OUR CUISINE

Τελευταία ενημέρωση: 10/04/23

The region of Greek cuisine

Our students worked on a Greek and Polish cookery book which includes the most popular dishes in our countries. This is because we are of the opinion that the knowledge of food and meals is an unquestionable prerequisite to any face-to-face intercultural relations. Moreover, putting it into practice, i.e. cooking dishes and tasting them will also give our students much pleasure, which you will see in our short movies.

Greek Breakfast The word breakfast for many people (except the Greek people) means a complete meal which is consisted of eggs, bread, cereals, milk, coffee and juices. In comparison to us, where the word breakfast doesn’t mean anything. When people ask me what the Greek ones eat for breakfast the first answer that I have in mind is coffee and cigarettes. The reason why we don’t eat any breakfast might be because we wake up very early in the mornings due to our jobs duties. So as a result of the above we don’t have enough time for a good breakfast. So we prefer to drink some coffee than eat eggs, cereals et cetera. As far as student’s breakfast it is a similar situation. In my opinion we follow our parents’ habits and we don’t have any breakfast at all. We might buy something on our way to school. Unfortunately, such habits cause health problems. They put on weight because we are hungry at noon and we eat a lot at lunch. To sum up, we have got used to it and it is too difficult to change our habits as it seems no problem to us. In addition to all, for us our lunch and dinner time is more important!

Breakfast

Polish BreakfastIn Poland what breakfast we eat depends on what kind of people we are. Some of us don’t eat breakfast because we don’t have time to do that. Others just don’t like to eat so early. On the other hand, there are lot of people who cannot live without a big ration of food at the beginning of the day. We students usually buy something to eat at school even if we ate breakfast earlier (we just like to eat a lot). For breakfast we normally eat sandwiches with meat and cheese or toasts. We also have cereals. All in all, breakfast is important, if not the most important for us. If we don’t eat at home, we take our breakfast to school or work.

Greek recipes

People in Poland have dinner at home, usually with their families. Of course, we have some fast food restaurants but it's a rare view to see someone eating there as a routine. Typical Polish dinner consists of meat (pork or poultry)- quite often with sauce, potatoes and some kind of salad ( usually it's cabbage salad or sliced cucumbers with cream). Dinner is the second most important meal in the whole day. Breakfast is most important. Dinnertime in Poland are hours between 2 pm and 4 pm. But some people eat dinner even at 1 pm or 6 pm.

Vasilopita

Ingredients: 1 cup fresh milk 2 tsp yeast 4 eggs 1 cup butter 1½ cups sugar1 sachet mahlepi grated lemon peel

1 level tsp salt 1 kg flourblanched almonds

Method:Pour half a cup of tepid milk in a large bowl and dissolve the yeast in it. Add half a cup of flour and mix it until it becomes dough.

Cover with a towel and leave it in a warm place for about an hour in order to let it rise.Once the dough has risen, beat the sugar with the yolks in a mixer.Pour in the rest of the milk, egg white, melted butter, mahlepi and lemon scraping. Knead the dough, adding flour gradually so that the dough does not become tough.

Shape it into balls and place them in a bowl.Cover them with a towel and leave in a warm place for three hours, until they double in size. Knead the dough for five minutes and place on buttered wax paper spread on a large round tray or two smaller ones. Cover the balls of dough and leave in a warm place for about two hours until they double in size. Beat together an egg yolk and a teaspoon of water and use this mixture to glaze the dough.Before placing in oven, use the blanched almonds to mark the dough with the numerals of the new year.

The custom

The custom of Vasilopita

The history of new year cake or why we make new year cakes Dear friends, below we will explain to you the history of the vasilopita, a history that begins hundreds of years ago, 1,500 years ago roughly, in the city Caesarea of Kappadokias, in Asia Minor (western Turkey today). The Great King was despot of Caesarea and lived harmoniously with his fellow men, with love, understanding and mutual help. One day however, a hungry general - tyrant of the region asked him for all the treasures of the city of Caesarea, threatening that otherwise he would besiege the city to conquer and plunder it. Throughout the entire night the Great King prayed for God to save the city. At dawn the general decided to encircle Caesarea. He entered with his army and asked to see the Despot, who was found in the temple praying.With audacity and anger the unscrupulous general demanded the gathering of the gold of the city as well as other precious items that existed. The Great King answered that the people of his city did not have anything other than hunger and that they did not have anything to give to the general. But the general upon hearing the message demanded even more and threatened the king.

The Christians of Caesarea loved their Despot and wanted to help him. They therefore gathered from their houses whatever gold they had and offered it to him. The general was furious and ordered his soldiers to attack the city. The Great King gathered all the gold that was offered by the citizens and presented them to the general in order to save his city from a massacre. However, the moment the general opened the treasures a miracle occurred. All assembled saw a bright burst of light followed by a brilliant rider dashing above the general and his army. Within a short time, the general and his army disappeared. The rider was Aghios Merkourios and the soldiers were his angels.Thus the city of Caesarea was saved. Then, however, the despot found himself in a difficult position!How was he to share the gold with the residents of the city and distribute it fairly? It was a very difficult task indeed. After praying, the Great King was given divine guidance and he called on his aides to bake small loaves of bread and place some gold coins inside each one of them. The surprise for the residents came when they were distributed the bread and they found gold coins inside for them to keep. This later turned into a New Year celebration which we still find today, with each Greek family cutting the vasilopita cake which contains a coin and which will bring luck to the person who finds it.ected the custom with the New Year cake.

