Περιγραφή

Pulses have always been a staple food of Greek cuisine. Apart from the fact that our land is easy for cultivating pulses, it was and still is also easy to store and preserve them for a long time. “Married” pulses were also the solution for the next day. When pulses were left over, they cooked them with rice the next day, i.e. chickpea rice, bean rice, lentil rice, and thus nothing went to waste. Finally, pulses combined with rice are a very healthy food, providing a source of protein. The addition of rice elevates the nutritional value of the dish.

Εκτέλεση

Put the mixed pulses in a pot. Add water and boil until the pulses soften. (For faster boiling, soak the pulses from the previous night.) Whenever necessary, skim off the foam (depending on the variety of pulses). If additional water is needed, add only hot water. When they have softened, drain them. In a pot, boil the rice with a little salt, oil and pepper. When the rice is ready, add the pulses to the same pot, let them thicken and finish with the lemon juice.

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).
