This Lemon Zucchini and Eggplant Pasta salad is an incredible way to highlight the flavours of summer. Bursting with flavour from the lemon and fresh herbs, complementing the rich savoury bits of eggplant and zucchini. It’s delicious cold or hot, plus tastes even better after sitting in the fridge for a day or two (if it lasts that long).
These breakfast chilaquiles with eggs are extremely versatile – you can make them with green, red, or a mix of both to make your perfect chilaquiles. Fresh tortilla chips are tossed in your salsa of choice, topped with crema, crumbled queso fresco, thinly sliced red onion, cilantro, and your favourite hot sauce. Serve with an egg or two, and optionally tossed with shredded chicken.
Cilantro lime rice is the most versatile (and popular!) rice to serve in burritos and burrito bowls. It’s easy to make and bursting with flavour from the fresh cilantro and lime juice.
This delicious lemon herb rice pilaf is difficult to stop eating! It’s my favourite base for a Greek souvlaki bowl or as a delicious side to any Mediterranean meal.
When I’m feeling under the weather (or feel like I need some fibre), I often make this lentil vegetable soup. This healthy soup is lightly spiced with a curry blend, along with fresh garlic, onion, carrot, celery, parsnip, potatoes, and rich chicken broth (or veggie).
This is my favourite quick and healthy side dish when I’m making Mexican food and need to get some veggies on the table. My Mexican Corn and Black Bean Salad is great as a side dish, in a steak taco, or as leftovers eaten straight out of the fridge. It’s an all-purpose, delicious and robust salad that’s perfect in those hot summer months (or even in the dead of winter – it’s so delicious!).
Pozole Rojo is all about the toppings. Honestly, it’s my new favourite stew because of the deeply rich (but not too spicy) broth, the tender pork, bright fresh toppings, and crunchy additions like tortilla chips (totopos) and cabbage. It’s amazing!
Moroccan Rice Pilaf is warmly spiced, aromatic, and full of texture from dried fuit and toasted nuts. This version is quick to make and pairs with almost anything – braised lamb, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or even a chickpea stew.
