Cheese Pie with Peppers

Ingredients:
500 g. of phyllo
½ tea cup of butter
750 g. of milk
1 glass of semolina
6 eggs
750 g. of feta cheese
1 kilo of peppers
5-6 tomatoes
Salt, pepper
200 g. of fresh butter (to spread it on the phyllo)
1 glass of milk

 

Instructions:
In a pot, put the oil and the semolina. Put the pot in medium heat and mix continuously, until the mixture is curdy enough. As soon as this cream is cold, beat the eggs and add them to the cream. Then, add the grated cheese and the pepper. Fry the peppers for a while and then remove their seeds and cut them in small pieces. Sauté the butter and the sliced tomatoes. Lay half of the phyllos gently on the baking pan and butter each one with a brush. Spread the cheese mixture on the phyllo and put the peppers and the tomatoes on the top of it. Cover the pie with the rest of the phyllo and sprinkle the last phyllo with a little milk. Bake the pie in 200 degrees.

The Value of Wine in Orthodox Religion: Old & New Testament

As we know from the writings in the Old Testament, wine acquired distinctive symbolism. After the flood, Noah planted and managed to create his own vineyard. In Exodus, God gave a promise to bless three significant goods for human life: bread, water and wine. The lands and climate in the regions of Hebron and Palestine were conducive for the cultivation of vineyards. Viticulture flourished in a short time and gained great demand, as people cultivated their vines to produce the blessed wine. David hymns wine through his psalms, saying: "And wine that makes glad the heart of man..." (Psalm 104:15) and "You have put gladness in my heart, More than in the season that their grain and wine increased" (Psalm 4:7).
