Stuffed Squids

Ingredients:
1 kilo small squids
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped dill
1 tablespoon tomato paste or lemon juice
1 cup oil
Rice (as needed)
Salt, pepper

Instructions:
Wash and clean the squids. Remove their heads and cut in to small pieces. Put the squids in boiling water for 10 minutes just to become smoother. Put them in a colander to drain. Saute the onion and garlic with the oil of the half cup. Then, add the heads of the squids, chopped, the parsley, the dill, salt, pepper and the tomato paste (if you prefer it with tomato). After all these ingredients boil, add the rice (as much as you estimate that it takes to fill the squid, the half of it). Turn them at each side two or three times and add half a cup water. When the water is absorbed, remove from the heat and stuff the squids. You can hold the opening of the squids with a toothpick. Then, spread them in a wide pot. Drizzle the squids with the remaining oil and one cup water. Simmer, until they are left with their oil. At the end add the lemon juice, if you did not use tomato paste.

Athonite Fish Soup

Clean and wash the fish and vegetables. Boil them in 1.5 litre of water except for the dill. As soon as they are well boiled, separate all the vegetables and mix them by  putting  them in a blender, except for the peppers  which must be thrown away. Strain the fish and put the clean juice in a pot.

Chocolate Truffles Without Oil

Chocolate Truffles Without Oil

We boil the sugar with the water. We put the rest of the ingredients in a big bowl, we mix them  and add the syrup. We mix well so that it can be a mixture, easy to knead. In a plate, we pour a little cognac and wet our hands in it, so that they won’t get stuck when we knead. We shape the cake as we want, either round or oblong. We melt the cooking chocolate in a bain marie and steep the truffles in it, by using a fork. We put a piece of greaseproof paper in a baking pan and place the truffles on it. We put each truffle in a separate paper case suitable for truffles. We keep them either in the fridge or in the refrigerator.
