Savory Sausage & Broccoli Quiche

Broccoli or cauliflower gains in the "battle" of the most nutritious food;
They have a similar appearance, they belong to the same family, they are superfoods and are consumed in a similar way. But what is gaining in the "battle" of the most nutritious food;
Broccoli and cauliflower are two of the healthiest vegetables of the time and often "fight" for what will … star in our dishes. The part of the vegetable eaten is the same flower, which is consumed in various ways: pickle, raw, boiled, steamed etc. Raw, it has the highest nutritional value and in our home most of the times we eat raw as a fruit at our dinner.
Broccoli is the cauliflower variant, with green or violet flower heads and green leaves. In today's tart it was joined with many ingredients, such as sausage, boiled rice, carrots, pepper and with binder eggs, cream and cheeses. He baked and got a great crunching crust thanks to cheese and basically rice.

Greek Traditional Fish Soup

Fish boiled & Fish soup traditional, energizing and for many, very favorite soup with fresh fish.
To have a tasty soup what you need is nothing more than the good fresh fish. Not that it can not be done from frozen fish but definitely fresh is preferred. The dusky grouper, the white grouper, the scorpaena, the European hake, etc. are ideal. Also the smaller fish, those that live near rocks make the best fish soup.

Shrimp Fried Rice

I love Chinese Cuisine, the way we enjoy it the western restaurants, but also that Chinese Cuisine, we find in the place that created it! This classic dish of fried rice with shrimp is a quick and easy recipe in restaurant style.
Shrimp, rice, eggs, green onions and bean sprouts in a jar, because in Greece is not always possible to find fresh bean sprouts.
We use steamed or boiled rice, ideally from the previous day, that is dry enough. So it will be less sensitive to mixing and will become even better at least in terms of aesthetics…
Cook over high heat for a short time and with quick movements. So we need to have everything you need ready, cleaned and cut to the corner, the workbench.

Chilli con Carne

Chili con Carne (Hot Peppers with meat) are among the most famous, typical dishes of Tex-Mex (Texan and Mexican) cuisine. There are infinite variations on the basic recipe of this dish, which has its roots in Mexican cuisine and was the dish of the poor Mexican population. For sure it contains meat, hot peppers and spices. The rest -red beans, tomatoes etc.-, probably added in the course of transition in every continent.
It is intensely spicy to very spicy and what you need for this season of the year and for lovers of very spicy flavors. In our house we have one of those lovers and this dish is his favorite. So the more spicy the better. You moderate a little bit the hot doses of ingredients and enjoy it completely plain or on boiled rice, yogurt, mashed or baked potatoes, sprinkled with grated cheddar cheese and tortilla chips or wrapped in tortillas with a little corn and lettuce leaves. Consumed with zest as it is!
