Thought of sharing this with you:

Greek Rice Pudding:

1/3 cup of rice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup of water
1 quart milk, scalded
3/4 cup of sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
cinnamon, for sprinkling on top

Cook rice in salted boiling water until water is absorbed; add hot milk and cook slowly until rice is tender. Add sugar and heat until sugar is dissolved. Remove pan from heat. In a bowl, beat eggs and stir a little of the hot milk mixture in them; add butter and stir until melted and blended.
Pour this into the rice mixture. Return pan to stove and heat until creamy. Add vanilla; mix and pour into dessert dishes and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Thanks,

Not sure, it'd be worth a try I guess.

What DP meant to say is, "Ginger ... that sounds gross."

Good.
We've went to dinner last night.

I have another Greek recipe:

Greek Style Hamburgers:

1 1/4 pound ground beef
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh celery leaves, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cooked rice
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup beef broth
1/4 cup red wine
1/4 sour cream (I'll leave this out because I hate sour cream, but I put the original recipe with sour cream.)

Combine meats, spices, celery leaves, onion, and rice with hands. Shape into 2 inch diameter patties and brown in melted butter. Remove patties from pan. To the drippings, add tomato paste and flour. Add broth and wine cook until thickened. Add a little water if necessary. Add sour cream to sauce and return patties to pan. Spoon sauce over patties and simmer 10 minutes.

If you don't like sour cream just do the same process, but don't add sour cream to the mixture and just put the patties in the pan without sour cream.

Taste the same.

Instead of sourc cream you can use - like it's done in Greece - Greek yoghurt (but with at least 10% fat).

Yep that too.
But these are family recipes so I write them how they are written in my family recipe book.
My grandfather made the Greek Hamburgers with sour cream.
I liked it the way my mom makes it.

Of course these are also Greek dishes made in Greece, but they have a little family twist.

I just give you guys the basic normal Greek way because I don't share family secrets.

Will I be the one to clue you in, Leaka? Your recipes are similar to many of ours from different cultures.

Get a grip on yourself and do some online exploring.



I'll agree there will be greek recipes different from others, but that is not my expertise.


Me, I'd say open your window.
