Last Saturday I cooked pastitsio for lunch .... It likes to all my family ....
But it takes about one hour to cook .....
And many -many utensils for cleaning ...
But look the result ....Really it was yummy !!!
Once piece for me but the men ate two or three pieces each ....
And these wild herbs I pick up from our garden . !!!
For dinner I had only three pieces ......
Another time I 'll cook mussaca ....one of our ethnic plate !!!
Have a nice week !!!!
The green stuff you picked from your garden is dandelion (we call it "cicorie selvatiche" in Italian-wild chicory) and I love it! I sometimes pick it from my garden and cook it, but in Italy you buy it in large quantities from greengrocers. I can eat stucks of it! It's delicious!

You have right !!! I looked to my very old dictionary (from copyright 1964 !!!!!)and yes , they are dandelion !!!! Thank you Anna, I add a new word to my poor English !! We eat only from my garden because we are not use manure ? ( Is this correct?) Only compost which we make alone ..
ΔιαγραφήGood Day ,Olympia
This is one of my family's favourite meals. My son loves it and I often cook it for our family dinner when we come together every two weeks. Your cooking looks delicious! It was interesting to read about the wild herbs. When Anna said they are dandelions, it was a surprise. I have been pulling them out of my garden yesterday and put them in the waste bin! Next time I should keep them. Perhaps you can tell us how to cook them.
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήThat looks very delicious! I have heard of it but never tried it. I have just googled the recipe because who knows... I am looking forward to your moussaka!!! Thanks for your comment! No I did not buy anything I was so busy taking the photographs that I forgot... a reason to go back! x Christa

Hello Olympia!
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήWhen I commented about your pastitsio, I got it mixed with pasticcio. They look very like each other. Now I will try making your recipe for pastitsio. I can find the recipe from Keity's blog:)

Hello Olympia! I came over for a visit from Cotton Peony and so glad I did! Your dish of pastitsia looks like something we would enjoy very much. The greens are very similar to wild greens my Dad used to pick. In the springtime he believed eating them would improve our health. I hated them as a kid, but love them now! Come visit me in Arkansas on Granny Mountain...
