Sauteed New Potatoes with Parsley
A staple of German cuisine, potatoes were a vital part of the diet of heartland settlers.
Swordfish with Two-Squash, Potato and Tomato Sauté
Have more French bread on hand to serve with this colorful main course. A dry white wine is a good match.
Grilled Tomatoes with Aïoli
The fire's smoky heat — and some luscious garlic mayonnaise — turn simple grilled tomatoes into a spectacular dish.
Grilled Swordfish with Mint-Cucumber Salsa
For accompaniments, buy your favorite potato salad and steam some zucchini. Have lemonade and brownies afterward.
Jícama and Pineapple Salad with Cilantro Vinaigrette
Chopped cilantro in the dressing and whole leaves mixed with the spinach add a double dose of cilantro flavor to this salad.
Spiced Beef Tenderloin Steaks with Mango Salsa
This recipe was created to accompany Garlic, White Cheddar and Chipotle Mashed Potatoes.
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
Lamb Moussaka with Currants
This eggplant and lamb casserole, a taverna staple, is known the world over as the Greek national dish. In this lightened version, it's topped with yogurt rather than the customary béchamel sauce. (Moussaka is often made with beef instead of lamb.)
Smoked-Salmon Pizza with Red Onion and Dill
Red onion, capers and fresh dill make nice toppings. Serve the pizza with lemon wedges.
