Debbie Matenopoulos and Cameron Mathison are showing you how to make bolognese sauce and Mediterranean braised chicken and chickpeas with a slow cooker.
Harissa, a rich fiery red Mediterranean garlic chili paste, adds bold flavor to grilled and roasted meat and seafood, sauces, pasta, sandwiches, soups and condiments. It tastes delicious served with couscous pilaf and garlic and olive oil-roasted vegetables.
There are many variations of shakshouka. This traditional breakfast recipe has been modified by layering it over a rustic pizza dough for a delicious brunch or “breakfast” for dinner idea. This makes an extra 2 cups of tomato and pepper sauce; great tossed with pasta for a quick and easy dinner.
From Debbie Matenopolous' cookbook, "It's All Greek To Me" Here is my family’s secret recipe for the best Baklava ever. Rolling it this way, as opposed to baking it in a flat pan, ensures a light flakiness and just the right amount of the honey syrup running throughout. Around the holiday season, when I was growing up, my mom would make big batches of this so that my sister, my brother, and I could give platters of it to our teachers. Needless to say, every new school year, teachers were very excited to see one of the Matenopoulos kids on their class rosters!
