma and texture. Manouri, while considered ideal for the preparation of appetizers, is widely used in a variety of hot or cold, sweet or salty, mainly dessert meals.
Here in these triangular pancakes it was perfect with the Fylo pastry sheets remaining firm, enclosing the cheese.

Fresh Peach & Black Grape Upside-Down Cake

The feeling that simple is the best is almost always true when dealing with primary, fresh, excellent, seasonal ingredients. Knowing that June is the peak of the peach season, the best ingredient for a simple but impressive dessert.
Fresh, summer, dessert & juicy peaches give us the opportunity to enjoy them in many ways, primarily in sweet desserts but in savory tastes too, in drinks & smoothies or in compotes.
The cake is baked low and slowly for about 40 minutes until the surface become red-gold and sliced peaches inside softened and caramelized from the addition of the sweet Black Grape but also from brown sugar and butter. The cake itself has absorbed all the sweetness of the candy. The aroma that comes out of the oven while the cake is baked is heavenly, with sweet vanilla and syrupy-caramel peaches. The only downside to this summer's upside-down cake is that you will have to share it…
