Vegetarian Polpettone alla Genovese
In Liguria, the region where I grew up and where I live, the Appennini mountains drop directly into the Mediterranean Sea with no flat land in between. The natural landscape is absolutely stunning, but this leaves basically no space at all for farms and ranches. This is why historically most of our diet is based on fish and vegetables. Even today, most of the traditional Ligurian dishes contain very little to no meat at all. For this very reason, even though in the rest of the country polpettone is a meat-based preparation, for us in Genoa is a delicious vegetarian main dish made with potatoes and green beans.
Spanish Stuffed Endives with Smoked Salmon
A quick and delicious endive recipe with smoked salmon, blue cheese and avocado. These traditional stuffed endives from Spain are a perfect addition to a dinner party or holiday spread.
Quinoa Tabbouleh
Coming from the Eastern Mediterranean (Lebanon and Syria), tabbouleh cools the senses and is a brilliant complement to spicy or strong flavored foods. It is wonderful as a lunch with grape leaves, olives and roasted red peppers.
