Sorry for the long long long timeout... We will explain later, when things are settled, why we took long to cook something good for us to post. For today, we are preparing a dish with cornbread.
Cornbread is such a southern thing. A little sweet and fluffy, it reminds me comfort food in the states. I used to love it when I was there! I try to make it here as well but somehow it is never the same. Greeks make their own type of cornbread which is a pie called bobota (μπομπότα). It can be sweet like a cornbread, or salty mixed with cheese or a combination of cheese and spinach. My grandmother's sister was known for her bobota! It was the best. Baked in her old oven it tasted so delicious! Maybe because it was made with so much love and expectation of us arriving from far away to see her. I believe that food made with love tastes the best. So today I will try to make a bobota for you with spinach and feta cheese. Tomorrow I will go visit my cousin and I will take it to him since he likes it so much. Try it as an alternative to the cornbread you might be used to. It does taste delicious and it is very healthy for you!
As always Kali Oreksi!
