Empanadas are your basic stuffed savory pastry, originating in Spain and being popular throughout Latin America. They are the Spanish version of pasty or the salvadoreño pupusa and are very easy to make (if a little time intensive).
Bonus: They come in the colors of the Italian flag!
These are not your cake-like, mostly-bread muffins like you get from Costco. This is a dense, craggy, chunky muffin where you can see everything that went into it when you take a bite.
If you haven’t had fennel before: It’s very much like celery, but with a distinct anise (licorice) flavor–it’s zesty and fresh and goes great with sausage or in salads, especially salads that include a sharp cheese and possibly also apples.
Everyone has a dish they make when they’ve got to have a balanced meal without much fuss, thought, time or money. I’m Italian, and this is mine.
Even if you think you hate kale, give these a try. They might surprise you.
This recipe has become my new go-to summer salad. I have been raving it about it to everyone I know. They probably want me to shut up.
An incredible salad full of creamy, sweet, tart goodness.
All you need is veggies, olive oil, salt and pepper and you’ve got a tasty side dish.
