Lemon Ouzo Ade Recipes

Steps:

• Simmer 1 cup orzo in a saucepan with 2 1/2 cups water, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried mint, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon paprika and 2 strips lemon zest, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly. Stir in 2 chopped scallions, the juice of 1 lemon, and salt to taste.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons salt and the orzo. Return the water to a boil and simmer uncovered for 9 to 11 minutes, until the orzo is al dente. Drain.
• Transfer the orzo to a bowl and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Fold in the feta and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Grease and flour a 10 inch springform pan.
• Combine all ingredients for the filling and set aside.
• For the cake, combine your butter and sugar in a bowl with your mixer until thick and creamy.
• Beat in the egg yolks one at a time.
• Next mix in your yogurt and zest.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt, then sift the flour mixture into the yogurt mixture and beat well.
• In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
• Whisk half of your whites into the batter, and then fold in the other half.
• Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared springform pan making sure the batter is completely flat and even.
• Next sprinkle the filling evenly over the batter.
• Then pour the remaining batter over the filling.
• Bake your cake in your preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes until it starts to pull away from the pan.
• When it is done, take the cake out and the pan on a wire rack to cool.
• To prepare the sauce, place all ingredients in a saucepan.
• Turn burner to high heat and bring mixture to a boil.
• Once it comes to a boil, reduce your heat and simmer until it has become thicker, approximately 10 minutes.
• Allow mixture to cool.
• When the pan is enough to handle, invert the cake pan over a plate larger than the pan (use whatever plate you wish to display the cake on), and open your springform pan to unmold the cake.
• If it doesn't come right out, you can use a knife or something to go along the edges to release the cake.
• With a spoon, drizzle about a third of your syrup evenly over the cake and allow it to soak in for approximately 10 minutes or so.
• Repeat by spooning the next third of the syrup over evenly, and sit another 10 minutes.
• Finally, spoon the last third over the cake evenly, cover and allow the cake to sit for at least 1 hour before serving.
