Thermomix Boiled Eggs For Greek Easter – Avga Vrasta

by Leave a Comment

Red Eggs For Greek Easter

At Easter time, we always dye our eggs red. The colour red symbolises the blood of Jesus Christ as he was crucified on the cross and the egg represents the sealed tomb in which He was placed in.

Traditionally, red eggs are only prepared on Holy Thursday or Holy Saturday. It is forbidden to prepare the eggs (or do any cooking/ house work) on Good Friday.

After Church on Saturday night, we all go home (or to yiayia’s house) for a feast of food and play a game with the red eggs. The aim of the game is to crack someone else’s egg with your egg. The game of cracking is called tsougrisma and it symbolizes the breaking open of the tomb of Jesus and his resurrection from the dead.

Two eggs ‘crack’ together and the winner is the one who does not crack.

Our kids love playing this game!

  • For flower or leaf decal, put an egg into a piece of stocking. Tie a very tight knot to hold everything in position before colouring the dye.
  • Decorate eggs with stickers, diamantes or use a mix of colours.

Easy 6 Minute Dark Chocolate Dessert Recipe To Make In Your Thermomix

by Leave a Comment

This delicious dessert is sort of fudgy and sort of moussy. So, we are calling it a “fudge mousse”. It only takes 6 minutes to make in your Thermomix so it is very quick and easy to make after dinner at night for the family or when you have guests over or when you just need something chocolate to eat!

But be warned… this chocolate mousse is very decadent as it has been made with dark chocolate. If you prefer a sweeter taste, try using milk chocolate or white chocolate! Yum. We love the walnut and dark chocolate combination however you can just use any nuts that you have on hand in your pantry – macadamia nuts are nice!

Dark Chocolate Fudge Mousse Thermomxi Recipe

INGREDIENTS

  • 80g walnuts, plus extra for decoration

  • 800g dark chocolate, broken in pieces

  • 6 egg yolks

  • 365g pure cream

  • 1 tbs cocoa powder, optional

STEPS

  1. Chop walnuts (80g) for about 2 seconds/speed 5. Set aside.
  2. Without washing bowl, add half the dark chocolate (400g) and chop 3 seconds/speed 9.
  3. Add remaining chocolate (400g) and chop again for 5 seconds/speed 9.
  4. Melt the chocolate for 3 minutes/50 degrees/speed 3.
  5. Scrape down sides and continue melting for another 2 minutes/50 degrees/speed 3 or until completely melted.
  6. Start mixing on speed 3 but with no heat. Add the egg yolks (6) through the MC hole. Stop mixing.
  7. Add the cream (365g) and blend 20 seconds/speed 5. Scrape down the sides and repeat for another 20 seconds/speed 5.
  8. Add the chopped walnuts and mix 5 seconds/reverse/speed 4.
  9. Pour the mixture into individual ramekins and sprinkle with cacao and/or extra walnuts.

NOTES

  • “Try adding extra spices such as cinnamon, peppermint essential oil, lemon or orange zest.
  • Make the fudge with your favourite nuts. Try macadamia or pecan nuts instead of the walnuts.
  • For a more nutty, crunchy fudge, add the nuts in whole at the end rather than chopping them up at the start.

Cannot recommend this book enough, a must have for anyone who loves Greek cuisine!!!

    This brings back some wonderful childhood memories of family dinners and the mouth watering smells wafting through the house. Thank you for “Thermomixing” the recipes to make it easier to recreate them for my family. Well done girls!!!

  • Sarah

    I have made two items so far from the cook book. The traditional greek yogurt, so yummy and so easy. I was happy I could make it thicker than I usually buy it. I also made the rice pudding which was amazing and also very easy. I normally don’t like rice pudding so was very happy with the recipe. I’m looking forward to cooking all the other yummy recipes especially the cheeses and the souvlaki.
