Moustalevria
Moustalevria
Moustalevria (pronunciation: moo-sta-lev-ri-a) is a traditional Greek dessert made from grape must, sugar, and flour. It is often spiced with cinnamon and garnished with sesame seeds.
Etymology
The term "Moustalevria" is derived from the Greek words "moustos," meaning must, and "alevri," meaning flour. This directly reflects the main ingredients used in the preparation of this dessert.
Preparation
Moustalevria is prepared by boiling grape must, which is the freshly crushed juice that contains the skins, seeds, and stems of the fruit. Sugar and flour are then added to the must to thicken it. The mixture is stirred continuously until it becomes a thick pudding. It is then poured into a mold, allowed to cool, and then served with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sesame seeds.
