Pseftopetinos

Pseftopetinos, meaning fake rooster or pseudo rooster, is a traditional local specialty from the island of Lemnos. It typically consists of sliced eggplants and a local variety of egg pasta called flomaria, which are simmered together in tomato sauce.

Other ingredients used for the preparation of this dish include onions, olive oil, dry Lemnos white wine, garlic, and spices such as allspice berries, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. The dish can be prepared with other similar types of pasta, and it is often served with lots of grated cheese on top.
