Gobble up this sweet rice pudding as soon as it's ready, because it thickens and loses its creaminess quickly. The half vanilla bean we call for in the ingredient list should be halved crosswise; if you halve it lengthwise, the moist seeds of the unused half will quickly dry out and lose their flavour.
A little milk and flour make a luscious, creamy sauce without the addition of whipping cream or too much cheese. Look for nutty spelt pasta in the organic or gourmet section of your supermarket, or substitute with whole wheat.
Large portobello mushrooms are a delicious canvas for a spinach-and-feta stuffing. Quick-cooking rice blends cut down on prep time and help make your meal complete.
A delicious twist on a Greek favourite, this hors d'oeuvre uses couscous in place of rice. Grape leaves are available at Greek, Middle Eastern, Italian and most supermarkets. Serve warm or at room temperature along with olives.
Carefully peel beets while still warm using a paring knife while running under cold water—the skins will slip right off. Serve with seared scallops or stir-fried shrimp and make it a meal.
Inspired by falafels, these croquettes can also be served in a pita garnished with lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber.
Browning the chicken on the stovetop before finishing it in the oven makes the skin extra crispy. You can substitute the wheat berries with the same amount of barley, spelt berries or brown rice.
Prepare these delicious, fresh and light rolls ahead of time so you won't feel rushed at party time.
