Sicilian Olive Salad

This cracked olive medley is a family favorite that is popular both in Calabria and Sicily. Sicilian Castelvetrano olives are becoming readily available in major supermarkets now, and if you have access to those, they are a great choice for this salad. Many Italian-American delis sell “Sicilian Colossal” olives, which also work well. You can toss a few tablespoons of this mixture into hot pasta in the winter, or chilled rice or quinoa in warner weather. It's also a great way to dress up ordinary vegetables, seafood, and meat. This recipe comes from The Mediterranean Diabetes Cookbook.

Roasted Pepper Salad

Author Robyn Webb says, "Bell peppers are so tasty when they are raw, so why ever mess with them by roasting them? It’s because fire does something incredibly magical to a pepper-it transforms its flavor and texture into something juicier, sweeter, and more versatile than before it stepped into the flames. Roasted peppers jazz up pasta, eggs, soups, stews, homemade pizza, and many more everyday foods."

Beef Sancocho

My grandparents would make sancocho over an open fire in their backyard; the wood smoke added so much flavor to the dish. Sancocho comes from the verb sancochar, which means to parboil. It is a very hearty soup common in all of Latin America, made of stewing hen, beef, and innards and served for lunch. Don’t worry; you don't have to start a fire to make this version!
