Hello everyone. It has been a while since my last post. I will not give you a recipe for this post, since it was a complimentary dish from a dearest person. All I can say is that it was delicious!
Tsourekia for Greek Orthodox Easter
Happy Easter Everyone!
--------------------------
This is my 1st attempt of making Tsourekia, a traditional Greek treat for Easter. I found an excellent recipe from Kopiaste.org. My friend Ivy creates wonderful recipes and she was the only one I could trust on this.
I changed a few ingredients though. Instead of using chestnuts I used Nutella and walnuts, in two of the four Tsourekia. The other two are plain. I used 6 small eggs, 3/4 of a cup of anise tea, orange zest and evaporated milk. And by the way I forgot to sprinkle sugar on top of Tsourekia before I baked them. The cooking time was half an hour and the taste is SUPER!!!
I think I will make Tsourekia more often. They are incredibly delicious! Thanks Ivy for sharing this recipe with us. Have a Happy Easter!!

Christos Anesti. Thank you for trying my recipe and I am really glad you liked them. They are so perfect for breakfast and this morning I had a piece of the savory one but also a large slice of the one I made with nutella. I am leaving the third one for dessert :) Both were perfect but next year when making flaounes I urge you to try the savory one as well.
ReplyDeleteThese look fantastic, you did a wonderful job with the braiding. I am surprised to read that this was a first attempt, obviously you have been hiding away your talent for bread-yum! The change with the Nutella really sounds like a great twist. Impressive post Efty!
ReplyDeleteA belated Happy Easter to you too! Haven't been on here for a while so busy and this was the first recipe I opened. Looks wonderful can't wait to try, you have good friends :-)

That looks delicious.....It's 4:00 am in the morning and I am hungry. Or rather the looks of the food makes my belly churn.... Great psychology!
ReplyDeleteI just got bad news and I immediately notice that my impulse control is in confusion because I dont know whether I am at a loss for appetite or if I want to run to my fridge to try and find something to make me feel better so emotionally I haven't even come to a definite coping device yet...any one have this happen to them?
