All things Greek...
I am celebrating all things Greek in readiness for the publication of The Greek's Seven Day Seduction in the UK in August
I love the heroine in this book in particular, because she boldly goes where no sensible woman should- into an Alpha's bed- as well as into the line of an all-male dance in an incredibly traditional Greek village- just the type of faux pas at which I excel!
To get us started I thought I'd give you the recipe for my absolutely favourite Greek soup- Avgolemono... basically, its chicken soup with egg lemon and rice- delicious!!!
When Sara was poorly in a particularly Dickensian hospital years back, I used to smuggle it in and spoon feed her surreptitiously. Now its on the 'must have' menu for this family!
Enjoy!!!
Two and a half pints of good chicken stock (or cubes- come on, girls, we all cheat)
2 oz short, squishy pudding rice
2 Eggs
Juice of about three lemons
Salt and Pepper
Method: Bring your seasoned stock to a rolling boil, add rice and cook for 15 mins until soft.
Whisk eggs and lemon juice together until frothy.
Lower heat. Add egg mixture a ladle-full at a time- DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL OR THE MIXTURE WILL SEPARATE.
Soup should thicken slightly.
Taste and season if necessary.
Ladle into individual bowls and garnish with fresh, chopped parsley.
Next: Find Alpha. Provide him with a spoon- and open your mouth.
(Purring optional)
