Easy Baked Ratatouille

By
EASY BAKED RATATOUILLE WITH OLIVES

Baked Ratatouille Provençale is a colourful vegetarian dish consisting of thinly sliced zucchini, eggplant, tomato and bell pepper swimming in a tomato, goat cheese, and thyme sauce drizzled with olive oil and a few olives. Baked Ratatouille with Olives is a delight for the eyes and the taste buds. Simple to make in under 30 minutes. Simply need a mandoline, and you’ll get this fantastic-looking and tasting dish made in no time! The secret of this dish lay at the bottom of the dish—a sauce made with; goat cheese, tomato, garlic, pepper and thyme. When merged with all the top veggies, it becomes a splendid flavour explosion!

History This southern France dish is usually served as a side dish, but nowadays, like in this recipe, the dish is used as a full main meal! Two prominent variations…

Mediterranean Chicken Fajitas

By
Mediterranean Fajitas

Mediterranean Chicken Fajitas is a mashup of two cuisines; the format is Tex-Mex although the flavours are purely Mediterranean with lots of thyme, garlic and olive oil. Plus, it’s an ultra-light and easy dinner! Guac and Pico de Gallo a la Mediterranean To start with, let me explain the toppings.

Overall, these Mediterranean Chicken Fajitas are healthy, milder and a different way to eat up those wraps! The Filling The filling is a typical chicken fillet, bell pepper and onion. First, I sauteed the chicken in a wok with some olive oil, garlic and thyme. Then finished it up with the veggies! Overall, this dish got milder and simpler aromatics than usual fajitas which…

Cured ham chicken rolls with mediterranean veggies

Cured ham rolled chicken and grilled Mediterranean zucchini pot

Cured ham and sage chicken rolls with mediterranean veggies like zucchinis, yellow pepper, tomatoes, onion, garlic, rosemary and thyme casserole is a light, packed with flavor, easy meal. I know… it’s a long… long… title for such a simple dish. A beloved “under 30 minutes meal” recipe, and filled with mediterranean flavors, who can resist that? The cured ham enveloping the chicken breast is my version of a Canadian recipe called in french: tournedos de poulet. Which consist of a chicken breast enrolled circularly  (supreme) with bacon and holds with the help of a string, so it stays round during coccion. Since living abroad in Spain, I have to reproduce those recipes the best I can, so… for this particular recipe makeover, I’ve took a leaner than bacon meat; cured ham. Then add a little sage leaves in between the slices of ham and the chicken to give it a extra mediterranean flair.…
