Watermelon, feta and mint salad with grilled shrimpI found this recipe after trying one that Jillian made which didn't have shrimp (that one had watermelon and feta and mint), but there was another one with canteloupe, cream and shrimp that was equally delicious. This one has a tangy lime dressing. We had it without arugula but it would be nice with it as well!
Yummy Thai DressingThis marinade/dressing is delicious on a Thai-style salad with steak or chicken slices, mango slices, chinese noodles or whatever you like!
Dad’s Greek Baby Back RibsSimple greek-flavoured ribs, slow-cooked. Start this recipe the day before you plan to eat it. Great with roasted veggies.
Chicken MarbellaThis is an amazingly delicious chicken dish that everyone loves, even if they don't always like some of the ingredients (olives!) We read about this in our Ottolenghi recipe book but the original is from the Silver Palate. I've modified it a bit. It is best if it marinates for a while, so make it a day ahead.
Mandarin ChickenThis is a delicious recipe with a sweet orangey sauce - unless you hate cooked fruit 🙂 Use gluten-free panko crumbs for a gluten-free version.
Rob’s Skillet SauerbratenDad used to make this when we were little. From the photos I see online, it should be served with sweet & sour red cabbage and Knodel (german bread dumplings) or boiled potatoes. So I'll have to figure out how to make those as well!
Thai Coconut Curry ShrimpThis is a recipe Winston and Sherri made for us. We tried to use it at our wedding, but in the large quantity it didn't thicken properly, so don't try that 🙂 Serve over basmati or jasmine rice with a squeeze of lime and chopped fresh coriander leaves. The sauce can be prepared well ahead and refrigerated.
Teriyaki SauceGrandma used to make these with pork cutlets, but the sauce itself is usable for many things.
Tarragon chicken with wineThis is from a very old binder that Jillian made... a long long time ago before the internet was born. Makes 4 servings.
Cardamom chicken with yoghurt and almondThis is another delicious recipe from Ottolenghi - check out all their delicious stuff! We have a few of their books and every recipe is amazing. The recipe is likely Israeli and full of flavour, and I don't have a photo so I've added this lovely photo of Tel Aviv.
Greek RibsPart of Sofi's grade 3 recipe book of everyone's favourites. Faith's description: "I chose this recipe because it has a yummy touch of lemon juice. My family likes these ribs so I think others will too."
Monterey Jack BurgersThis recipe is one of the HelloFresh recipes that Lizzy got. It was delicious with the caramelized onion jam and the crisply broccoli. I like adding some breadcrumbs and an egg to the burger patties as well. I haven’t had much luck finding potato buns around here, but they were sure delicious! Try the accompanying broccoli with the Aoli as well.
