Περιγραφή

These are among the most common meze you will find on a Chian table. In a small saganaki pan, we cook a thin, crêpe-like omelette, on which we place spicy beef mince and roll it up inside the pan. It is served with grated dry mastelo cheese and mint. Their name comes from the eggs, because the recipe contains many eggs and from the cylindrical shape given to them, which is compared to the body of a squid.

Εκτέλεση

For the filling: Heat the oil and sauté the onion. Add the minced meat and brown it well. Season with salt and pepper, pour in a little water and simmer for about 25 minutes until cooked. Add the cheese and stir.
For the avgokalamara: Beat the eggs with the milk, season with salt and pepper and, in a non-stick pan greased with olive oil, make thin, small omelettes like crêpes. Fill them with minced meat and carefully roll them up. Then drizzle them with a little lemon juice, sprinkle with a little grated cheese and serve immediately.

Venizelika of Limnos
After the liberation of Lemnos from the Ottoman yoke in 1912 and, subsequently, with its incorporation into the Greek state, the island was visited by Eleftherios Venizelos. After disembarking at Romeikos Gialos in Myrina, where a crowd had gathered to welcome him, he sampled the treats that had been prepared for him. Among other things, he showed a particular preference for a small white fondant, filled with walnut and almond. And thus, the little fondants with white icing came to be called “venizelika” (Venizelos sweets).
