This type of classification helps to present recipes with another point of view and in an alternative manner. One thing is sure, there are many Greek recipes in this blog but there are also a lot of vegetable recipes, so I thought that a category for vegetarian and vegan (very trendy and for courageous people!) food might make sense. I also decided to include recipes coming from other cultures so I created an additional category for “Food for Around the World” :-) So enjoy :-)
Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie
A cookie that can be split in portions? Yes, this giant cookie can be split and we reduce the total fat so there is even more pleasure! Give it a try and get one bite at a time! It’s even better!
Beef with lemon juice, peppers, mustard and oregano (lemonato)
This is a fine beef stew that is seasoned with lemon and mustard and has some bitterness thanks to green peppers but also some sweetness and delicacy thanks to oregano!
Cauliflower Soup (velouté) with Roquefort Cheese and Pears
A velouté without heavy cream? Is this possible? It is, thanks to the presence of the other ingredients that is well balanced and interesting! Cauliflower couples very well with a little bit of Roquefort or the other French cheese called fourme d’Ambert (it’s a bit milder) and of course pears! It’s tasteful and very delicate!
Baby cuttlefish with onions and red wine (soupies krassates)
These baby cuttlefish are cooked into red wine and have a tomato sauce as well as candied onions! It’s really good and the secret is the use of peppercorns which brings sweetness to the dish and the use of allspice which brings its special character! It’s really good and you should not miss the opportunity to make it!
Beetroot Salad with Greek Yogurt
A beetroot salad with Greek yogurt that is also tasteful thanks to garlic and some Xérès vinegar (or any other red wine vinegar) which brings its special character!
Red Lentils Soup (Velouté) with Cumin and Tomato
This is a fine lentils velouté and cumin goes very well with red lentils! The tomato sauce and carrots help the soup to be more gentle and the overall result is rather comforting and nice! All ingredients are well proportioned and it’s a nice alternative for a light lunch or dinner that keeps you warm and brings comfort!
