Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes; cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool and chop. Cut the onion into thin slices and add it to the potatoes. In a large bowl, mix together the garlic, oil, vinegar and mustard. Add potatoes, toss to evenly coat and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

FOR TART:

Combine powdered sugar, vanilla, pinch of salt, butter and lemon scrapings in the bowl of a food processor. Add the eggs and process until mixture become creamy. Mix the flour with baking powder. Add the flour and the milk to the mixture, by turns. With your fingers, press dough into a buttered tart pan and add the blueberries on the top.  Bake for 45 minutes or until browned. Let cool completely and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

roasted pork with potatoes  (Messini/ Greece)

 Ingredients (serves 10-12)
1 pork without the head (aprox. 5 kg)
1 large baking pan, 10 cm height
4 wooden chocks  (8 cm height, 10 cm width  

    and length proportional to the width of the

    baking pan)
1 skewer (wooden, if possible)
string or stainless wire
salt, oregano, garlic cloves

 

 

Preparation:

Rub the pork belly with salt and origan (from the inside). Stick into each leg (front and back ones) 2 gloves of garlic. Tie the pork on the spit (neck and back legs) and put it on the chocks, so that it doesn’t touch the baking pan, leaving room beneath. Put the pork into the oven and bake for 4-5 hours. Turn to a higher temperature and leave for another 2 hours approximately, so that the skin becomes crusty. Check if it is done, by sticking a knife or fork into one of the legs. Served with potatoes (baked in the oven with oregano). Try to bake them in the baking pan on suet for a better taste.
