Giouvetsi este o mâncare grecească clasică și reconfortantă la cuptor, pregătită cu paste orzo fragede, vinete rumenite, ardei kapia dulci și sos bogat de roșii cu ierburi mediteraneene, gratinată cu brânză feta cremoasă.
Preparation method
Preparing the vegetables and base
Preheat the oven to 190°C (medium to high heat).
Wash the eggplants and cut them into 2 cm cubes. Cut the red kapia peppers into strips or bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or deep pan, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Chef's tip
If you notice the orzo pasta absorbing the liquid too quickly in the oven before it is fully cooked, you can add another 50-100 ml of warm broth or hot water around the edges of the dish.
For a perfect authentic Greek touch, you can add a pinch of ground cinnamon or a few pitted Kalamata olives to the tomato sauce.
