«Αναρωτιέμαι συχνά που είναι το απόγειο της μαγειρικής. Είναι τα πιο φρέσκα υλικά, οι πιο πολύπλοκες γεύσεις είναι το καθημερινό ή το σπάνιο; Δεν είναι τίποτε απ΄όλα αυτά. Το απόγειο δεν είναι ούτε η κατανάλωση του φαγητού ούτε το μαγείρεμα, αλλά η προσφορά του φαγητού και η συντροφικότητα…»

Ingredients (~50 loukoumades)
|
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Add flour and salt and mix well. Mix until it becomes a viscous slurry. Control liquidity and accordingly add a little water or flour. |
Cover with a damp towel or even better with a plastic bag and place in a warm place to rise. If it is in heat needs ~20′. |
In a deep pan heat the olive oil well. To give better shape to the loukoumades dip your palm on inflated mixture and push upwards a little. The Loukouma (doughy little ball), which comes from the thumb, cut it with wet spoon and pour the hot oil. |
Every time before repeating the process, dip the spoon in water. Careful to put as many loukoumades, those who fit the surface of the oil, not cramped because they inflate. You are constantly turning them with a slotted spoon into the hot oil and when the loukoumades get golden color, remove them and place them on a plate with paper towels. |
Before cool the loukoumades pour thyme honey and sprinkle with cinnamon and sesame roasted or crushed and roasted walnuts. |
