Greek Salad
Simple, delicious and eaten by millions every day, there are few side dishes (or light lunches) as refreshing and well balanced as a classic Greek salad. In Greece, the salad is generally made with pieces of tomato, cucumber, onion, olives and feta cheese, dressed with olive oil, salt and oregano. Some variations include capers or green bell pepper. The feta is often served as a slice on top of the other ingredients. Outside Greece, it is common to find Greek Salad as a lettuce-based salad with the feta broken into pieces.
Nona’s Chicken Sofrito
Nona would make this traditional Sephardi chicken and potato stew every Pesach. As children, my siblings, my cousins and I would ask for it at every opportunity, but being a meal that takes some hours to make and rarely lasted more than a handful of minutes before being utterly devoured, she’d usually reserve it for special occasions or for Shabbat and Yom Tov.
Marror Mashed Potatoes
Two questions we get asked a lot – 1) “How can I cook potatoes differently for 8 days and nights?”; and 2) “What on earth can I do with all this left over horseradish?” Answer – try confiting the horseradish with garlic to bring out its natural sweet notes, and run the beautifully flavourful infused oil through your mash. We like to top ours with a little extra fresh horseradish grated on top for the bitter heat to shine through. It’s a match made in heaven!
