Afkos with chicory

Afkos is one of Lemnos’ most important products, reminiscent of fava. After boiling with carrot, onion, garlic, and herbs, it becomes a velvety purée, flavored with olive oil and lemon. Lightly blanched chicory, immediately cooled in cold water, retain their color and freshness. The dish is completed with roasted onions and tomato for sweetness and intensity.
