Pre-toasted Pontic Evreston pasta (Geusi Vounou, 500 g)
Geusi Vounou Evreston is traditional Pontic pasta made from flour, water and salt. It consists of short, irregular strips, some of which are curled. It is not a standard smooth noodle or a ready-made dish, but a regional pasta shape intended for brief cooking.
Evreston is a type of pre-toasted pasta associated with the Pontic culinary tradition. Pre-toasting gives it a yellow-brown colour, a lightly toasted wheat note and a short cooking time. Once cooked, the pasta is soft, while the irregular edges retain a varied texture.
It is traditionally served simply so that the flavour of the pasta remains noticeable. One documented preparation combines it with melted butter and garlic yoghurt. It can also be served as a sweet dish with sugar and cinnamon or as a side dish with sauce, vegetables or braised meat.
How to use
- Traditionally with butter and yoghurt – pour melted butter over the cooked pasta and serve with thick yoghurt mixed with garlic.
- As a sweet dish – combine the drained pasta with butter, then add sugar and ground cinnamon.
- With tomato or vegetable sauce – briefly toss with a sauce made from tomatoes, aubergine, onion or peppers.
- With meat or mushrooms – serve as a side dish with braised beef, lamb or chicken, or with a mushroom sauce.
Add the pasta to boiling salted water and cook for approximately 3–4 minutes. The short cooking time requires regular checking; drain it immediately once it reaches the preferred texture and combine with the chosen accompaniment.
