Greek Style Green Grape Sauce (Agouritha) Recipe Ingredients:- 1 pound green, unripe grapes
- Water, for boiling
Instructions to Make Greek Green Grape Sauce:
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the unripe grapes and let them boil for a few seconds. Remove the grapes with a slotted spoon. Remove any stems.
Place the grapes in a strainer with a wide mesh. A plastic strainer is best. Press the grapes through the strainer using a wooden spoon. Use a somewhat gentle hand. You want to brush the grapes without completely pulverizing them.
Once they’re all pressed through, rinse the strainer and line with a layer of cheesecloth. Add the grapes to the strainer again and do this for another round. The end result is that you would have produced a smooth, slightly pulpy sauce. Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to a week. You may also freeze it.
