#xorta

“A single strand of spider's weave  Just dancing in the sun Please don't turn around and leave You are my only one Compromise is made out of peace But history's made out of violence After the war of the worlds has ceased All that's left is the deafening silence” 

Αρκεσίνη, Amorgos, Greece, 2017

Sonchus asper, known as zoxos in Greek, growing wild on the sidewalk. This is a very popular "xorto" dish here. It is quite bitter, and thus good for the liver. Just harvest the leaves, wash them and steam them for 10 minutes. Serve with salt, lemon juice and olive oil. Yummy! Learn more about our online herbalism courses.

Καθαρίζουµε και πλένουµε τα καλαµαράκια. Τα βάζουµε στην κατσαρόλα χωρίς νερό, γιατί θα βγάλουν το δικό τους. Όταν το πιουν ολοκληρωτικά, ρίχνουµε το ελαιόλαδο, τα κρεµµύδια και τα σκόρδα χοντροκοµµένα καθώς και τον άνηθο. Προσθέτουµε λίγο νερό, αφήνουµε να πάρουν µερικές βράσεις και ρίχνουµε στην κατσαρόλα τα χόρτα τα οποία έχουµε ζεµατίσει µε βραστό νερό. Ρίχνουµε στη συνέχεια τον χυµό των λεµονιών ή την ντοµάτα και πιπέρι και αφήνουµε το φαγητό να βράσει µέχρι να πιει όλα τα υγρά.
