the milestones menu: nonna berzatto's homemade pasta

prompt: yours and carmen's first "i love you".

contains: fluff, general fluff. some mentions to dead relatives, carmen's self doubt, but very minimal bc it's very fluffy :)

2 cups of flour- Semolina. 

4 Large Eggs 

Pinch of Salt

Put flour into a mound. Make a center, and add the eggs to the middle. Whisk slowly with a fork, gradually working it in little at a time until nice and thick. Knead the mixture for about ten minutes. Let it rest in the fridge for thirty minutes. Put it in a ball, and roll it out very thin. 

“Can’t believe you never had homemade pasta.” Carmen shook his head, blue eyes peeking out from under the mess of curls. 

“Nope.” You shook your head, grinning over the crystal wine glass, sipping your riesling slowly. “Strictly a boxed pasta girl.” 

“Fuckin’ criminal.” Carmen grinned, a playful, lopsided smirk that had you blushing.

The counter was covered in flour, stopping just where you rested, propped up on the granite while Carmen worked. Your eyes trained on his hands, hands that stirred the eggs into the flour, kneaded the dough until your thighs were clenching. 

“My Nonna is rollin’ in her grave right now, you know that?” Carmen pulled you from your gaze, rolling out the dough. 

“Noooo, don't say that.” You laughed, shaking your head. “You’re making me feel bad, Carmen. I swear I thought Olive Garden made fresh pasta.” 

Carmen laughed, a little shy but louder now- more himself. He’d blossomed with you lately, unveiling new parts of himself every single day. “‘M just kiddin’, baby.” Carmen hummed, eyes cutting to you a little skeptical. “Sorry, I-I didn’t mean to sound like an asshole. That sounded douchey, right?” 

You smiled, setting your glass behind you. “No, I was just messin’ with you, bear.” The nickname- his nickname. Hearing it more and more roll from your tongue, each time his heart skipped harder than the last. 

“Is this her recipe?” You asked, picking up the faded recipe card, looped cursive on the aged paper. “Your Nonna’s?” 

“Yeah,” Carmen nodded. “I, uh, so when I left to go to culinary school, right? She was sick, and… and I think she, like, knew that when I went to New York that would be the last time she saw me.” Carmen’s face dropped, slow and sad, it made your own heart sink. 

“So she-she gave me all these recipe books and-and cards that were hers. We used to cook together a lot. She taught me how to cook, y’know? My mom and dad were always at the restaurant and didn’t want to cook when they got home. They didn’t want me in the restaurant either so I spent a lot of time with her.” Carmen muttered. You could see the memories playing behind his eyes. 

You liked to picture that version of Carmen, a little boy with wild curls, helping his Nonna cook. Happy memories. 

“That’s sweet.” You smiled, leaning against the cabinets. “She did a really good job. You know she’s so insanely proud of you.” 

Carmen snorted, shaking his head lightly. “Yes, she is. Everyone’s proud of you, Carmen… I’m proud of you.” You hesitate, eyes scanning his features. It was true, of course, but handling Carmen sometimes was like handling a frightened animal. You were never sure what would make him scatter away in fear. 

Carmen swallowed thickly, cheeks flushed red, lips in a tight line. “T-Thanks.” Carmen muttered, wiping his hands on his apron, tossing the flour back into his clammy hands. 

“She, uh, she woulda loved you, y’know.” Carmen’s eyes met yours, intense and piercing. “I wish you coulda met her.” 

“Yeah, me too.” You nod. “I would’ve loved to hear all the baby Carmen cooking stories. I bet she had some good ones.” You smiled, bright and wide- perfect. It made Carmen’s brain numb. 

“Yeah, she would.” Carmen nodded, hands stilling, still buried in the dough. 

He felt it in his bones, his heart, consuming his thoughts. The overwhelming need he’d felt for weeks, since the first time you kissed him really, that he’d been fighting- too scared to say. What he felt every time he looked at you, when he thought about you. 

“Um, I-I wanna say something, and-and I don’t know if I should even fuckin’ say this or-or if it’s… fuck, if you-you feel the same or I just, I don’t wanna fuck this up because this is like the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and-and I’m workin’ on not ruinin’ good shit in my life and bein’ ok with it like-like my therapist says ya know, but-” Carmen rambled, words spilling out in fast, overwhelming bouts that took you by surprise. 

Carmen flustered, reaching a dough covered hand to his face, the sticky batter catching on his brows and hair. He flushed deeply, hands shaking in embarrassment, cursing under his breath. “F-Fuck, I-I’m sorry. I-I, nevermind, it’s not… I don’t know why-why I would-” His hands trembled, body shaking with anger and embarrassment. Way to fuckin’ go, Berzatto, you fuckin’ ruin it. That’s all you ever do, Carmen thought bitterly, wiping his hands off on the cloth. 

