When you put out a bowl of good olives, they always seems to disappear quickly, don’t they? When I put these little orbs of tastiness out to nibble, with drinks, before dinner, they fly out of the bowl! If you’re lucky enough to have some left, they are mighty delicious strewn over a salad.

You’ve heard about Texas Caviar, Cowboy Caviar, Bean Dip or whatever, right? You probably make it or at the very least, have eaten it. This isn’t exactly that…it’s really a riff on my mother’s Three Bean Salad and we could consider it “friends” with my Three Bean Salad with Potatoes and Corn. What makes this salad different? It has those lovely Tex-Mex flavors. I’m not a big fan of beans and rice, but give me a bean salad and I’m there to the very end…of the bowl! Chips are good, too. Continue reading

The Tuscans have their Ribollita. The Galicians have their Caldo Gallego. The Lisbonites have their Caldo Verde. And we, have this “Souppa”. Most cultures have some similar soup, a simple, nutritious, inexpensive and delicious soup or stew, using what’s on hand. This is peasant food, at its very best. Continue reading

Yesterday The Goddess very pointedly told you not to use oily fish for ceviche. Clearly, she’s not to be trusted. Because today, here she is, using tuna in ceviche. So, it turns out that tuna (and I have used salmon—horrors!) is really quite lovely in ceviche. Continue reading

With the heat of summer around the corner, and sort of already here in South Florida, (though it is raining today) I decided it was time to make ceviche. Ceviche is probably the quintessential summer (read “hot weather”) dish. But, the thing is, it is barely springtime, so I thought some spring fruit might be a nice addition. Maybe even some diced sugar snap peas or asparagus…. Continue reading

Chimichurri is a great sauce for both steak and seafood. Actually, this version, would make a chunk of wood palatable! It’s pretty decent on almost anything, like potatoes (either sweet or regular), roasted parsnips, carrots or cauliflower…like I said, almost anything. Continue reading

This is a nice mélange of vegetables. And it is the perfect choice to serve with Meatloaf Romana. The flavors played off of each other very nicely. And not only is this a colorful mixture, it has a wonderfully rich flavor. Continue reading
