Περιγραφή

Among the local products of the island, the lobsters of Agios Efstratios stand out for their excellent quality and wonderful flavor, as they are considered the tastiest in the Aegean. They are a luxury item not in terms of price, as they are very economical, but in terms of taste, because they will truly remain unforgettable.

Εκτέλεση

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion and fennel for 1–2 minutes. Add the lobster, salt and pepper and continue cooking for another 5–6 minutes, until the lobster changes color and turns reddish. Add about 2 liters of water, not to cover the lobster but to reach the middle of its body, close the lid and boil for about 10–15 minutes. Add the rice, stir well and boil for 10–12 minutes, stirring frequently with the pot uncovered, until the liquid has evaporated and the dish has thickened. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with pepper and finely chopped fresh fennel, and serve.

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).
