Recipes
from the Mediterranean & the Middle East
I have always loved different ethnic cuisine's. Over the years however recipes
from the Mediterranean seem to really have become my favorites.
I have always been enchanted with foods from Morocco and Persia, Greece and Italy.
I 've learned over the years
that these foods aren't particularly hard to cook, but preparation can take time.
In years gone by some ingredients could be hard to find, but today a simple internet
search will find you any exotic ingredient you need.
As
much as I love heavy creamy dishes, such as Fettucine Alfredo, I've learned that
I'm much better off using spices and herbs to impart flavor, not fats.
Along with my food being more healthy, I'm introducing my family and friends to
wonderful new flavors and cultures. It's easy to incorporate this cooking in your
everyday meals.
I'm becoming
known for my flavorful and fresh Tabbouleh and Persian chicken kebabs at our cook-outs.
So, since this site is about greenbeans n' more,
I'm going to take advantage of the n' more
to invite you to try these recipes with a Mediterranean flair.

This spicy green bean recipe is taken from Madhur Jaffrey's Far Eastern Cookery book. She says in her cookbook that she got this recipe from a "long-toothed lady with a food stall ensconced right in the middle of the Weekend Market in Bangkok." We make this colorful and spicy dish when we're in the mood for something with a bit of heat. We would highly recommend you get fish sauce for this recipe.
