Author Notes

Greeks love vlita (Βλητα). The common name in English is slender amaranth or green amaranth.
Greek Bottagra, from Messolonghι is a fish roe that is better for this recipe. —elena antoniou

  • juice of one lemon
  • 70 grams thinly sliced preserved lemon.
  • small red chilli diced. ( or pink peppercorns)

Directions
  1. Wash and cut off the stalks up to the point where the leafy part begins. Cook in boiling water for approximately 15 minutes, then drain.
