this kind of pasta I ate in Greece ... do not know about the sauce, but was deliciously :)

Ooo, Raleigh, well you thought of them :). They are very tasty and quite frankly to me like more than rice. In some stores write it as a test rice :) And many options for cooking. They usually prepare mince when hastily.

Try and so will not regret. My girlfriend, she is Greek, they had done a month ago, then Qusay them so for the first time. Since then I've done it at least 10 times and all is like.

These days I make them with bacon, mushrooms and cheese, and finally pour a little with some sauce, but it will give them a try.

Kazava is Klitaraki and is made with minced meat. Cyprus has such a dish.

This paste of Italian says Rizzo, says Greek kRitaraki. Whether you prepare it with minced lamb, tomato sauce, or just this recipe - that everyone decides for himself. Put photo package kRitaraki as I buy - not even a person to read the Greek alphabet, at least everyone knows that the Greek P and P clearly are the same.

Frankly, the comment you upset me, anastacia! Ham do not know, yet to teach others! It was set at least google *kritharaki*, before you write some statements ... Wikipedia has a whole article about them. The name is a diminutive of *kritari - barley* and means *echemicheta* because it looks like a grain. As of itarianski risotto means *orizcheta*, again because of the form. Furthermore, long invite you to comment on, but I'll say it now - Turkish not say rice vermicelli and rice shehrie. Rice vermicelli noodles is short, about 2 cm, I use it for Pillau (pilaf).

In Cyprus it is called so kritaraki on dish with minced meat is nothing especially ate it one time in Cyprus and not repeated, for sure I asked my brother in law who is kiparchanin and he confirmed that kritaraki.

Rally, again yummy! I added a pound pork shoulder after onion, garlic and blend! And fast and delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

Ive, you sweet :) As each and paste that can be cooked in various ways. I think tomorrow I do kritaraki lamb, still looking recipe.

Thank Rally!
