Things In The Bible Punishable By Death

Kreatotourta (Hania Easter pie)

Risen Christ and Merry Christmas to all!

guess that most lamb bought more than they ate the end (even This year it seems ...). And we have leftover or raw or roast lamb in our fridge. The proposal is therefore, exploitation of a Cretan κρεατόπιτα, γνωστή στο κρητικό εδεσματολόγιο σαν κρεατότουρτα Χανίων. Ας πάμε λοιπόν δυτικά σήμερα!

Συνηθίζεται το Πάσχα ,προφανώς για να αξιοποιείται το αρνί που μας περισσεύει, ωμό ή βρασμένο. Η ονομασία «τούρτα» χρησιμοποιείται σε πολλά νησιά για κάποιες πίτες. Π.χ., στη Σύμη, στην Αλόννησο και αλλού, τούρτες Say some with cheese pies made with pastry petit point and bake in the oven. Our cake is a delicious pie with lamb or goat lots of meat and cheese.

As is known, Crete roasting lamb only in recent decades. Traditional Cretan Easter table included opposite, oven baked (in various ways), and boiled lamb. Hania The cake is basically boiled with lamb, so to boil over or we have left over. I guess it would not be bad with grilled or roast lamb that we have left over, but I never make that.

Όπως όλες οι παραδοσιακές συνταγές, η συνταγή της κρεατότουρτας συναντάται σε διάφορες παραλλαγές. Κάθε σπίτι έχει και τη δική του συνταγή για ζύμη, άλλοτε with yeast or yeast and sometimes soda or baking powder (the latest).

common place but all the recipes are mixed with Cretan lamb cheese and even Hanioti. Also, most recipes contain stack the filling or even stakovoutyro. This year I made the pie with one of my recipes petit point for dough (I have two or three recipes yeast dough and other so simple, while the filling is not significant variations or specific proportions).

Materials:


A. Dough


60 grams fresh yeast or 3 dry bags.
½ cup lukewarm water
½ cup oil
2 tablespoons butter milk (stakovoutyro butter or other good quality)
2 eggs
1 yoghurt
1 teaspoon salt Cut
½ teaspoon pepper
1 cup broth by boiling meat (or meat stock we have of another use, or water)
1 kg flour (and a little more if needed)


B. Filling:


1 - 1.5 kg lamb or goat meat (weighed raw. The amount has to do with how much psachnakia is part of the meat we)
1 cup stack (optional) or 1-2 tablespoons στακοβούτυρο ή άλλο βούτυρο γάλακτος. 
½ κιλό μυζήθρα γλυκιά (αθότυρο)
½ κιλό μυζήθρα ξινή
1 κούπα γραβιέρα Κρήτης κομμένη σε κύβους
Αλάτι
Pepper
Cinnamon (optional)
¾ cup beef broth.
2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint.


For the topping:


1 κρόκο αυγού αραιωμένο με μια κουταλιά νερό
Σουσάμι αποφλοιωμένο


Επί το έργον:

Πλένουμε το κρέας, το βάζουμε σε κατσαρόλα με νερό που να το σκεπάζει ίσα ίσα και λίγο αλάτι και το βάζουμε να βράσει. Όταν αρχίσει να αφρίζει αφαορούμε τον αφρό με τρυπητή κουτάλα, χαμηλώνουμε τη θερμοκρασία in medium and let simmer until it becomes too soft. The retrieved from the water, let it cool and Bone. Cut into small pieces and the season. Strain the broth does not have the bone and set aside. If the meat is from our leftovers, and attend the Bone να έχουμε 4-5 κούπες ψαχνάκια (τουλάχιστον), για την ποσότητα της ζύμης που γράφω.

Αν χρησιμοποιήσουμε νωπή μαγιά, τη διαλύουμε στη μισή κούπα water with a tablespoon of flour and let rise. This anepiasma say as I said before. If you use dry yeast, simply put it in a cup με αλεύρι. Στο μίξερ ή στο χέρι κτυπάμε το λάδι με τα αυγά, το βούτυρο και το γιαούρτι. Προσθέτουμε το αλατοπίπερο και λίγο ζωμό από το κρέας (τη ½ κούπα αρχικά). Ανακατεύουμε and add the yeast solution or cup flour to dry. Then slowly the remaining flour as they have a soft dough that does not stick to hands or light sticks. If necessary, add more broth or more flour.

Let it ride (doubled in volume in 1-2 hours depending on temperature ) To descend to knead and divide into two parts, one slightly smaller than the other. Roll out the larger sheet and poured into a tray number 34 (Ie, diameter 34 cm), well-oiled. It should be a little odd from the side.

Spread half the filling ingredients as follows:
xinomyzithra and sweet cream cheese scattered stack tablespoons here and there, mint. From top to pour over the meat. Put the remaining cheese, the stack (if use) and the remaining mint.

the top, pour broth around meat is not dry stuffing us. Cover with the remaining dough on a sheet and opened connecting the two sheets to close the filling inside hatched their wish keep a piece of dough and make patterns and some cuts in stalemate.

Let rise, brush with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in preheated at 180 degrees oven for 60 to 70 minutes. The cover with baking paper after the first half hour.

should get a chrysokafeti (!) Color. I I put in the middle rack of the oven and you want cover for it so early. If you put it on first down, you may need to cover 50 minutes.

Serve warm or at room temperature with a green salad is a meal. Of course it is very nice and buffet.

1) Το  τυρί που χρησιμοποιούν οι χανιώτες σ’ αυτήν την πίτα είναι η λεγόμενη «μαλάκα» που όμως πολύ δύσκολα το βρίσκουμε ακόμη we in East Kriti.Deite here for the Cretan cheese presentation by Mamalakis. The combination of cheeses that I give a very good result.
2) When anepiano yeast, always put half a teaspoonful of sugar even if you do not write the prescription. The very helpful to "wake up".
3) The quantity of cheese the filling may be higher. But a pie quite rich in fat that the meat and try not to exaggerate ...
4) The mint goes well with our fresh soft cheese. Do not miss.
5) We can make two small pies with this rather than one large dose. (What I did this time). Or we can do half dosi.Vgainei a standard Pyrex enough for family use.
6) If the lamb is from our surplus and we have broth, put the dough plain refreshing water and filling a little gravy made with vegetables cube (then of course watch the amount of salt).
