Marinated Fish (Savoro)

Ingredients:
1 kilo of small fish (bogue, pandora, mackerel, mullet)
½ glass of oil
¼ glass of vinegar or less (it depends on how tangy the vinegar is)
¼ glass of water
1 - 1½ spoonful of flour
A little bit of salt
Black pepper or hot red pepper
2-3 peeled cloves of chopped garlic
2 red crashed and melted tomatoes
2 leaves of laurel
1 small branch of rosemary
¼ glass of water
A little tomato paste

Instructions:
Fry the fish and then put them in a deep big plate. In a clean pan, pour oil and when it reaches high temperature, pour the flour and mix it until it is browned. Add the vinegar, the water, the garlic, the laurel, the salt, the crashed tomatoes and the rosemary. Mix it until the sauce gets curdy, in a low temperature. Last but not least, add the pepper. When it thickens, pour it on the fish.

Notes:
a) In the same way, you can fry salted Cod.
b) You can sauté the garlic with the flour, so it can brown.

Wines of Mount Athos: the Secret behind Monastery Wine...since the 10th century!

Wine, as a blessed commodity, plays a predominant role in the life of the Athonite monasteries. The founder of the monastic state of Mount Athos, Saint Athanasius the Athonite, decreed that each monastery should have its own vineyards. Thus, since the 10th century, the founders of the monasteries, recognizing the value of wine, have numerous vineyards in their monastic properties. On Mount Athos, there were no large areas for grain, due to the geographical difficulty and the wildness of the place. However, the microclimate of Mount Athos as well as its special vineyards, are key factors for a distinct wine production, unique throughout the Balkan Peninsula and the Northern Aegean. Even today, a number of monks from each monastery are in charge of the cultivation of vineyards and the production of wine.
