Mushroom Lasagna
So, why make a mushroom lasagna? It’s a mushroom lover’s dream, it’s filling, a great vegetarian dish and not that hard to make.
Seared Scallops & Lemon Kritharaki
The first time I had scallops was I went with some buddies to Ft. Lauderdale for March Break back in 1986.
Detroit Style Pizza
First, it’s a rectangular in shape, baked in heavy metal pans, it has a thick crust, lots of cheese and pepperoni.
Spaghetti with Brown Butter
One of my favourite dishes my mom would serve is a plain spaghetti (Makaronia) that was tossed in butter until slightly browned, then the pasta was drained and tossed in the brown butter with crumbled Feta cheese and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil to cap the dish.
Salmon Souvlaki
If a Greek can affix something on a stick, they will grill it! So far we have pork, chicken, beef, lamb, shrimp, octopus (that I can recall) and now, salmon.
Pasta Shells with Sausage, Arugula, Cream Sauce
If you’re looking for a quick weeknight meal, pasta is a the answer. Specifically, this recipe contains sausage meat, some cream, baby arugula, cheese and of course the pasta.
Seared Salmon with Avgolemono Sauce
For about a year now, I’ve had a renewed affinity for salmon. Canada produces lots of salmon (both farmed and wild-caught) and we export a lot to the rest of the world as well.
Chicken Fricassée
The origin of the name is French and my version of Chicken Fricassée borrows from both cuisines.
Napa Cabbage Rolls with Avgolemono Sauce
The classic Greek version of cabbage rolls (Λαχανοντολμάδες) are finished with a creamy Avgolemono sauce, which is an emulsion of beaten eggs/lemon juice that is slowly incorporated with hot stock.
