Beefy Corn Tomato Casserole

Beefy Corn Tomato Casserole

Jul 14, 2005

The tomato paste used in this recipe is a concentrated source of lycopene, with 28 mg per 1/4 cup (50 mL) compared with 3 mg in 1 raw tomato. It is also noteworthy that research indicates lycopene from cooked or processed tomatoes is more readily absorbed by the body, especially if cooked with olive oil.

Tuna Macaroni Salad

For the best results, cook up your macaroni or pasta ahead of time. Drain and rinse and let cool. Drizzle enough olive oil to coat all the pasta. Cover and refrigerate for at least a couple hours or even better over night. This will help to prevent the pasta from absorbing the liquid. This dressing I also use in my potato salad.

Mediterranean Orzo Salad

Mediterranean Orzo Salad

Apr 30, 2012

This salad highlights many fresh flavours of the Mediterranean and is at its best when made with good-quality olive oil. To pit several olives at once, place them on a cutting board and lightly crush with the bottom of a small saucepan to expose pits before removing. Stir this salad lightly with a fork before serving to loosen the pasta.

We ocean fish most weekends through the summer months. The thrill of catching a halibut approximately 30 pounds provides the opportunity of making the "perfect halibut cordon blue". To accompany the main is a refreshing salad dish which includes rice, peaches, capsium, celery, onion, saltanos, cashew nuts and dressing. The dressing is olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, fruit chutney and curry.

Homemade baked pita chips make a great pairing for this twist on guacamole. To make them, cut four pita pockets into 12 wedges each and toss with a bit of olive oil. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet in 350°F (180°C) oven until crisp and golden, about 8 minutes. Let cool, then store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Bola with Ham

Bola with Ham

The Douro region is well known for bola, an olive-oil-based pastry filled with onions and ham, meat or salt cod, and served as an hors d'oeuvre. Presunto, Portuguese cured ham, is most similar to Spain's serrano ham. If you can't find either, use a dry-cured or smoked ham. The dough is oily and soft but quite easy to handle.

Roast Pork Loin

Roast Pork Loin

Feb 3, 2010

The Douro region is famous for its tasty veal and black pork raised on its dry, hilly terrain. Wherever I travelled down the valley, I was served a roast veal or pork loin with roasted potatoes, sliced potatoes with onions baked in a generous amount of olive oil, or thinly sliced fried potatoes. The roast I was served on the stunning terraced garden of the Quinta das Carvalhas was studded with prunes.

Fusilli with Canadian Bacon and Fennel

Fusilli with Canadian Bacon and Fennel

May 13, 2009

This is a great, quick, easy and yummy pasta dish. As a child I was brought up with fennel as a snack.  It's great after lunch or dinner(sometimes drizzled with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar). If I would bring for lunch at work everyone would think I was eating onions! Not many people have experimented with fennel...so this recipie allows people to experience this great vegetable in a new and delicious way. Enjoy!

Lemon-Rubbed Roast Chicken

Cushing's mom loves the flavours of lemon and thyme in this dish. “My mom adores how supercrispy and lemony the chicken skin gets,” says Cushing. “She always snatches the skin from other people's plates.” Serve with steamed bitter greens, such as rapini or dandelion, drizzled with olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon. As an alternative accompaniment, serve whole grain bread or long-grain rice. “I prefer white basmati, but my mom always asks for brown,” she explains. “Either would work perfectly.”

Mediterranean Chickpea Stew

Mediterranean Chickpea Stew

Oct 3, 2016 Stew

You can make this hearty soup vegetarian by omitting the bacon, sautéing the veggies in olive oil instead of the bacon fat and substituting vegetable broth for the chicken broth. Use the bottom of a heavy saucepan to crush the fennel seeds, which will release their licorice-like flavour. If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use half of a 300-gram package of frozen spinach; just be sure to thaw and drain it well before stirring it into the soup.
