I have recently tried to limit dairy in my diet, and had some beets I had been meaning to use up, in the fridge - along with some half used containers of vegan cheese. With my spinach a day from expiration, and my herbs on their last leg, I reached for my container of Trader Joe's Quinoa Dolmas, and this recipe was born. I love the "food competition" show technique of blending already-made foods into a sauce, to thicken and repurpose the food, as well as accentuating the dish with that same food, as a garnish, whole. And, I love food 52's / Canal House's technique of frying an egg in oil, flavored with bloomed/toasted spices. And I've been making a Curry Egg 3-5x a week, since I discovered the recipe. Thus, I give you: Mediterranean Egg Salad. Also, as a note, you could probably use vegan yogurt instead of the sour cream and cream cheese. And, if you don't care about dairy free, feel free to use regular greek yogurt!Food.comThis recipe comes from "Simply Seafood", a magazine published in Seattle in the late 70's-early 90's. Sadly, no longer in existence, it was one of the best sources of fish & seafood recipes, as well as the state of the fish industry. I've been unable to find a similar authentic recipe in any of my cookbooks, magazines, etc. I have spoken to Maltese friends who confirm the authenticity of the recipe. Maltese cuisine is influenced by Africa and, in this case, Italy. Clearly, fish and seafood play a key role in the regular meals of this island. The beauty of this recipe is that while it is described as baking, the dish starts with a relatively small amount of liquid and the tomatoes give up liquid as they soften and melt at the relatively low cooking temperature. Thus, this is more a braise than a bake and the fish retains or absorbs liquid as it cooks, thus staying moist. This is a very different style of tuna compared to the quick, high heat, "seared on the outside, rare on the inside" style. This recipe is quite forgiving: I have used frozen tuna steaks without defrosting them and cooked this in a slow cooker at low heat for 6 hours or at high heat for 4 hours: just add enough additional water so that the tuna stays moist. Also, if you're blessed with thick tuna steaks, whether baking or using a slow cooker, just add water as needed and keep the tuna moist until it cooks through ... Serve with a green salad and crusty bread. Wine along with the meal (or if you choose, added to the braising liquid) is a wonderful touch -- for the broth, you can use either white or red. For drinking, a Sicilian wine would match the Mediterranean island origin of the dish, but anything from southern Italy would be appropriate ... In additon to being a dinner, any leftovers can be served at room temperature or heated up for lunch ... Note that since the salt and pepper are "to taste", the nutritional analysis for sodium will be incorrect -- if you are on a no/low/restricted salt diet, beware!!Food.comFrom most recent book. Haven't tried. Servethe cod in shallow bowls with soup spoons so you don't leave any of the rich sauce. This recipe is best made with red, full-flavored, Spanish pequillo peppers, which you usually find among the other jarred peppers in the supermarket. You could use roasted red pepper instead.Food.comThis is a very hearty and tasty, good-for-you chicken recipe. I created this to break away from the tradition tomato sauces and Itailian chicken recipes. I use boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut to fit better in crock. The chicken gets so tender it falls apart and I don't have bones to fish out. I have made this with either wine and cooking wine, both are great, or chicken broth if you don't have wine handy.
