Χωρίς κοπιαστικό ζύμωμα --αφήνοντας, αν θέλετε, αποβραδίς τη ζύμη στο ψυγείο για να ανέβει-- θα ετοιμάστε μια αυθεντική παλιοκαιρίσια λαγάνα. Αυτό το λαχταριστό ψωμί δεν είναι ανούσιος αφρός, όπως οι τα ‘χωριάτικα’ και οι λαγάνες του εμπορίου, αλλά έχει τραγανή κρούστα και σφιχτή, γευστική ψίχα που μασιέται.
Σε μικρή γαβάθα, ανακακατέψτε ζωηρά τα υλικά, να γίνουν χυλός. Προσέξτε να μη μείνουν σβώλοι. Σκεπάστε χαλαρά με πλαστική μεμβράνη και αφήστε σε θερμοκρασία δωματίου για 48 ώρες.
Place flours, yeast and spices in the bowl of a standing mixer and toss with a spatula. Make a well in the center and pour in the orange juice, the milk and the olive oil.
Adapted from the traditional English recipe. I often add some julienned tangerine, orange and kumquat peels together with the sliced lemon and Seville orange.
Plain, as my mother liked them, or stuffed with nuts, as some people on the islands do, these Christmas cookies are my favorite sweet.
Dilute the pickling lime in the water and add the diced pumpkin. Leave for 4 hours or overnight, and drain. Rinse thoroughly under cold water. Drain and lay on paper towels to dry the pieces.
An unusually deep flavored sweet pumpkin pie from the large island of the northeastern Aegean. The cheese used in Lesbos is the local ladotyri (cheese aged submerged in olive oil). Parmigiano Reggiano is a good substitute.
In the winter, when vine-ripened tomatoes are not available, use sun-dried tomatoes with some of the more flavorful cherry ones (See Note).
Beat together the olive oil and sugar with a hand-held mixer.
Serve finished lemon peel rolls with a glass of water on their own, as dessert, or slice rolls and use as topping for vanilla ice cream, thick yogurt, or cakes. To juice lemons, quarter the peeled lemons remove the pips, and process in a blender.
