One of the nicer things about Cyprus is the fresh fruit and vegetables available, some of which we rarely see in Canada, and others which we do see but only for a very short season or only as pathetic and expensive specimens. Maggi makes salads that are entirely coriander and rocket, both of which are always available inexpensively in large bunches. Kohlrabi are in all the greengrocers, complete with dark green leaves for the soup pot. Artichokes are somewhat seasonal, more abundant in late winter, but J, having observed one of the women at the market, slices the hearts and sautés them. It's highly labour intensive but makes lovely appetizers or pizza toppers.
