Classic Potatoes au Gratin
Definitely one of my favorite recipes to serve potatoes; very easy to make and the result is spectacular; rich, creamy and bursting with flavor. Goes well with fish, poultry or beef and a simple green salad on the side.
Authentic Mexican Pico de Gallo
Pico de Gallo is a chunky Mexican salsa made with fresh, raw ingredients. Delicious as an appetizer or topping.
Mashed Potatoes with Garlic and Olive Oil
The Mediterranean take on mashed potatoes, intensely flavored with extra-virgin olive oil and garlic instead of dairy products such as butter or milk.
Cucumber and Tomato Salad
The preparation takes only 10 minutes. However, to allow the salad to develop its full flavor, I recommend that you set it aside for 20 – 30 minutes before serving. As a variation, try the cucumber and tomato salad with an addition of crumbled feta cheese.
Roasted Potato Wedges
A crispy, spicy alternative to french fries, perfect as a side dish to meat or poultry.
Authentic Baba Ghanoush (Eastern Mediterranean Aubergine Dip)
Baba Ghanoush is a popular Levantine appetizer of puréed roasted aubergine mixed with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and various spices. Some recipes also include freshly minced garlic. I decided to skip the garlic, but free to add some if you prefer.
Italian Bell Pepper Salad
Serve it with grilled meats or as an antipasto with crispy white bread.
Italian Spinach with Raisins and Pine Nuts
Yes, I admit, rinsing the spinach is a bit time consuming, but once that part is done it takes only a few minutes to make this flavorful, Mediterranean dish.
Moroccan Couscous Salad
Like every Moroccan dish, this salad offers an explosion of flavors and colors. It can be served as a side dish however, it is hearty enough to be eaten as a meal by itself.
