Spicy Trahanas With Carrots and PDO Kasseri

Elena Kats-Chernin, “Green Leaf” Prelude (version for piano trio)

Born in 1957, Elena Kats-Chernin is a cosmopolitan composer, whose music reaches millions of listeners. The catalogue of her works includes an astonishingly wide range of genres. “Green Leaf” is an overture to her famous ballet “Wild Swans”. She is also a sensitive artist to environmental issues. Her “Symphonia Eluvium” commemorates the devastating floods in Queensland, Australia (2011).

Sustainable cooking attempt. I boiled my sour trahanas (Greek pasta of wheat flour and milk) from Evia in a broth made with raw vegetable scraps. I usually keep them in a zip lock bag in my freezer. Please remember, food should not be wasted; only transformed. Natural flavour boosters: turmeric, smoked paprika, chili peppers, allspice, cardamom. Serving suggestion: finely chopped fresh thyme, small cubes of organic kasseri (PDO) from the Vale of Tempi.
