Mushroom Soup

Ingredients:
600 g. fresh mushrooms or a big tin of mushrooms
1 bunch of chopped spring onions
2 spoons of chopped dill
1 medium chopped lettuce
Some raw chopped spinach (optional)
Juice of 2 lemons
4 cups of water
4 spoons of tahini
1 cup of oil, salt

 

Instructions:
Cut the mushrooms in two if they are large, wash them or drain them if we use mushrooms from a tin. Put them in a pan with oil and sauté them well until they get all their water out. Then, add some spinach and lettuce, if we like, as well as the onions and mix them well. Pour the water and some salt and let them boil. Just before they are totally boiled, add the dill. Stir and remove from heat. Put the pan aside to cool. Put the tahini in a bowl. Pour slowly the lemon juice into the bowl with the tahini and whisk or use the blender. Continue whipping and add some of the soup’s broth. When the tahini gets white, put it into the pan. Stir well and serve. If you want to reheat the soup, do that over low heat as the tahini may fall apart. Alternatively, you can use an egg instead of the tahini.

Eldress Galaktia of Crete: Prayer to our Lord

Eldress Galaktia of Crete: Prayer to our Lord

«Lord, grant me only humility and silence. I ask nothing else from You. Humility births love for all Your creations. I know that I am the greatest sinner, and no one else in the universe has embittered You as much as I, the despicable one, have. Help me to live with this every day. Do not let the devil fool me into thinking I am something when I am nothing. Grant me only to feel how sinner I am and help me to follow Your commandments to find mercy from Your countless love. Do not let me despair because of my sins but let me rejoice every day because You have mercy on me and will save me because You are compassionate. Do not let me have evil thoughts or judge my fellow human beings. I am to blame for them, and since I am the cause of their sin, I must only judge myself. Lord, Lord, do not deprive me of the river of Your divine mercy. Amen!».
