Holy Saturday and it's all 'go'
The offal and lettuce soup, mageritsa, is cooking and K is making kokretsi, chunks of liver, spleen, heart, kidneys and the like on a long spit.
Tomorrow the clan gathers. We won't be spit roasting a lamb, or goat, this year. He's lighting the wood oven outside and the lamb will be roasted in a baking dish with potatoes.
The lettuce and spring onion is kept fresh outside with their roots in water
Red eggs and Easter biscuits are made
We give them away to friends and neighbours, and they are fast replaced by more from the kitchens of those same friends and neighbours.
Here's the 'boy' making that kokoretsi, roll of offal, which will be cooked tomorrow, Easter Sunday
Kalo Pasca
Happy Easter
Happy Easter!

DeleteI've always wanted to taste that offal 'kebab'. I've seen a lot written about it, but never had the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteIt's best eaten hot straight from the spit. You'll have to come here to eat it

DeleteI guess I am a bit late, but I hope you and the family all had a great time together celebrating Easter :)
ReplyDeleteA lot of fun, noise and food. So nice to see all the kids together
Deletehmm that soup sounds certainly unique. We had a quiet Easter here, most of it working but we had Friday off.
ReplyDeleteOffal and lettuce in an egg and lemon sauce. I wasn't sure about it till I tried it. Years ago. It's delicious
