In typical “Duh!” fashion, I photographed the soup before I decided to add the balsamic vinegar–and the vinegar is crucial, or at least it was to us, to the final taste of the dish. And just as I was getting caught up on blogging… life has caught up with me again. Ridiculous. I’ve been sitting…
Brazilian Mahi Mahi Stew
Before I forget (because I already forgot once and posted this recipe without it), be sure to check out my essay “Shelling Peas & Snapping Beans“at Flavorful Memories. Leslie runs a business and keeps a beautiful blog dedicated to preserving memories through and about food. This fish stew was a big leap forward for our…
Super Low Fat Dal #2
By the time this publishes, I will be minus 1 gall bladder. Which is a weird thought. I don’t know why it should be–after all part of my brain is sitting in a glass jar (or something) somewhere, so what should the loss of one non-essential organ matter? But there is just something weird about…
Pastitsio
Pastitsio is Greek comfort food–a cheesy, meaty pasta casserole redolent of cinnamon and oregano. I have lightened it a bit by using cauliflower and mushrooms (or zucchini!) in place of some of the pasta! The entire family adores this one! What do you do in the middle of the night when you cannot sleep? I…
Gobi Taka Tak (Cauliflower Sauteed with Peppers, Tomato & Yogurt) Served Over A Lentil Pilaf
Gobi Taka Tak, or Indian Sautéed Cauliflower with Peppers, Tomatoes and Yogurt is an easy, fast and delicious vegetable side dish for any curry, pilaf or main meat! This dish has proved to be a keeper, as I have made it many times since it was originally featured on this post. In November 2015 I…
Shrimp & Scallops Tossed with Capellini, Spinach, Tomatoes & Bacon
Affiliate links are used in this post to link to items I am discussing. A few years back my brother Chris went on one of his hunting trips in Louisiana and he brought back some books for my sister and me. I think he was late on our birthdays. At any rate, while I loved…
Greek Baked Beans With Honey and Dill
Back in February, in time for Lent, the New York Times had an excellent article on Greek vegetarian food by Martha Rose Shulman. Given my interest in Greek food and my interest in vegetarian food, especially legume-based vegetarian food, this article was a treasure trove of recipes. If anyone has a book on vegetarian Greek…
Greek Shrimp, Tomatoes & Orzo Baked With Feta
I am on a roll, people! It was probably that stomach virus, making me desperate for my whole family to be eating good food, but I have made several stellar dinners in a row now. Indian stew, sauerbraten, and now this Greek shrimp casserole. The latest was inspired by the most recent (as of my…
Skirt Steak Pita Wraps With Yogurt & Browned Butter Tomato Sauce
It occurs to me that I have been very lax. Happy New Year, everyone! This was a fabulous throw it together weeknight meal. It is inspired by a dish in Spice: Flavors of the Mediterranean, by Ana Sortum, and that dish was in turn inspired by a traditional Turkish kabob called Iskander. Originally I had…