“Carm,” You said softly, your voice a beacon in the raging sea of his mind, pulling him out of his own harsh thoughts. 

Carmen turned, a fury flush of pure embarrassment that burnt all down his cheeks to his chest. Eyes soft and wary, hesitant like he was doomed, destined for the worse. 

You slide off the counter easily, grabbing the spare towel, bringing it to his eyebrows, wiping the dough off gently. The softness of your touch soothed Carmen, lulling his hammering heart- he didn’t see your own shaking hands, filled with your own adrenaline nerves. 

You stood in front of him, eyes on the other, careful and watching- unsure. “I-I love you, too.” Your breath hitched, squeezing the words out in a nervous tumble. Carmen didn’t move, body going rigid, heart stopping entirely. The ringing was back in his ears, clouding his brain so loudly he was sure he heard you wrong. 

“I’ve wanted to say it for a while, too, but didn’t…” You shook your head, heat in your own cheeks, eyes casting down to his dough covered hand. “I didn’t know if-if you felt that or if- I don’t know, I didn’t want to seem crazy or obsessive if it was too soon, and-and scare you.” 

“No,” Carmen croaked, tongue thick in his own mouth. “No, I-I mean- fuck,” Carmen shook his head, looking to the wall. He needed a second, words jumbled in his mouth, heart racing, so high off the adrenaline he felt like he could combust at any moment. 

“I-I was gonna say that too.” Carmen nodded, the quirk in your lips making his heart lurch. “That I love you. I was- yeah, I love you. I-I have for a while.” 

“Really?” You whispered, voice tiny and excited, like it was a secret just for the two of you. Maybe it was. 

“Yeah, fuck yeah.” Carmen let out a breathy, shaky laugh. “I love you, and-and I just love you so much it makes my brain hurt sometimes.” 

“Me too.” You grin, a hand pressing to his cheek. “I love you.” The phrase you’d repressed for so long, deprived yourself of saying now spilled out of you like a mantra- like that was all you could say now. 

Carmen grinned, brain bubbly and light. He let you pull him into a kiss, head tilting down, lips molding over yours so they fit perfectly. 

Later over plates of Bologonese, you grinned across the table from Carmen. “If I didn’t tell you I loved you before, I definitely would now.” You moaned, pointing at the plate. “I really was missing out.” 

Carmen beamed under your praise, gooey and love drunk off your words- off you. He knew Viola Berzatto, wherever she was, was boasting with pride. 

And he knew his Nonna would have loved you too.

Upside down cakes are one of my favorite types of cakes to make, mostly because they are an easy way to impress. In an upside down cake, the fruit is layered on the bottom of the pan along with sugar, and a simple, fluffy cake batter is poured on top. Once it’s baked, the cake is inverted, and what was once the bottom of the cake becomes a gorgeously syrupy, fruity top. What could be simpler?

American upside down cakes are traditionally made with pineapple and cherries, but I gave that ’50s take on the cake a seasonal, Middle Eastern twist by using blood oranges, saffron and semolina flour in the batter. Blood oranges are typically in season from January until early spring, and they are some of my favorite citrus fruits to bake with: bright, not too sweet and seriously flavorful. Here, they add a vibrant pop of color to the cake.

As for the saffron, you might it already know it by its notoriously expensive reputation. Derived from the crocus flower, it’s the world’s most expensive spice, which makes sense considering the difficulty involved in harvesting it. But fear not: While Indian Kashmiri and Iranian saffron are definitely pricey, the more commonly available Spanish saffron is affordable, easily found at online spice retailers (even Trader Joe’s!) and thankfully, still delicious and flavorful.

In this cake, the sweet, floral and honey-like saffron threads are infused into sugar along with zest from the blood orange. The sugar turns extra fragrant and, when combined with orange blossom water and the semolina flour, yields a cake that’s intensely flavored, crumb-y and dense in the best way possible. The oranges on top are syrupy and candy-like (keeping the rind on, thinly sliced, adds even more flavor and fragrance to the cake) and best of all, it comes together in under an hour, just in time for an afternoon cup of tea.

Note: You may keep the rind of the orange on, as pictured, or remove it. Regular oranges can be substituted for the blood oranges.

Idli & Dosa recipe

Next week I'm going to post my long-promised Indian Film Fest 2024, complete with recommendation lists of my fave films. As an appetiser, here's one of the things I've been working on that was inspired by my love of Indian film.

Idli and dosa are Indian side dishes that I recently discovered and fell in love with. Idli are delicious savory steamed cakes meant to be eaten in place of bread or rice, and dosa are crispy pancakes. The same batter can be used to make either.

You can buy inexpensive idli steamers to fit into pots you already own, but there are also fancy all-in-one numbers. The trays are shown below.

