At the WeSud restaurant in Voula, every dish is an invitation to a culinary journey. Among the notable creations of our kitchen, Skioufichta stand out as a perfectly harmonious composition of flavor and texture a testament to our vision of authentic Greek gastronomy: with respect for raw ingredients and a modern, refined sensibility.
What is Skioufichta?
The name may be unfamiliar, but its essence is deeply comforting. Skioufichta are traditional handmade pasta, often in the shape of small spirals, designed to hold the sauce in every twist. At WeSud, this pasta becomes the link between rustic tradition and a refined dining experience.
The Anatomy of a Perfect Balance
The secret of the dish lies in the careful combination of specific components that work in harmony. Tender chicken and earthy mushrooms create the hearty, satisfying base. Estragon introduces a note of freshness and a distinct aromatic profile, lifting the dish away from any convention.
The Star: Naxos Graviera
The star, however, is undoubtedly the Naxos Graviera, which is the soul of the sauce. As it melts, it creates a smooth, creamy emulsion that embraces every piece of pasta without becoming heavy or cloying. It offers a characteristic fullness and a pleasant, slightly tangy note that perfectly balances the dish.
An Experience for the Senses
The result is a dish that awakens multiple senses. The handmade pasta offers a pleasing bite. The sauce is rich and flavorful, while the aromas of estragon and sautéed chicken rise from the plate. Every bite is different, with the spirals capturing different ratios of the ingredients, offering a dynamic flavor journey.
The Perfect Pairing: Assyrtiko Wine
At WeSud, we believe an exceptional dish requires an equally exceptional companion. For Skioufichta, the choice is clear: an Assyrtiko wine. The dry, light profile and the fruity and mineral notes of a good Assyrtiko act as the ideal palate cleanser.
A sip after a bite rinses and prepares the taste buds for the next. The wine’s acidity cuts through the rich sauce, while its aromatic characteristics converse with the estragon and mushrooms. This combination is a fundamental part of the experience, elevating the flavor to a new level of enjoyment.
