The occasion to make this dish came up after a walk along Evripidou street. You know, this little street in the center of Athens, with the many little shops from which beautiful spice aromas emanate, guiding you along the way even with your eyes closed. When I go down to Evripidou street – not nearly as often as I would like to – I always end up buying more things than I really need. I get on a manic buying spree, getting not only the classic products, but also anything that catches my eye. That was the case with star anise, a beautiful fruit, brown and shiny with the well-known aroma of anise that in Greece is most commonly met in some breads and tsipouro.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Put it in food” was the advice of the lady at the store cashier.<\/span><\/p>\n

From a brief search on the “wise” internet, I learned that besides the fact that the Ancient Romans considered it an aphrodisiac and anti-aging “weapon”, star anise is a spice from the Far East that particularly loves white meats, especially pork.<\/span><\/p>