Dosa are generally made very thin and crispy - basically a pancake - but can also be made a bit thicker and fluffier, depending on your preference.

The traditional Indian recipe for idli and dosa starts with uncooked rice and dried urad dal beans. They are soaked and then ground and mixed together. The batter is left overnight to develop natural yeast, which makes the idli and dosa fluffy when cooked. However, none of this is very practical. I figured there had to be another way to make them at home without buying a grinder, and did a bit of research. Sure enough, there are instant mixes on the market. I ordered one from a specialty shop and it was nice, and the ingredients were pretty much what I’d guessed they’d be – mainly rice and dal flour (although many instant mixes add semolina, so beware if you’re gluten free), and to make the batter you add in yoghurt to replace the natural yeast.

I’ve done some experiments and found a way to make something that’s close to the idlis I’ve eaten at restaurants. My dosas made with this batter aren’t as thin and crispy (still nice though). My recipe is made with ingredients that should be available locally at most supermarkets – I found these ingredients at both Woolworths and Coles in Australia.

Batter ingredients

White rice flour, not too finely ground (don’t use rice starch).  Mckenzie's Rice Flour works well

Donna Hay* plain or self-raising flour OR equal parts sorghum flour mixed with brown rice flour

Besan flour** OR urad dal flour

Plain yoghurt (not lite). I use Greek yoghurt

A little xanthan gum or psyllium husks if you need to make the batter stickier

Salt

Baking powder

Water

* The Donna Hay flour is a mix of brown rice flour, glutinous rice flour and sorghum flour, and also has a high proportion of xanthan gum. Unfortunately, you can’t just use this as the only source of flour, or your batter will turn into glue when you attempt to cook it because of the xanthan. Ask me how I know. ☹

** Besan flour is not traditional, but urad dal flour is not available locally. Besan isn’t quite as neutral in flavour, but has a nice taste and works well as a substitute.

Making the batter

Measure out the ingredients in the following proportions:

2 white rice flour – 1 Donna Hay flour – 1 besan flour – 2 yoghurt

OR

1 white rice flour – 1 sorghum flour – 1 brown rice flour – 1 besan flour – 2 yoghurt

Put all the ingredients into a large bowl. Then add the following:

Salt – about ¼ tsp per cup of flour, or to taste.

Optional xanthan gum – this is not needed if you’ve used the Donna Hay flour. If you’ve made your own mix of flours a small amount of xanthan gum will help the batter stick together while cooking, especially if you make dosa. About ½ tsp per cup of flour. I prefer the taste and texture of psyllium husks which isn't quite as sticky but have a similar effect. About 1 tsp per cup of flour.

Water – enough to make a thick pancake batter, start with about the same quantity as the total number of cups of flour, but mix it in bit by bit.

Mix batter until smooth and set aside to rest for at least 10 minutes.

Right before cooking, add:

Baking powder – about 2 tsps per cup of flour.

If you have leftover batter, you can store it covered in the fridge. Before cooking, you may need to add a small amount of extra baking powder.

I tested both of the above proportional batter options, and they both worked, although the second option was a bit crumbly for making dosa without some xanthan gum or psyllium added. When I trialled the Donna Hay option, I used their self-raising flour, but the batter still needed baking powder – without it, the idli were solid, chewy lumps. They should be fluffy clouds!

If you use ½ cup white rice flour, ¼ cup Donna Hay flour, ¼ cup besan flour, ½ cup yoghurt, it will make about 12 to 15 idli.

My favourite combination is ¼ cup white rice flour, ¼ cup brown rice flour, ¼ cup sorghum flour, ¼ cup besan, ½ cup yoghurt, around 1 scant cup water, pinch salt.

Steaming idli

Prepare the steamer. Follow the instructions for the idli steamer you buy, but generally, you need to lightly oil the idli cups, and spoon in about 1 Tblspn batter to each.

Idlis take about 10 minutes to steam, and are ready when you can slide a knife in and it comes out clean. To remove from the idli pan, just slide the knife around each idli, and they will pop out. Serve on a plate that’s covered in a paper towel or cotton napkin or clean tea-towel.

Good with curries and soups, or anything you’d eat with rice, but also lovely as a breakfast dish in place of toast, with baked beans, omelette, or jam. They are nicest when fresh, but warm up well in the microwave the next day.

Frying dosa

Dosa are best cooked on either a cast iron pan or a non-stick pan. Warm the pan and spray or wipe on some oil. Spoon batter in a thin layer and shake the pan to even it out. Put a lid on the pan for about five to ten minutes, depending on the thickness of your dosa (I like my dosa slightly thicker than crepe-thin and find that the little bit of steam caused by putting the lid on makes it cook more evenly).

Once the bottom is brown, take the lid off and flip the dosa, and finish cooking without the lid. It’s done when cooked through and crispy on the outside.

