Makes about 2 cups must
When it is the season to harvest grapes, Greek people eat them or make them into Grape must which they use to make wine or into sweets!
To make grape must, you need to have a lot of grapes! Since this was my 1st experiment, I bought 2 kg grapes and ended up with approx. 2 cups grape must only ????!!
You can of course, get store bought grape must, but there is nothing like the experience of preparing your very own homemade must! Even better is to stomp grapes with your feet like it used to be in the older days! I have fond memories of doing that as a child for my father whose hobby was to make his own wine ????! Hard work but worth it!
Suitable for vegans and fasting.
INGREDIENTS:
2 kg / 4.5 lb Greek Grapes any kind (I used seedless Sultanas or Thomson)
❗P.S. For those wondering, I experimented stopping the Must fermentation only with boiling and without adding ashes (the traditional way). It worked! I was able to store the must in the fridge for a whole week without seeing any fermentation and was able to use it and make Must Pudding- Moustalevria❗
Σπιτικός Μούστος
BY: Greek Cooking Made Easy
Φτιάχνει περίπου 2 φλιτζάνια
Όταν είναι η εποχή της συγκομιδής των σταφυλιών, οι Έλληνες τα τρώνε ή τα φτιάχνουν μούστο που τον χρησιμοποιούν για να φτιάξουν κρασί ή μέσα σε γλυκά!
Για να φτιάξετε μούστο, χρειάζεστε πολλά σταφύλια! Δεδομένου ότι αυτό ήταν το πρώτο μου πείραμα, αγόρασα 2 κιλά σταφύλια και κατέληξα με περίπου 2 φλιτζάνια μούστο μόνο ???? !!
Μπορείτε φυσικά να αγοράσετε έτοιμο μούστο, αλλά δεν υπάρχει τίποτα καλύτερο από την εμπειρία της ετοιμασίας του δικού σας σπιτικού μούστου! Ακόμα καλύτερα είναι να πατήσετε τα σταφύλια με τα πόδια σας όπως κάναμε παλιότερα! Έχω υπέροχες αναμνήσεις να πατάω σταφύλια σαν παιδί για τον πατέρα μου, του οποίου το χόμπι ήταν να φτιάχνει το δικό του κρασί! Σκληρή δουλειά αλλά αξίζει τον κόπο!
Κατάλληλο για βίγκαν και νηστεία.
ΥΛΙΚΑ:
2 κιλά / 4,5 lb Ελληνικά Σταφύλια οποιοδήποτε είδος (χρησιμοποίησα σουλτάνα ή Thomson χωρίς κουκούτσια)
❗Υ.Γ. Για όσους αναρωτιούνται, πειραματίστηκα να κόψω το Μούστο μόνο με βράσιμο και χωρίς την παραδοσιακή προσθήκη στάχτης!! Δούλεψε! Ήμουν σε θέση να φυλάξω το μούστο στο ψυγείο για μια ολόκληρη εβδομάδα χωρίς να γίνει ζύμωση και τον χρησιμοποίησα για να φτιάξω Μουσταλευριά❗

00:32:25 7 Notes
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Greek cuisine (Greek: Ελληνική κουζίνα, Elliniki kouzina) is a Mediterranean cuisine. Contemporary Greek cookery makes wide use of vegetables, olive oil, grains, fish, wine (white and red), and meat (including lamb, poultry, veal, beef, rabbit and pork). Other important ingredients include olives, pasta (especially hyllopites, a kind of pasta similar to tagliatelle), cheese, lemon juice, herbs, bread and yoghurt. The most commonly used grain is wheat; barley is also used. Common dessert ingredients include nuts, honey, fruits, and filo pastry. It is strongly influenced by Ottoman cuisine and thus, especially cuisine of anatolian Greeks shares foods such as baklava, tzatziki, gyro, moussaka, dolmades, yuvarlakia and keftethes with the neighboring countries. To an even greater extent it is influenced by Italian cuisine and cuisines from other neighboring south European countries, and thus, especially in southern regions and the islands it includes several kinds of pasta, like hyllopites, gogkes and tziolia.
