Trahanas is a favorite, traditional breakfast in many places of Greece, (especially mountainous). For many years we have snabbud it, but we altered its recipe and gave it a more velvety texture than the tradditional soup. We redesigned the name and called it a ”trahanotto”, according to the Italian risotto, and now it looks more sophisticated and gourmet!
No matter how you may prefer it, trahanas is the perfect canvas to play with whatever flavor you think, from chicken and mushrooms to shrimp and spinach. Today I partner it with my favorite, red winter vegetable, beetroot.
