Spaghetti with Sea Urchin Sauce

Wash cauliflower and cut into large crests. Put in the tassel. Wash well the orange, cut into thin horizontal slices along with the skin and spread between cauliflowers. Cut celery and one carrot into slices and add them in the tassel. Prepare, in a bowl, the sauce. Put the tomato juice, the potatoes, the carrots, the apple, oil, salt and half a teaspoon of sugar in a blender. Pour the sauce on top of the cauliflowers and add water, under the height of the cauliflowers. Boil over low heat and stir the pot occasionally.

We beat the oil with the sugar. We dilute the bicarbonate soda and the baking powder in the cognac and  pour this mixture in the oil and the sugar. We add the rest of the ingredients ( except for the flour ) and mix them well. We pour the  flour little by little ( perhaps  not all of it )  and knead until the dough doesn’t get stuck on our hands. We shape the honey cakes, put them in an oiled baking pan and bake them in a medium temperature for half an hour. We prepare the syrup and let  it be cold. As soon as we remove the honey cakes from the oven, we dip them in the syrup and put them in a platter. We sprinkle them with ground walnut pith.

From ancient times to nowdays, honey has been an integral part of both human nutrition and therapeutic methods. There are many types of it and all of them have priceless nutritional and energy value. Many types of honey are produced on Mount Athos, some of which are not so well known in Greece.
