Savory Pear Breakfast Bruschetta is very easy. The honey & rosemary are an excellent combination! An appetizer, or a light brunch or lunch.
Falafel, a Mediterranean gift to the world. Delicious & Healthy. These vegetarian delights can be made at home. Enjoy with tahini, tzatziki or tabbouleh
They make simple, great tapas. Shishito peppers are similar to the Padron peppers used in Spain for a popular tapas. The peppers are mostly sweet, and blistering them brings out the best. Be warned — about one out of every ten is spicier than the rest. About as spicy as a mild jalapeno. There is no way to tell until you bite in to it!
Bruschetta with Olives and Capers. A quick appetizer or light lunch to try. It comes together in about 10 minutes. You can scale the recipe easily for a larger group. Feel free to play with this recipe and change things out.
Romesco Sauce. One of the most delicious and versatile sauces you can use. Great on fish meat, and veggies Great as dip or spread too Save time without sacrificing flavor using this version
