Mediterranean/6 recipes

Mediterranean foods are not only delicious, but they are also good for you. This Mediterranean pasta salad is packed with goodness with lots of great flavors. Serve it as a side dish or a simply delicious main dish.

This dish is a hearty meal itself. The puttanesca and fra diavolo in the sauce produce a memorable accompaniment to shrimp as well as mussels, clams or even canned or frozen lobster meat.

So good.

This decadent brownie recipe was recently clipped from my local newspaper.

One day I ran out of the ingredients, and so I got creative. What I came up with, I looooove. I call it Mediterranean Chicken a la Crock-Pot.

This Mexican style enchilada casserole is loaded with flavor. Sauteed vegetables, spices and cheese make this casserole absolutely cheesy and delicious.

Toss the cooked pasta and rapini with sauteed shallots, red peppers, sun-dried tomato, marinated artichoke hearts, and olives; sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. A quick, easy yet tasty one-pan Mediterranean meal.

A refreshingly delicious chopped Mediterranean salad is also very quick and easy to put together. A great spring or summer salad with your BBQ.

I omitted the parsley and scallions (had none) and used chopped onion instead. I also added some red pepper flakes for some heat. I treated this as a marinade for my boneless, skinless breasts, which cut cut into strips and marinated overnight. I skewered the strips and grilled for 5-6 min. per side. Excellent flavor.

This quick and easy salad is delicious, filling and nutritious. All the ingredients are very inexpensive. The salad can be kept in the fridge for at least two days.

Enchilada casserole with a twist!

I roasted cauliflower with 1 each sliced yellow and red onions, which came out delicious with the nice caramelization. The tomato sauce was so flavorful, olives added some depth. I used parmesan cheese, and it enhanced the overall flavor.

This is such a flavorful salad, the vinaigrette brings all the flavors together, and the spinach, dried cranberries and cheddar cheese are perfectly delicious with this tasty dressing.

An easy and great tasting way to use up any leftover stuffing from that Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey.

We loved it and used it in the Turkey Lasagna recipe.

The stromboli is like a giant Spanakopita. Instead of phyllo dough, make a Italian bread dough stuffed with this yummy cheese and spinach mixture. It's cheesy, oozy, and delicious.
