O Tzitzikas ki o Mermigas, Athens

Each visit to Greece, I have a meal at the restaurant known in English as the Cicada and the Ant (O Tzitzikas ki o Merigmas).

A quaint little restaurant very close to the Syntagma Square, and is a very popular restaurant with locals and can be hard to get a table at lunch time.

It is not the traditional taverna fare, but a modern style using freshest ingredients sourced from around the country. Crete ingredients feature quite strongly on the menu.

One of the signature dishes is the Tzitzikas salad which as 11 salad vegetables, and a creamy cheese a little like ricotta in texture and drizzle with mustard vinaigrette made withe honey. It is delicious.

E who has no issues with gluten, was very taken with his chicken dish that was served on ina Kataifi pastry basket and had a sauce made from Mastika. Mastika is a unique ingredient from the island of Chios and has a very distinct flavour which reminds me of Frankincense, which actually makes a little sense as they both are a resin and come from the sap of a tree.

Bravo, Bistrot 46, a great idea. It is classy and saving the planet at the same time.

And they do great coffee too!

Uncontaminated Oats Toasted Muesli

I feel like I won the lottery recently when I came across these uncontaminated oats.There is a lot of confusion about eating oats when you are following a gluten-free diet. In a nutshell, oats contain gluten, but it is a type of gluten that 4 in 5 people affected with gluten intolerance can tolerate. BUTto further complicate this regular oats are an no-go zone becausethey are grown in circumstances where they are cross contaminated with gluten grains like wheat, rye and barley.

So uncontaminated oats, grown and harvested in an environment where they have not been tainted with the gluten grains are safe for most people. The packet cant be labelled gluten-free because those with Celiac could be affected with the particular strain of gluten that oats contain (Avenin).

It says on the packet that you should check with your doctor before you consume uncontaminated oats if you are have Celiac disease. Read about the oats here.
Read statement from Celiac society here.

I have been completely unaffected with any symptoms and have been happily woofing down these oats in apple crumble and this home-made toasted muesli (granola). PS. Oats are lower GI than most other cereals, and is soluable fiber which is important as a lot of gluten-free alternatives are high GI.

Heres a quick, easy and DELICIOUS toasted muesli.

For the nuts,I like to use a combo of almonds, pistachio, sunflower, pepitas, and a sprinkle of some chia seeds. Macadamia or hazelnuts are also lovely.

For the dried fruit, I like to use dried sour cherries or cranberries. Sometimes prunes.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups uncontaminated oats
1 cup nuts (combination of your choice)
1/2 cup shredded coconut or coconut chips
1/4 cup macadamia oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
A sprinkle of dried fruit of your choice to serve

METHOD:

Mix the nuts and oats in a large bowl with oil and maple syrup.

Spread out onto a baking tray and toast in the oven at 180C

Toss every 5-7 mins to ensure even toasting. It will take around 20mins of cooking to be perfect.

Once toasted, you could add through the dried fruit before putting into a glass jar to store.

Or top with the fruit when serving. This way you can vary the fruit each morning.

Makes approx 3.5 cups.

My Daily Bean: Portoeye Cafe, Kardamena, Kos, Greece

Todays coffee is a Freddo Cappucino at Portoeye Cafe in the beachside village of Kardamena on the Greek Island of Kos.

Sitting on a lounge chair at the harbourfront watching the world go by and listening to nice music.

The coffee is creamy but not too milky but a massive caffeine hit, sweet and refreshingly cold.

Coffee: 4 out of 5
Atmosphere: 5 / 5
Newspapers: No
Free wifi: yes, obviously :-)
Gluten free: WTF is that?
