Trahana with leeks and mushrooms
Tiny sour dough balls with mushrooms, feta cheese and leeks
The Greek trahana contains only cracked wheat and fermented milk. The traditional trahana is sour in taste and is mostly used to prepare a winter soup. It goes into many pies as well.
Directions
- Heat the olive oil and brown the leeks in a large frying pan until they soften.
- Then add the mushrooms and brown for additional 5 minutes.
- Finish with wine.
- Pour the trahana into the frying pan and stir well.
- Add salt and pepper.
- Add two cups of hot water and simmer until trahana absorbs all water and becomes tender. Check regularly. Stir and add more water if necessary.
- Serve warm.
- Grate feta cheese on top of each plate.
