Cypriot Sour Lentil Soup (Fakes Xithati) (Vegan)
With gluten free option. This is a delicious lentil soup we enjoy with a side of fresh salad as a light meal. From the Complete Middle East Cookbook by Tess Mallos, Cyprus section.
Catalan Vinaigrette
This is one of the sauces traditionally used to accompany grilled steak in Barcelona. Adapted from the Barbecue Bible. May be made 4 hours in advance; if refrigerated, bring to room temperature before using. Cook time is standing time.
Catalan Style Cauliflower
Mark Twain once said: “cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with college education” I was attracted to this recipe because of it’s simpleness with ingredients to enhance, not cover up, the delicate flavor of cauliflower. This is from my new cokbook, A Mediterranean Feast.
Espinaca a La Catalan (Catalan-Style Spinach)
A spinach side dish from the Catalan region in Spain. Strong Moorish influences! Whatever you do, DO NOT overcook the spinach! From Jose Andres Tapas: A Taste of Spain in America. Love Jose’s recipes!
Catalan Aubergines/Eggplants
Similar to ratatouille, but different. 🙂 The paprika makes it different; using smoked paprika makes it extra-special!
