Sending hugs to those in Cyprus during the second

Sending hugs to those in Cyprus during the second full lockdown there. Thought I’d share a photo from one of my favourite restaurants as a reminder of better things to come. Any guesses of which one it is? It’s Militzis in Larnaca - (I’d be really impressed if you could have guessed that from the photo!). It’s one of my top two favourite restaurants in Cyprus, and I hope to take @swdoyle1 and Clemmie to it once things get better. Hope everyone is staying safe and sane and looking forward to the time when these meals and shots become a possibility again. #WhatsyourfavouriterestaurantinCyprus? #cyprus #cyprusfood #cypriotfood #cypriotrecipes #visitcyprus #lovecyprus #cypruscuisine #eattheworld #tastelovers #villagesalad #grilledhaloumi #pougouri #tashi

Braised Artichoke & Pea Recipe below. I will be ma

Braised Artichoke & Pea Recipe below. I will be making this later this week and wanted to share the recipe ahead of time, as I’ll be posting a bourekia me gima recipe soon. Most of the braised Cypriot vegetarian dishes I make have tomato in them, but this one doesn’t. It’s less acidic as a result. In fact, it’s incredible to me how sweet this recipe tastes, and how flavourful the oil becomes - best enjoyed with toasted bread - Cypriot Village Bread if you have access to it. Delicious anywhere in the world, with or without the Cypriot bread though! Wishing you all a lovely start to the week. 🌸Plate from @lembapottery_cyprus

2 cups water
Half a lemon, juiced
2 artichokes
3/4 cup olive oil
1 & 1/2 cups chopped green onions
1/2 cup chopped dill
2 cups frozen peas
Salt and pepper to taste

In a small bowl, add 2 cups water and juice of half a lemon. Peel, clean and chop artichoke into 6 small pieces and place in lemon water immediately. Add olive oil to a medium pot over medium high heat. Fry green onions until soft. Add artichoke pieces for 2 minutes. Reserve lemon water. Add dill, peas and enough lemon water to cover mixture. Simmer until artichokes are soft and water evaporates about 30-40 minutes. Season with salt and pepper towards the end.

Leftovers. Usually with keftedes we pair it along

Leftovers. Usually with keftedes we pair it along side a tomato bulgur pilaf (pougouri) but two days ago we served it alongside this spinach rice dish called spanikorizi. It’s technically a side, but I’ll eat it as a main too- with feta and olives. With feta, it reminds me of the rice version of spanikopita as it has dill and spring onion flavours too. I’ll share the recipe for this too, after I share the keftedes one tomorrow. Ceramics by @lembapottery_cyprus - (I cracked it, but I still use and love it!) PS And for anyone interested in green recipes generally, @food52 is sharing some beautiful dishes this week too. Wishing you all a lovely Friday! 💕✨💕
