Varna-Style Braised Chicken (Bulgarian Dish)

This is a popular Balkan chicken dish smothered in rich, herby, sherry tomato sauce with mushrooms that we love having at home. (Edited: moved garlic cloves and onions to include under “For the sauce” to coincide with procedure as spotted by KateL. No actual change to recipe has been made.)

Belizean Meat Pies

These spicy little meat pies are tasty and quite simple to make. The recipe is based on one posted in a forum about Ambergris Caye. Using a food processor to make the dough is not only a time-saver, but you’ll know it’s the right consistency when a ball forms in the bowl.

Fennel-Tomato Soup

A simple and light vegetable soup, great for lunch or as an appetizer. The fennel is complemented nicely with tomatoes, potatoes and a bit of garlic; even people who are usually not very fond of the anise-like taste of fennel might enjoy this soup. This recipe comes from a classic Belgian cookbook and I make it pretty often.
