Αγκινάρες Μαρινάτες σε Κρασί, Ελαιόλαδο, Λεμόνι και Σκόρδο

Σε τούτη τη συνταγή από την Τήνο, η ξινουλή σάλτσα συμπληρώνει τη γλύκα της αγκινάρας. Το πιάτο παραδοσιακά μαγειρεύεται μαζί με φρέσκα κουκιά. Σερβίρετε σαν ορεκτικό ή συνοδευτικό σε ψητό αρνί, κότα ή ψάρι. Διατηρείται καλά στο ψυγείο για μιά βδομάδα.

Pink Fermented Cabbage

Far from the heavy, fowl-smelling sauerkraut, this is a vividly-colored, tangy-fruity cabbage that you can eat on its own, as part of a meze spread, or add it to any of your winter or spring salads.

We love it so much, that we cannot do without it and as Sandor Ellix Katz suggests, start a new batch before you finish the old one (see NOTE).

TAHINOPITES: Tahini, Cinnamon, and Walnut Cookies, in Lemon Syrup

Traditionally made in Cyprus before Easter, during the spring Lent – when all foods deriving from animals are prohibited – tahinopites are 6-7-inch round, syrupy breads, coiled and stuffed with a tahini mixture. As the coiled tahinopites bake, the thin layer of dough cracks and the stuffing oozes out, caramelizing; these crunchy, darkened, sugary tahini bits are the best bites.

Why not have more of the best parts of the pie? I decided to shape the dough differently in order to increase the caramelized area. The results are bite-size, cookie-like tahinopites — a kind of Eastern Mediterranean Cinnamon Rolls. It is important to get the highest quality tahini paste for these cookies. They taste best made a day in advance.  As they cool, they absorb and fully incorporate the lemony syrup.