Serve as you would a pancake, chapati or other flatbread.

If you end up trying these, I'd love to hear about it. :)

Enjoy!

Must-Have Indian Pantry Staples You Can Order Online Today

Indian cuisine is renowned for its rich flavors, vibrant spices, and diverse ingredients that can transform even a simple dish into a flavorful masterpiece. If you're a fan of Indian cooking or want to explore its culinary magic, stocking your pantry with the right staples is essential. Fortunately, you can now find these ingredients easily through Indian grocery delivery, ensuring you never run out of your favorite essentials.

Here’s a list of must-have Indian pantry staples that you can conveniently order online in the USA:

1. Spices: The Heart of Indian Cooking

Indian cooking is incomplete without its aromatic spices. From cumin and coriander to turmeric and garam masala, these spices are the backbone of almost every dish. They add depth, flavor, and warmth to your recipes. Don’t forget red chili powder and mustard seeds, which are equally essential for creating authentic Indian flavors.

Pro Tip: Opt for whole spices like cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, and cloves for better flavor and a longer shelf life. Grind them fresh for that extra punch in your dishes.

2. Lentils and Pulses

Indian cuisine boasts an impressive variety of dals (lentils) and pulses, including toor dal, moong dal, masoor dal, and chana dal. These are not just protein-packed but also form the base of comforting Indian staples like dal tadka and sambhar. Pulses like chickpeas (chana) and kidney beans (rajma) are also essential for creating hearty dishes.

Quick Tip: Buying in bulk can save you money, especially if you cook these regularly. They are easy to store and have a long shelf life.

3. Rice and Grains

Rice is a staple in most Indian households, with basmati rice being the preferred choice for its aroma and fluffy texture. For more variety, stock up on parboiled rice, sona masoori, or brown rice. Additionally, grains like wheat flour (atta) are indispensable for making flatbreads like chapati and paratha.

Pro Tip: Consider keeping semolina (sooji) and millet flours for preparing South Indian dishes like idli, dosa, and ragi rotis.

4. Oils and Ghee

No Indian pantry is complete without cooking oils like mustard oil, coconut oil, or sesame oil. For those who prefer a neutral taste, sunflower or vegetable oils are great options. Ghee, or clarified butter, is another essential that adds a distinct aroma and richness to dishes like biryani, dal, and desserts.

Health Note: Ghee is a traditional Indian superfood with numerous health benefits, so don’t skip this golden ingredient!

5. Herbs and Aromatics

Fresh or dried herbs and aromatics are crucial for authentic Indian flavors. Curry leaves, dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi), and asafoetida (hing) are some of the unique ingredients you’ll frequently encounter. Additionally, garlic, ginger, and green chilies are indispensable in Indian cooking.

Storage Tip: Buy fresh when possible, but keep dried versions as backups for when you’re in a pinch.

6. Ready-to-Eat Indian Foods

For busy days, ready-to-eat Indian meals can be a lifesaver. From biryanis and curries to stuffed parathas, there are endless options to satisfy your cravings. These meals are easy to prepare and perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.

Convenience Tip: Check online stores offering a variety of ready-to-eat Indian food products to save time and effort.

7. Pickles and Chutneys

Pickles (achar) and chutneys are the quintessential condiments that elevate every Indian meal. Mango pickle, lime pickle, and garlic pickle are some classics that add a tangy, spicy kick. Chutneys like tamarind, mint, or coconut also make great accompaniments to snacks and meals.

Flavor Boost: A spoonful of pickle can transform even the simplest dal-rice combination into a delightful meal.

8. Snacks and Sweets

Indian snacks like samosas, namkeens, and bhujia are perfect for munching during tea time. Additionally, sweets like gulab jamun, laddoos, and barfis are must-haves for festive occasions or to satisfy a sweet tooth. Keeping a small stock of these ensures you’re always prepared for guests or celebrations.

Festive Tip: Many online stores offer traditional Indian sweets and snacks that can be delivered right to your door.

9. Dairy Products and Substitutes

Paneer (Indian cottage cheese) is a versatile ingredient used in numerous Indian dishes like palak paneer and shahi paneer. Yogurt or curd is another staple, often used in marinades, curries, or simply enjoyed as a side dish. If you prefer dairy alternatives, opt for coconut milk or almond-based yogurt.

Storage Advice: Look for shelf-stable options if you don’t have easy access to fresh dairy products.

10. Specialty Ingredients

Some Indian recipes call for unique ingredients like tamarind paste, jaggery (unrefined cane sugar), or rose water. These specialty items add authenticity and a traditional touch to your cooking. Keep them handy to experiment with a variety of Indian dishes.

Exploration Tip: Ordering these online is often easier than finding them at your local store, especially in the USA.

Why Ordering Online is a Game-Changer

Best With: Serve with spicy onion chutney or tomato chutney for an added kick.

