In England, supper can be any meal eaten from 6:00 P.M. to late at night. Only a very formal meal eaten rather late would be called dinner.
Vegetarian shepherd’s pie satisfies the appetites of people who don’t eat meat but who enjoy traditional English foods. The tofu and walnuts provide protein.
A delicious salad. The bulgur is cooked in chicken broth which gives it a hearty flavor. And the dressing is pungent and wonderful. All the veggies - tomatoes, onions, fresh parsley and fresh mint leaves - blend in beautifully, and the whole salad comes alive when chilled.
Fine, fresh vegetables are found throughout Greece. For this recipe, it is important to use the reddest, ripest tomatoes available.
With Saint Patrick’s Day only a few days away, it’s time for Irish beef stew. Irish stew originated in Ireland and is popular across Europe. Like most other stews, this stew consists of a variety of diced vegetables and meat simmered in a thick sauce. The sauce gets a lot of its flavor from Irish stout beer; hopefully you can find this because it will make a big difference in the taste of the stew. Apparently there is also a version of this made with lamb, but I have never tried it. This is a perfect recipe for Saint Patrick’s Day. Enjoy.
This simple but tasty dish is one you might find at Pontedassio’s Sagra del Basilico (Basil Festival).