The custom

The custom of christopsomo

Christopsomo: is a Greek bread decorated with an early form of the Christian cross with ends that split and curl into circles. Sometimes initials, birth dates and ages are added to celebrate all occasions. It is a rich, round loaf scented with wine soaked orange and it sometimes contains mastiha, a dried pine resin. The bread is sometimes served with honey on Christmas eve. Families leave pieces of bread on the table believing that Christ will come and eat them during the night.

During the 40 days of fasting, special loaves of Christopsomo, which translates to Christ's Bread, are prepared for the meals. The loaves are round and decorated with a cross, which people make symbols shaped in dough. It is considered a sacred tradition in Greek Orthodox homes, and the care with which it is made is said to ensure the well-being of the home in the year to come. Only the purest and most expensive ingredients are used. The bread is often decorated with pieces of dough formed into representations of the family's life. Traditionally on Christmas Eve every household would bake a Christopsomo and then decorated with engravings on the crust that represent aspects of the family's life and profession.

In earlier times, Greek cooks baked large quantities of bread to last for 10-15 days, so baking just one or two loaves of Christopsomo the night before Christmas had special significance. The cook would start by crossing him/herself before starting the preparations, making this Christmas bread, which still is - considered by many to be a sacred task and great care is taken in its preparation. Raisins, nuts, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg are just a few of the taste treats that some recipes use for this traditional loaf.

Some detail

s

DIRECTIONS:

1. Coat the fish in flour and fry on hot oil for a few minutes.

One of the famous Christmas dishes in Poland is Fish Fillet With Vegetables. Maybe its name has nothing to do with Greece, but in Poland people call it fish a la Greece or fish the Greek way. It's easy to make. You can also keep it in the fridge for several days and eat it cold or hot immediately after it is prepared. Fundamentally, the preparation of this dish consists in frying the fish and adding vegetables to it. There are many variants of fish fillet with vegetables (for example you can add more fish to vegetables or opposite).

Greek traditions about EasterGood Thursday• The housewives dye the Easter eggs. Red is the colour mainly used for dyeing the Easter eggs

but many other colours, such as green, blue or yellow are also used.Good Friday• People eat vegetables or soup cooked in water only, on this day. In this way they fast and mourn

for the death of Jesus Christ. In the evening they go to church and join the epitaph procession around the neighborhoods.

Good Friday• Godfathers and godmothers give their godchildren gifts, chocolate Easter eggs and an Easter

candle to hold in church during the service on the eve of Easter Sunday.Good Saturday• People go to church late at night holding their Easter candles. At midnight when the priest brings

the good news of Jesus Christ's resurrection to the people, they exchange kisses and wishes. The wish exchanged is "Christ has risen!" and the other person confirms this bysaying "Indeed he has!“

Early Easter Sunday• After the service people return home and have a traditional soup called mayiritsa.Easter Sunday• On this day people get together with friends and family, eat lamb on the spit and drink wine.

They have a big celebration with traditional songs and dances.

Mediterranean Diet• The Secret of the Mediterranean's Lifelong Health

Researchers have discovered that people in the countries that border the Mediterranean Sea exhibit strikingly low rates of heart disease compared to Americans and others. Extensive research in the past few years has isolated key dietary habits as a vital part of the vicinities lower rates of chronic disease. Dietary data from those parts of the Mediterranean region that in the recent past enjoyed the lowest recorded rates of chronic diseases and the highest adult life expectancy ate a diet like the " Mediterranean Diet Healthy Weight Plan"

This diet is known as the Mediterranean diet, and it consists mostly of grains, fruits, beans, and vegetables. This style of eating includes little meat and plenty of olive oil. Researchers suggest that the live bacterial cultures of yogurt may also have contributed to the regions good health. One item commonly found in Mediterranean dishes is garlic. Garlic may help prevent blood clots, lower your cholesterol level, and protect you against cancer.

Mediterranean Diet

The Mediterranean diet also includes moderate amounts of wine. Some researchers think this may account for Mediterranean s' healthy hearts. For men moderation is two glasses per day, for women moderation is one glass per day.

There is a general consensus among health professionals that the Mediterranean Diet is healthier than the North European and American diet because more grains, such as spaghetti, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and olive oil are consumed. Moderate amounts of fish and cheese and very little red meat is consumed.

Key features of the Mediterranean diet:

High consumption of breads, pasta, rice, couscous, potent, bulgur and potatoes

High consumption of fruits (3-4 pieces a day), legumes and vegetables (5 different varieties)

Moderate amounts of grilled and steamed fish

Moderate amounts of olive oil - consumed with fresh vegetables and on salads

Small portions of lean red meat with no visible fat, lean pork

Alcohol in small amounts

High intake of antioxidants

THE REGION OF POLISH CUISINE

POLISH CUISINE

Polish cuisine has elements taken from the cooking traditions of the many national groups that lived in the country side by side for centuries, notably the Jews, Ukrainians, Byelorussians and Lithuanians. There are also some Russian, German, Czech and Austrian influences as well as dishes from more distant regions: Italy, France and the Middle East.

