Kagianas with Smoked Pork
"Kagianas with Smoked Pork I have a beautiful skillet from Mani. It's a piece of pork that goes perfectly with my wine now that my friends have gathered for some snacks! So, without delay, one person starts peeling the tomatoes for easy removal, another person cuts the pork, the third person takes care of the eggs (the beating part!), and I handle the onion... okay, the tasks are divided... not because it's difficult to make, but because of the fun and endless conversations in the kitchen that remind us of so many things. And while talking, one thing leads to another; we might start with the onion and end up discussing the theory of the universe! Forget about the petty squabbles... whatever we grab and place on the counter becomes incomplete! One person takes a bite, another person takes a bite... we eat more in the kitchen while talking, and of course, the wine from the living room has made its way into the kitchen. How is it possible that such a small kitchen (unfortunately, I don't have a large kitchen) can accommodate so many people, allow us to work, and be okay, yet when I'm alone, I struggle with the counter and the utensils that I have to move... just to create space? INEXPLICABLE! Oh, I almost forgot to grate a little cheese. Some want cheese, others don't. But I'll definitely grate some smoked Metsovone cheese that I love, as you know... (I always incorporate it into my recipes... it's just divine!!) Anyway... let's move on to our dish, because if I delay any longer... I won't have anything to present!
Our Ingredients:
200g smoked pork
3 eggs
1 dry onion,
finely chopped
2 tomatoes, peeled and finely chopped
A little olive oil
Salt and pepper
