Harissa (1 Cup)
Lasagna
Can I tell you what makes this Italian lasagna recipe so special? It's the easy b chamel sauce (just a fancy name for a white sauce made from flour, butter and milk), that makes it so much tastier and more authentic (at least in Northern Italy), than using ricotta.
Italian Stuffed Peppers
These are my Italian Stuffed Peppers, and they are loaded with ground meat, rice, Italian parsley, freshly grated parmigiano reggiano, and topped with a slice of provolone. They are then baked in the oven with a beautiful homemade tomato sauce until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Whipped Feta With Lemon And Fresh Dill
This whipped feta with lemon and fresh dill is just really amazing on crackers, bread or vegetables. The best thing about this whipped feta is the coolness of the dill blended with the saltiness of the feta and the tanginess of the garlic and lemon.
Greek Scrambled Eggs
These Greek scrambled eggs are loaded with juicy tomatoes, baby spinach, green onions, garlic, and a touch of creamy feta cheese. With just a handful of ingredients, it s quick to make and will always remain one of my favorite healthy breakfast meals.
Cacio e Pepe Chicken Bites
These cacio e pepe chicken bites feature the classic bold, cheesy and peppery flavors of cacio e pepe. Using chicken thighs ensures a juicy and flavorful bite, while baking ensures a crispy, golden crust without the need for frying.
Baked Cod With Lemon And Garlic
This easy baked cod recipe comes together in just over 20 minutes, but there is a reason it is a big fan favorite! Tender, perfectly flaky cod, tossed in bold Mediterranean spices and baked with a tasty garlic and lemon sauce.
Orzo Salad
This colorful, Mediterranean-inspired orzo salad is a crowd-pleasing side dish for a picnic or potluck, and can be a satisfying, vegetable-packed lunch. The trick to a flavorful pasta salad is adding the dressing while the pasta is hot, so it can soak up plenty of flavor as it cools.
Mediterranean Chicken
This simple Greek-inspired chicken has an elegant, light white wine sauce with fresh tomatoes, so it s perfect for easy after-work meals and isn t too heavy. A sauce with oregano, Kalamata olives, capers, and of course plenty of feta cheese. It s got all the best savory flavors!
Shrimp Fra Diavolo
This devilishly spicy seafood pasta comes together in just 30 minutes. Clam juice and shrimp oil add rich shellfish flavor, while red pepper flakes bring the heat. A quick baking-soda treatment keeps the shrimp plump and snappy.
Hummus
This smooth, creamy, and easy homemade hummus recipe requires only 6 ingredients and is perfect for pita chips, crunchy vegetables, or to use as a spread for your favorite sandwich.
Shrimp Scampi
Shrimp scampi is prepped, cooked, and done in about 10 minutes. It s hard to beat a classic shrimp scampi. Jumbo shrimp are saut ed in the most fragrant garlic butter sauce, and then served in numerous ways (see notes) for a simple yet impressive dinner!
