Catalan Garbonzos

Very easy to prepare. This flavorful dish is popular in Barcelona, where it is often served in wide soup plates and eaten as a light main course. Garbonzos is another word for chickpeas.

Catalan Aubergines/Eggplants

Similar to ratatouille, but different. 🙂 The paprika makes it different; using smoked paprika makes it extra-special!

Almond Chicken

This is one of my favorite Cantonese dishes. I got this from an Australian Women’s Weekly cookbook that I’ve had and loved for years. The original recipe called for deep frying, which you can certainly do, I just stir fry it.

Soft Tofu With Chilli & Spring Onion

I always know what to order when this dish is on the menu. I found a top recipe in a book named “The food of China” by Murdoch Books. I love it because it is healthy, low in carbs, sipmle to create and it is authentic. This recipe sets off the soft, cool smoothness of the tofu by adding a hot, highly spiced dressing. Great for lunch by itself or dinner served with rice and steamed greens. Wine Match: A German riesling ( Dr Loosen Dry Riesling is great) or a Spanish Tempranillo or Rioja.
