Thumb_10250_Shrimp, Tomato And Feta Risotto With Basil

The risotto acts as a creamy base for the classic combination of shrimp, tomatoes, feta and basil. Any combination of herbs. You could do without the parmesan, but just the little bit helps bind everything together.

Thumb_10919_Sheftalia in Cyprus Pita

Sheftalia is an oval shaped meat ball that is wrapped in caul fat. Caul fat is the membrane that surrounds the stomach and is transparent, fragile, and naturally fatty. When it is finally grilled or barbecued, all the fat melts away. This recipe comes from Kopiaste, and is the featured recipe of Root Source Challenge: Pita.

Thumb_11183_Roasted Sardines

My mother would cook literally a hundred or more sardines at once—enough for everyone at the table to have at least twenty. Their high oil content means any leftover sardines can be reheated without drying out.

Thumb_17708_Moroccan Vegetable Stew

A vegetable stew, done right, can be just as satisfying as a stew made with meat. This one takes advantage of a host of mediterranean vegetables -- onion, zucchini, eggplant, chickpeas -- and adds complex, interesting Moroccan flavors with mint, lemon, cumin, cinnamon and ginger. Try it alongside grilled chicken or lamb.

This dish is heaven for the eggplant-lover. The roasting brings out all of an eggplant's wonderful flavor, and the large vegetable serves as a handy container for the piles of onions and tomatoes.  Imam Bayildi is a meal all on its own, but can also be paired with a simple grain.
