Description
Spetzofai is a Greek dish, typical of the region of Pelion (Pilio mountain), one of the most beautiful places in Greece, with picturesque villages, stone houses, with a luxurious Apple orchards, traditional tavernas with their own specialities. According to mythology, it was here, in the Mountains of Pelion lived the Centaurs - half men and half polularity. We too rested there. With the very recipe I was familiar with before our trip, but, as in every journey, there were a lot of new and interesting for me. On my return I picked up a large number of jars with different jams (even pistachio, which has since become my favorite!). Maybe that's why our trip in Pilio in my memory is the "sweet" taste. *I remember this recipe on the website and published please enroll me for the recipe, as an option in my performance.
Ingredients
-
Sausages
500 g
-
Pepper
8 piece
-
Garlic
-
Black pepper
-
Salt
-
Olive oil
-
Tomato paste
1 Tbsp
Cooking
Pepper rinse, dry with paper towel. Remove the stalk and seed boxes. Slice each pepper into 2-3 pieces crosswise.
In olive oil lightly fry peeled and sliced into oblong slices of garlic.
Add the chopped peppers. Fry the peppers in oil until soft.
Homemade spicy sausages cut into small wedges. I have a sausage and I use no sausages ready for the grill. Sausages also add to the peppers and fry them a bit.
Add the tomato paste, salt and pepper, add a little water (you can substitute dry white wine) and leave on low heat until fully cooked (until complete evaporation of the liquid).
The finished dish "Spetzofai" - peppers with sausage.
And the same dish is completely different, if you replace the sausages on a chicken breast.
Almost the same pattern, only...
... fry first chopped into small pieces chicken.
Fried meat to shift to the dish and then in the same sequence...
... fry lightly the garlic, add the sliced peppers. Add again the fried chicken pieces, a spoonful of tomato paste( you can and more, it's not for everybody), salt, pepper, add water (wine) and cook until ready (until complete evaporation of the liquid).
NOTE: sometimes "Spetzofai" add the fried pieces of eggplant, but in the original recipe the eggplant is missing. In my opinion, both variants are the most delicious soft, tender peppers.
All a pleasant appetite!