Fun Fact: In some restaurants, paper dosas can be over a meter long!

4. Neer Dosa: The Soft and Delicate Delight

It’s perfect for those looking for a nutritious yet delicious dosa alternative.

Healthy Twist: A great option for health-conscious eaters looking for a high-protein meal.

6. Set Dosa: The Soft and Fluffy Dosa Stack

Set Dosa is a softer, thicker version of the traditional dosa, typically served in a set of three smaller dosas. It’s fluffy and spongy, with a slightly tangy taste due to the fermentation process. Set dosas are usually served with vegetable saagu (a mildly spiced vegetable curry) or chutney, making it a filling and satisfying meal.

Perfect For: Those who love a softer texture with a side of creamy or curry-based accompaniments.

7. Onion Dosa: The Spicy, Flavor-Packed Treat

For a burst of flavor, Onion Dosa is a fantastic choice. This dosa variation involves finely chopped onions, green chilies, and sometimes cilantro sprinkled over the dosa as it cooks. The result is a spicy, savory twist that adds a delicious crunch and a punch of flavor to every bite.

8. Cheese Dosa: The Ultimate Fusion

For those who love a cheesy twist on their traditional dosa, the Cheese Dosa is a modern fusion favorite!

Best With: Serve with a side of ketchup or mint chutney for an extra zing.

9. Ghee Roast Dosa: Rich and Buttery Indulgence

It is then bathed on top with a thick syrup that has been simmered with orange peel.

·      375 ml / 1.5 cups Water

·      300 gr. / 10.5 oz / 1.35 cups Sugar

·      1 Cinnamon stick

·      One Orange peel

·      1.5 tbsp. / 22 ml Greek Thyme Honey

 Ingredients for the Pie:

·      3 Oranges

·      Zest from 1 Orange

·      3 large Eggs @ room temp.                     

·      200 gr. / 7 oz / almost 1 cup Sugar

·      275 gr. / 9.75 oz / 2.2 cups Self-rising Flour (or fine semolina)

·      200 gr. / 7 oz / 0.85 cup Greek Strained Yoghurt 5% fat

·      8 gr. / 0.28 oz / 2 tsp. Vanilla sugar

METHOD:

A.    Prepare the syrup earlier:

1.     Turn on the heat to high. In a saucepan, combine sugar and water.

2.     Add the cinnamon stick, orange peel and honey. Reduce heat, bring to a boil and regularly stir gently until syrup becomes translucent.

3.     Then let syrup simmer for 5' extra, stirring it every minute.

4.     Turn off the heat and let syrup cool down completely.

5.     TIP: Syrup must be at room temperature when you pour it over the hot orange pie.

 

B.    Prepare the pie batter:

6.     Wash and peel the 3 oranges. Cut them into cubes.

7.     Place them into a strong blender and beat them for 30"-1' or until they turn into a thick pulp. Reserve.

8.     Break the 3 eggs in the bowl of a strong mixer with the flat beater attachment. Add also the sugar and vanilla sugar.

9.     Start beating them in high speed for 5'-10' or until they turn into a thick, fluffy, off-white cream.

10.  Reduce speed, adding the orange zest and yoghurt and continue beating until combined.

11.  Next start gradually adding the flour (or fine semolina) spoon-by-spoon and continue beating until batter is homogenized.

12.  FYI you could use either Flour or Semolina. If using semolina, Portokalopita will have a grainier texture that with flour; both wonderful, I must add.

13.  Lastly, pour in the orange pulp and beat just enough to incorporate it.

14.  Stop the mixer. Your batter is ready to be baked and looks a bit runny.

15.  Spray or brush some oil to grease a Pyrex dish of 23 x 35 cm/ 9 x 14 in. You could also use a smaller dish, if you want a thicker pie.

16.  Pour the batter in the tray using a soft spatula. Ready for baking.

 

C.     Baking instructions:

17.  Bake Portokalopita on the middle shelf of a preheated oven, both top and bottom heating elements on @180℃ / 350℉ for about 45' or until it becomes golden brown all around (depends on the oven).

18.  After 45' check if pie is ready by inserting a knife in its center. It should come out clean. Remove it from the oven.

19.  Place it on a rack to cool down just a bit and using a sharp knife, cut throughout to ensure that syrup will go everywhere.

20.  While cake is still very hot, spoon half of the cooled syrup gradually and evenly over it.

21.  Wait for 5' and pour the remaining syrup on top (*you may end up not using all syrup).  

22.  Let the cake sit for at least 1 hour @ room temp before consumption, to allow the syrup to penetrate it.

 

D. Serving instructions and suggestions:

When Portokalopita cools down completely, cover the tray with plastic wrap and store in the fridge.

