As I rewrite recipes the snails could fill an entire book. One of the most common and delicious ways to wheat is broken (which we call thick) or rice.
In addition, this dish is typical of healthy Cretan food. The high quality protein and snails good fats they contain, combined with fiber and non-processed carbohydrates that contain wheat, are an ideal combination. When the snails are cooked in the pot, we always do the procedure I will describe. The same procedure and spring sakasmenous and summer gyreftous snails.
Materials:
30-40 sakasmenous snails (snails)
1 onion
3 / 4 - 1 cup oil
2 cups thick (or rice or nychaki Carolina)
6 cups water
1 -1,5 cup crushed tomatoes or equivalent amount of canned tomatoes
Salt Pepper
at work:
Put water in a saucepan with a teaspoon of salt to a boil and add the snails After looking as if I live here , and clean the shells with a knife. When you boil five to ten minutes, pour the cold water and wash kala.Prepei to remove the membranes, secretions, etc., and stay clean.
a pot chop the onion and fry lightly with oil. Add the snails and turning a couple of rides to get everyone a little oil. With a spoon them onto a plate making sure to get, as far as possible, onion. This process is always done when cooking snails in casserole.
Add the tomatoes and simmer for a while. Five or ten minutes is enough because it will boil and the remaining water and ylika.Prosthetoume when boil add the fat. Stir, add salt and when it resumes boiling lower the eye and let it happen.
Comments:
1) If you make a ρύζι, θα χρησιμοποιήσουμε μόνο 5 κούπες νερό και ο χρόνος βρασμού θα είναι λιγότερος.
2) Πολλές φορές μαζί με την ντομάτα βάζουμε μια πατάτα ή a pepper or two diced artichokes, or a combination thereof (especially in the summer anyway zucchini or eggplant). They give color and flavor in plate.
3) The food can be done without snails. The fried onion, add chopped vegetables and tomato continue as above.
4) O number is indicative of snails! If we like we can put more. Typically the couplet says:
His thick each spoonful
want and chochlio chi
like every girl
dear chi ....
