Basque piperade in a Le Creuset bowl
Posted in Recipes, tagged basque, breakfast, egg, le creuset, piperade, spanish on August 6, 2021| 1 Comment »
This little bowl works perfectly for broiling your piperade! Here is my recipe: Saute 1 sliced boiled potato, 1/2 sliced onion a green or red pepper and cooked corn off the cob for about 15 minutes in olive oil. Spoon into the bottom of the baking dish, add 1/2 cup fresh canned tomatoes, chopped. Add one sliced tomato and a raw egg on top, salt and pepper and a few cubes of mozarella cheese. Broil for 15 minutes on low so the egg gets cooked through. Sprinkle with fresh thyme and extra virgin olive oil from Spain! Serve with toasted sliced bread or baguette!

mini quiche and croissant au jambon!

Baking these little quiches is a great idea and you can freeze them for future breakfasts! Mine didn’t last long around here. The croissant ham and cheese sandwich is easy to assemble, just get super fresh croissants and insert a piece of ham and your favorite cheese, heat in mini oven for five minutes!

rustic garden tomato tart

We have too many tomatoes this year and I was challenged to find ways to use them or let them fall to the ground and rot. This turned out to be easy and can be frozen after baking as well! Recipe:

I did not use the lemons however but I did use all the garlic!

Easter lamb
Posted in food, Recipes, tagged easter, garlic, lamb, mint, potatoes on April 13, 2020| Leave a Comment »
We hardly ever eat lamb and this was a treat, and we are not huge followers of religious events but this one, being indoors and all provided me with an opportunity to use lamb in an old fashioned way.
I marinated the rack for two days in olive oil, chopped garlic and rosemary. I then salted and peppered it before grilling it and finishing it in the oven. On the side I served a Mediterranean parsley salad and a mint and garlic sauce. Fresh and rich at the same time!