Ideally, Portokalopita is consumed the next day or the day after, when syrup is fully absorbed and all the flavors have been integrated.

Portokalopita can be consumed either cold from the fridge or at room temp. all year round.

In the summer months, it is served with a generous portion of Vanilla or Kaimaki Ice cream, making it one of the most favorite desserts in Greece.

...or add some sour cherries preserve on top of Kaimaki ice cream!!

With golden crust on the surface and a juicy, spongy heart enhanced with the fragrance and aromas of the sweet Greek oranges, you can see why it is considered a supreme golden dessert & a Finger licking perfection.

 

E. Storage info:

Leftover pie can be stored in the fridge-covered-for up to 1 week.

 

F. More Info about Greek Oranges:

* Oranges in Greek mythology:

In Greek mythology, oranges are mentioned for the first time in one of the 10 labours of Hercules. According to the legend, the King of Tiryns, Eurystheus instructed Hercules to bring him the apples of Hesperides, which grew up in the garden of the Gods. After many adventures, Hercules managed to cut 3 golden fruits by confronting the guardians of the garden, the nymphs Hesperides and the elderly dragon Ladon, a terrible serpent with 100 heads, and bringing them to Eurystheus.

Modern day Greek scholars believe that these "apples" were most probably oranges.

You can find this myth as a detail in a Mosaic -Apples of the Hesperides, 3rd cent. AD, found in Valencia. It is hosted in the National Archaeological Museum of Spain, Madrid.

 

* Production of oranges in Greece:

Today, in Greece, oranges are mainly grown in Laconia, Argolida and Arta. The annual production of oranges is around 900,000 tons, of which 350,000 are exported. Due to the region's mild and warm weather, Lakonia oranges mature faster than other varieties in the country and their juice is particularly sweet. Laconia is not only one of the country's major orange manufacturers with many local factories, but it is also the area in which oranges have dominated the local cuisine.

Visit the historical Sparti and breathtaking Monemvasia in Laconia. Witness oranges hanging in abundance on the trees!

Oranges are a good source of fiber and a rich source of vitamin C and folate, among many other beneficial nutrients.

ΜΑΓΕΙΡΕΜΑ ♨  ΒΑΘΜ. ΔΥΣΚΟΛΙΑΣ 👩‍🍳⃒

Σιρόπι: 5 min.                     Εύκολη

Πίτα: 45 min.

Η Πορτοκαλόπιτα είναι ένα υπέροχο γλυκό ταψιού, από τα αγαπημένα "Σιροπιαστά" που απλά πρέπει να δοκιμάσετε. Είναι μια ζουμερή και με γλυκιά γεύση πίτα, όπως τη ονομάζουμε, αν και θα μπορούσαμε να την ονομάσουμε και σιροπιαστό κέικ, φτιαγμένη με γέμιση από γιαούρτι και φρέσκο ​​πολτό από γλυκά πορτοκάλια.

Στη συνέχεια περιλούζεται με ένα παχύρρευστο σιρόπι που έχει σιγοβράσει με φλούδα πορτοκαλιού.

Η συγκεκριμένη συνταγή έρχεται σαν απλοποιημένη μέθοδος της φημισμένης Πορτοκαλόπιτας που φτιάχνεται με φύλλο, αλλά κι αυτή είναι εξίσου λαχταριστή!

Και όπως με όλες τις βήμα-βήμα συνταγές μου, απλώς ακολουθήστε τις οδηγίες μου, αν θέλετε 100% επιτυχία.

Κατάλληλη για χορτοφάγους.

 

ΥΛΙΚΑ

Υλικά για το σιρόπι:

• 375 ml / 1,5 φλ. Νερό

• 300 γρ. / 10,5 oz / 1,35 φλ. Ζάχαρη

• 1 ξυλάκι Κανέλας

• Μία φλούδα Πορτοκαλιού

• 1,5 κ.σ. / 22 ml Θυμαρίσιο Μέλι

Υλικά για την πίτα:

• 3 Πορτοκάλια

• Ξύσμα από 1 Πορτοκάλι

• 3 μεγάλα Αυγά @ θερμοκρασία δωματίου

• 200 γρ. / 7 oz / σχεδόν 1 φλ. Ζάχαρη

• 275 γρ. / 9,75 oz / 2,2 φλ. Αλεύρι που φουσκώνει μόνο του (ή σιμιγδάλι ψιλό)

• 200 γρ. / 7 oz / 0,85 φλ. στραγγιστό Γιαούρτι, πλήρες, 5% λιπαρά

• 8 γρ. / 0,28 oz / 2 κ.γ. Βανίλια σκόνη (βανιλίνη)

ΜΕΘΟΔΟΣ:

Α. Ετοιμάστε το σιρόπι νωρίτερα:

1. Ανάψτε τη φωτιά στο δυνατό. Σε ένα κατσαρόλι ανακατέψτε τη ζάχαρη και το νερό.

