Greek Feast...I bought hummus, tatziki and pita bread at the farmers market, but I make my own tabbouleh
Tabbouleh: I use the Barefoot Contessa recipe, http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/tabbouleh-recipe/index.html
Greek Chicken: I use the Rachel Ray recipe, but I am only making the chicken, not the salad http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/greek-grilled-chicken-and-vegetable-salad-with-warm-pita-bread-for-wrapping-recipe/index.html
Spaghetti with creamy meat sauce.
I make my meat sauce ahead of time and freeze it, but if you don't do that just saute one onion, iwth two cloves garlic, add 1 lb chicken sausage. Then add dried oregano and parsley, tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes.
Once you have your prepared meat sauce, add 1/2 container of mascarpone cheese. Then pour over your favorite pasta.
Green Chili Chowder
3-6 roasted new mexican green chile's (canned roasted green chile's work too, but fresh is preferred)
2 c chopped onion
4 T butter
1 cl garlic
1/2 t dried oregano
2 bay leaves
3 1/2 c chicken broth
1 lb baking potatoes (2 med.) peeled and cubed
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
1/3 c whipping cream
2 c Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
In a four qt saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the onions, garlic, oregano and bay leaves and cook, covered, stirring twice, for 10 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, potatoes, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring once or twice, until the potatoes are very tender, about 25 minutes. Remover bay leaves then puree soup to your choice of consistency with an immersion blender. Stir in chile's and return heat to med and bring to a simmer, cook uncovered until thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in cream and serve topped with grated cheese and tortilla chips.
I have left over cauliflower from last week, so I think that I may add it for some of the potatoes in this soup..hopefully it is good.
Grilled Breaded Tilapia with stir-fried veggies
I bought pre-breaded coconut Tilapia filets. I just toss them either on the bbq for 15 minutes or in the oven on 325 for 20 minutes. Then serve them along side frozen mixed stir fry veggies that I have steamed.