One Polish speciality is a profusion of excellent smoked meats, especially sausage (kiełbasa), very popular throughout the world, made after traditional recipes and smoked over juniper or fruit-tree twigs. You'll be delighted by the cured and smoked hams, poultry, pork and beef fillets, and bacons. Equally delectable are Polish pâtés made from a variety of meats including game.

Poland is renowned for its various types of delicious bread: white, brown, wholemeal, with raisins, prunes, sesame seeds, poppy seeds.

Key elements of the Polish cuisine: potatoes, meats, various salads with favourite cabbage, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and carrots, various types of bread and rolls, tea, coffee, milk, juices, little fish, almost no seafood

However, pizzas, kebabs, hamburgers and cheeseburgers are also very popular.

GemistaINGREDIENTS: DIRECTIONS:

•8 large tomatoes, large peppers, aubergines, courgettes or combination

•150 gr. long-grain rice

•350 gr. onions

•200 ml olive oil

•250 gr. tomatoes, peeled and thickly grated

•150 ml water

•1 teacup chopped parsley

Prepare the vegetables to be stuffed and reserve their pulp. Place the rice in a bowl. Add the onions, the fresh herbs, the shredded tomato or aubergine or courgette pulp and any reserved juices or pulp, half the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Place the prepared vegetables in a deep baking dish, tightly packed. Fill each vegetable with the prepared stuffing, but only three-quarters full, leaving room for the uncooked rice to expand. Cover with the reserved sliced round tops. Pour the rest of the olive oil on top of each vegetable. Pour into the bottom of the dish the grated fresh tomatoes, mixed with the water, season with salt and pepper all over and bake in a pre-heated oven, gas no. 5 (375 grades F/190 grades C), for 1.5 hours. Baste the vegetables at least twice, in order to keep them moist on the top. If you are experienced with cooking Gemista you may also try to use Pine Nuts, almonds and Raisins for the stuffing, by using less rice and onions.

Bigos


- White cabbage – 5,000g- Sauerkraut – 3,000g- Bacon – 1,500g- Pork – 1,500g- Beef – 1,500g

- Sausages – 1,500g

Good ingredients for bigos are different kinds of meat without bones: boiled, roast poultry or meat from duck, goose or even venison.

First boil cabbage in a big pot for a few hours without adding anything. Then boil dry mushrooms in a small pot and cut them. Next add them to bigos and let bigos cook for several minutes. Next what you have to do is cut dried plums without stones (the best are smoked plums) and of course add them to bigos.

Season bigos with tomato concentrate (puree) or tomatoes, marjoram and pepper. If you want, you can improve the taste of bigos with juniper, savoury, rue, basil, estragon, rosemary.

Add 1,000ml of good, dry wine to the bigos which has already been cooking for a few hours.

For the better taste of bigos, you must cool it down and boil again. Our ancestors used to cook bigos for a few days.

Bon appetit!

BigosIf somebody asks what dish from the Polish cuisine is really Polish and only Polish, the

answer is only one - bigos. None of the dishes have so many descriptions full of delight, almost adoration for taste and aroma of this wonderful mixture of vegetables and many kinds of meat. Polish people have liked bigos for a very long time. It could even be seen on the royal table. Bigos is a very Polish dish. It matches the Polish character. After all we are a nation of individualists. You can say: Where there are two Polish people there are three bigos dishes.

There are several rules of preparation of this dish. You can add more of the first ingredient and less of the second one, so cooking bigos can be a field to show your cooking skills. It gives a chance to create your own, wonderful dish.

The rules are as follows: Bigos can be made of sweet cabbage and sauerkraut (proportions as you wish) Cabbage for bigos has to be stewed in bouillon To the cooking cabbage we add fried meat and onion (it has to be fried gold) There have to be sausages, bacon and ham added It's nice to see venison in bigos If you want, you can add tomatoes or tomato concentrate to bigos For better results, you may have to add dry mushrooms which are soaked, boiled and cut

beforehand. Mix the cooking cabbage with the mushroom extract A good ingredient for bigos are dried plums

Blue cheese

Spread butter on a slice of bread. Put lettuce, cheese, red radish and tomato on it. You can add spices if you like.

The recipe is not very difficult. To tell the truth, it is a piece of cake.

However, this is a typical component of the Polish breakfast. Instead of the cheese, you can also use ham or other

vegetables.

Scrambled eggs on ham for beginners


1 teaspoonful of butter

5 slices of ham

3 spoonfuls of chopped chives

3 eggs

Salt

Pepper

Melt butter in a small frying pan. Do it slowly on a low heat, gently spreading butter with a wooden spoon. The point

is that the butter must not burn. Put the diced ham and chopped chives into the melted butter. Put the eggs into the

pan. Add some salt and pepper and mix until the eggs set. Do not mix too long because hard scrambled eggs are

not tasty.