2. Προσθέστε το ξυλάκι κανέλας, τη φλούδα πορτοκαλιού και το μέλι. Χαμηλώστε τη φωτιά, αφήστε να πάρει μια βράση ανακατεύοντας τακτικά μέχρι το σιρόπι να γίνει διαυγές.

3. Στη συνέχεια αφήστε το σιρόπι να σιγοβράσει για 5' επιπλέον, ανακατεύοντας απαλά κάθε λεπτό.

4. Σβήστε τη φωτιά και αφήστε το σιρόπι να κρυώσει εντελώς.

5. ΣΥΜΒΟΥΛΗ: Το σιρόπι πρέπει να είναι σε θερμοκρασία δωματίου όταν το περιχύσετε πάνω στη πολύ ζεστή πορτοκαλόπιτα.

 

Β. Ετοιμάστε τη ζύμη για τη πίτα:

6. Πλύντε και ξεφλουδίστε τα 3 πορτοκάλια. Κόψτε τα σε κύβους.

7. Τοποθετήστε τα σε ένα δυνατό μπλέντερ και χτυπήστε τα για 30"-1' ή μέχρι να γίνουν ένας πηχτός πολτός.

8. Σπάστε τα 3 αυγά στο μπολ ενός δυνατού μίξερ με το εξάρτημα φτερό (κάπα). Προσθέστε επίσης τη ζάχαρη και τη βανίλια.

9. Αρχίστε να τα χτυπάτε σε δυνατή ταχύτητα για 5'-10' ή μέχρι να γίνουν μια πηχτή, ελαφρά κρεμ, αφράτη κρέμα.

10. Χαμηλώστε τη ταχύτητα προσθέτοντας το ξύσμα πορτοκαλιού και το γιαούρτι και συνεχίστε το χτύπημα μέχρι να ενωθούν.

11. Στη συνέχεια, αρχίστε να προσθέτετε σταδιακά κουταλιά-κουταλιά το αλεύρι (ή το ψιλό σιμιγδάλι) και συνεχίστε το χτύπημα μέχρι η ζύμη να ομογενοποιηθεί.

12. Πληροφοριακά μπορείτε να χρησιμοποιήσετε είτε αλεύρι ή σιμιγδάλι. Αν χρησιμοποιήσετε σιμιγδάλι, η Πορτοκαλόπιτα θα έχει πιο κοκκώδη υφή από αυτή με το αλεύρι. Και τα δύο πάντως είναι υπέροχα, πρέπει να προσθέσω.

13. Τέλος ρίξτε μέσα τον πολτό πορτοκαλιού και χτυπήστε μέχρι να ενσωματωθεί.

14. Σταματήστε το μίξερ. Η ζύμη σας είναι έτοιμη για ψήσιμο και φαίνεται κάπως ρευστή.

15. Ψεκάστε ή αλείψτε λίγο λάδι για να αλείψετε ένα ταψί Pyrex διαστάσεων 23 x 35 εκ. / 9 x 14 in. Μπορείτε επίσης να χρησιμοποιήσετε μικρότερο σκεύος, αν θέλετε πιο παχιά πίτα.

16. Χύστε τη ζύμη μέσα στο ταψί χρησιμοποιώντας μια μαλακή σπάτουλα (μαρίζα). Έτοιμη για ψήσιμο.

 

Γ. Οδηγίες ψησίματος:

17. Ψήστε την Πορτοκαλόπιτα στο μεσαίο ράφι ενός προθερμασμένου φούρνου, στις πάνω και κάτω αντιστάσεις στους @180℃ / 350℉ για περίπου 45' ή μέχρι να ροδίσει παντού (εξαρτάται από τον φούρνο).

18. Μετά από 45' τσεκάρετε αν η πίτα είναι έτοιμη μπήγοντας ένα μαχαίρι στο κέντρο της. Θα πρέπει να βγαίνει καθαρό. Βγάλτε τη από το φούρνο.

19. Τοποθετήστε τη στο πάγκο να κρυώσει λίγο και χρησιμοποιώντας ένα κοφτερό μαχαίρι, κόψτε τη μέχρι κάτω ώστε να βεβαιωθείτε ότι το σιρόπι θα τη ποτίσει παντού.

20. Όσο είναι ακόμα πολύ ζεστή, απλώστε το μισό από το κρύο σιρόπι σταδιακά και ομοιόμορφα.

21. Περιμένετε 5' και ρίξτε από πάνω το υπόλοιπο σιρόπι (*μπορεί να καταλήξετε να μην χρησιμοποιήσετε όλο το σιρόπι).

22. Αφήστε τη Πορτοκαλόπιτα να κάτσει για τουλάχιστον 1 ώρα σε θερμοκρασία δωματίου πριν τη καταναλώσετε, για να μπορέσει το σιρόπι να διαπεράσει μέχρι μέσα.

