Tsouchti Pasta with an Egg on Top
A few years ago I visited the Mani region of the Peloponnese with it’s traditional Maniot towers, rugged terrain.
Lasagna Bolognese
I am still on “team bechamel” when it comes to lasagnas as opposed to ricotta. The bechamel allows one to pre-make a lasagna, make/freeze/bake or enjoy a moist lasagna the next day without it drying out.
Mushroom Lasagna
So, why make a mushroom lasagna? It’s a mushroom lover’s dream, it’s filling, a great vegetarian dish and not that hard to make.
Seared Scallops & Lemon Kritharaki
The first time I had scallops was I went with some buddies to Ft. Lauderdale for March Break back in 1986.
Detroit Style Pizza
First, it’s a rectangular in shape, baked in heavy metal pans, it has a thick crust, lots of cheese and pepperoni.
Spaghetti with Brown Butter
One of my favourite dishes my mom would serve is a plain spaghetti (Makaronia) that was tossed in butter until slightly browned, then the pasta was drained and tossed in the brown butter with crumbled Feta cheese and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil to cap the dish.
Salmon Souvlaki
If a Greek can affix something on a stick, they will grill it! So far we have pork, chicken, beef, lamb, shrimp, octopus (that I can recall) and now, salmon.
Pasta Shells with Sausage, Arugula, Cream Sauce
If you’re looking for a quick weeknight meal, pasta is a the answer. Specifically, this recipe contains sausage meat, some cream, baby arugula, cheese and of course the pasta.
Seared Salmon with Avgolemono Sauce
For about a year now, I’ve had a renewed affinity for salmon. Canada produces lots of salmon (both farmed and wild-caught) and we export a lot to the rest of the world as well.
Chicken Fricassée
The origin of the name is French and my version of Chicken Fricassée borrows from both cuisines.
