We wash the cauliflower, cut it in pieces and throw awy the thick stalks. We peel the potatoes, cut them and boil them with the cauliflower for 20 – 25 minutes. We keep ½ litre of  the boiled water and melt the rest of the vegetables. We add some salt, pepper and nutmeg. In a pot, we melt the butter, we add the flour and let the mixture become “golden”.

Peel potatoes and cut them-like the moussaka-thin slices and spread in the pan.Use sesame oil  which add in the potatoes to the pan, along with dry chopped onion, oregano, green pepper and a little mustard. Put them all together and mix well.

The Dionysios Monastery was built in the 14th century and its founder was Saint Dionysios from Korysos in Kastoria. The construction of the monastery was a laborious process for Dionysios, as there were no financial resources and means for building. In the effort of Dionysios, a great supporter and sponsor was Alexios III Komnenos, Emperor of Trebizond, motivated also by the Metropolitan of the city Theodosios, who was a fellow brother of Dionysios. Donations to the Monastery were later continued by the Emperors Palaiologos, as well as by many leaders of Moldavia. Saint Dionysios completed the construction of the Monastery in 1380 and gave it his name.