 Δ. Οδηγίες και προτάσεις σερβιρίσματος:

Μόλις η Πορτοκαλόπιτα κρυώσει εντελώς, σκεπάστε το ταψί με πλαστική μεμβράνη και φυλάξτε τη στο ψυγείο.

Ιδανικά, η Πορτοκαλόπιτα καταναλώνεται την επόμενη ή την μεθεπόμενη μέρα, όταν το σιρόπι έχει απορροφηθεί πλήρως και έχουν ενσωματωθεί όλες οι γεύσεις.

Η Πορτοκαλόπιτα μπορεί να καταναλωθεί είτε κρύα από το ψυγείο ή σε θερμοκρασία δωματίου όλο το χρόνο.

Τους καλοκαιρινούς μήνες σερβίρεται με μια γενναιόδωρη μερίδα Παγωτό Βανίλια ή Καϊμάκι, καθιστώντας την ένα από τα πιο αγαπημένα γλυκά στην Ελλάδα.

...ή προσθέστε λίγο γλυκό κουταλιού βύσσινο πάνω από το παγωτό Καϊμάκι!!

Με χρυσή κρούστα στην επιφάνεια και ζουμερή, σπογγώδη καρδιά εμποτισμένη με τα αρώματα των γλυκών πορτοκαλιών, μπορείτε να καταλάβετε γιατί θεωρείται το υπέρτατο χρυσαφένιο γλύκισμα, που θα γλύφετε τα δάκτυλα σας!

 

Ε. Πληροφορίες φύλαξης:

Η πίτα που περίσσεψε μπορεί να φυλαχτεί στο ψυγείο σκεπασμένη-για έως και 1 εβδομάδα.

 

Ζ. Περισσότερες πληροφορίες για τα Ελληνικά πορτοκάλια:

* Τα πορτοκάλια στην ελληνική μυθολογία:

Στην ελληνική μυθολογία, τα πορτοκάλια αναφέρονται για πρώτη φορά σε έναν από τους 10 Άθλους του Ηρακλή. Σύμφωνα με το μύθο, ο βασιλιάς των Τιράνων, ο Ευρύσθεος έδωσε εντολή στον Ηρακλή να του φέρει τα μήλα των Εσπερίδων που μεγάλωναν στον κήπο των Θεών. Μετά από πολλές περιπέτειες, ο Ηρακλής κατάφερε να κόψει 3 χρυσά φρούτα αντιμετωπίζοντας τους κηδεμόνες του κήπου, τις νύμφες Εσπερίδες και τον δράκο Λάδωνα, ένα φοβερό φίδι με 100 κεφάλια και το έφερε στον Ευρυσθέα.

Οι σύγχρονοι Έλληνες μελετητές πιστεύουν ότι αυτά τα «μήλα» ήταν πιθανότατα πορτοκάλια.

Μπορείτε να βρείτε αυτόν τον μύθο ως λεπτομέρεια σε ένα Μωσαϊκό-Εσπερίδες, 3ος αι. AD, που βρέθηκε στη Βαλένθια. Φιλοξενείται στο Εθνικό Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο της Ισπανίας, στη Μαδρίτη.

 

* Παραγωγή πορτοκαλιών στην Ελλάδα:

Σήμερα, στην Ελλάδα, τα πορτοκάλια καλλιεργούνται κυρίως στη Λακωνία, την Αργολίδα και την Άρτα. Η ετήσια παραγωγή πορτοκαλιών είναι περίπου 900.000 τόνοι, εκ των οποίων 350.000 εξάγονται. Λόγω των ήπιων και θερμών καιρικών συνθηκών της περιοχής, τα πορτοκάλια Λακωνίας ωριμάζουν γρηγορότερα από άλλες ποικιλίες της χώρας και ο χυμός τους είναι ιδιαίτερα γλυκός. Η Λακωνία δεν είναι μόνο ένας από τους μεγαλύτερους παραγωγούς πορτοκαλιών της χώρας με πολλά τοπικά εργοστάσια, αλλά είναι και η περιοχή στην οποία τα πορτοκάλια έχουν κυριαρχήσει στην τοπική κουζίνα.

Επισκεφθείτε την ιστορική Σπάρτη και την εκπληκτική Μονεμβασιά στη Λακωνία. Θα γίνετε οι ίδιοι μάρτυρες των αναρίθμητων πορτοκαλιών που κρέμονται σε αφθονία από τα δέντρα!

Τα πορτοκάλια είναι μια καλή πηγή φυτικών ινών και μια πλούσια πηγή βιταμίνης C και φυλλικού οξέος, μεταξύ πολλών άλλων ευεργετικών θρεπτικών συστατικών.
