I am so in love with this salsa verde. It’s bright and fresh and so full of flavor. There is nothing in this but raw vegetables (so it couldn’t be healthier!) and herbs and it will delight you! I know the green tomatoes are a little random in January- but our local grocery store is…
Arrabbiata is Italian for angry, which sums up the delicious bite from the garlic and chili. The arrabbiata sauce has a wonderful tomato base with crispy bits of bacon, lots of onion, garlic, dried red chili pepper flakes and fresh basil.

This is a spin on the very traditional Caprese salad. While still simple in terms of ingredients, there are some added complexities in flavor because the Caprese Salad is made with roasted tomatoes, and I have added a fresh and delicious basil puree.
Stuffed Tomatoes (Yemistes Domates) This recipe is my the very favorite of one of my brother-in-laws. Tula said that he was waiting for her in the driveway when she told him she was bringing some over. That is serious devotion to a favorite dish. It is truly best in the summer when the peppers and…
