This stew I cook for ages. The recipe I had spotted in a Turkish cookbook and love it. Same old, same old: Easy to prepare and perfect to make ahead anyway. That is why I prepare a large pot. You can halve the recipe as well.
If you have really tasty fresh tomatoes at hand, I recommend to use them. I did in Istanbul because tomatoes were very delicious!
White Beans with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Rosemary
It is a very tasty dish. Mostly I use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes. They come with a lot of flavor what makes this dish more tasty. I like to serve it with lamb for lunch; but there is no need for it.
Quick Spaghetti Squash with Rosemary and Dried Tomatoes
This is my quick spaghetti squash recipe if I am short in time. But – yes, there is a “but” – the spaghetti squash should be thawed already. During the squash season I freeze one or two roasted spaghetti squashes as I usually don’t need a whole one. So I thaw the leftovers when needed.
Braised Chicken with Veggies
Usually I prepare more than I need for dinner when I decide for this dish. Why? Because of the intense taste on the very next day!
Tomato Soup
Extremely yummy. This is the reason to cook this soup as often I can. I like it pure or with chickpeas or with wild rice, and with noodles it is just delicious.
Artichokes with Tomatoes and Thyme
This is one of the many delicious dishes I had in Barcelona. Only a few ingredients can be so tasty! Besides, it is working as a main dish as well as a side. So I have diverse options with this recipe. And that I do appreciate.
