Spentzofai Alliotiko

“Spentzofai Alliotiko” is our version of the famous recipe from Pelion
with smoked buffalo sausage, sage & orange juice!

You can start by preparing the brown rice. Pour the water into a small pan with the extra virgin olive oil & the sea salt. When it starts boiling throw in the rice & lower the fire to medium. Cover with the lid leaving a small opening on the side & mix from time to time. It will be ready when all the water is soaked.

While the rice is boiling go on with cutting the paprikas julienne & the buffalo sausage into slices. Prepare the fresh orange juice & rinse the sage leaves. In a wide pan pour some olive oil & when warm, throw in the buffalo sausages. Mix for a while & then add the paprikas. Give a good twist & when they get a bit shiny, add the sea salt to help them lose their water. Let them cook a bit while mixing regularly & then add the sage leaves that you chop coarsely just before adding them. Give them 1-2 good twists & quench them with the orange juice. Let it cook for 30 seconds & then add the tomato juice too & lower the fire. Mix well & let them cook until you have a thick & flavoursome sauce. Serve on the rice with a generous sauce amount!

Enjoy it with a nice Greek craft beer!
