Fred Sirieix Instagram – This is the ingredients we gave the chefs in #Crete for the semi final. The theme and set piece for the meat was Antikristo.
Antikristo is a traditional technique of cooking meat in Crete. The meat is cut in pieces (called goulidia), salted, then placed on skewers that are arranged around the fire in a circular formation, taking into consideration the direction of the wind, the intensity of the fire, and the distance between the fire and the meat.
This process lets the meat cook in its own fat and salt with the heat coming from the flames instead of coals. The name antikristo means across the fire, describing this unique technique. The meat is slowly cooked, sometimes up to 6 hours, and it develops different flavours in the process.
Now just imagine taking part in #theworldcook
