Veal Rolls with Feta Cheese, Garlic and Olives
April 20th, 2013 in Beef, Main Dishes by Julia Volhina
This recipe is not so budgety, prices for veal in US are somewhat high, but I like veal meat: it is lean and tender.
To reduce cost a bit, another part of veal can be substituted for scallopini here, pieces should be sliced thin, beef will do too but may need to be cooked longer to be tender.
Use any kind of white wine you like, it can be also served later with the course.
Turkey Meatloaf
April 13th, 2013 in Main Dishes, Turkey by Julia Volhina
This is another experiment with turkey meat, which I am not very familiar with. And I must say I like how it turned out.
I used ground turkey breast meat, but thighs would do good as well, or a combination of these.
This recipe is good choice for lunch or dinner, leftovers can be stored in fridge and warmed up before serving.
Seared Summer Squash
April 6th, 2013 in Main Dishes, No-meat, Sides by Julia Volhina
Easy and quick to make dish for summer squashes or zucchini. I actually used both to make this dish looking more festive.
I believe it is also light, especially if amount of oil used is reduced to minimum, squashes are actually being cooked in their own juices.
Seared squashes can be served as a dish on its own or as a side dish for a meat main course.
Lettuce, Tomato and Cucumber Salad
March 2nd, 2013 in Salads by Julia Volhina
In anticipation of the spring in early March, here goes fresh tomato, cucumber and lettuce salad recipe.
These fresh vegetables taste so good in the Spring.
Prepare the salad soon before serving, cut fresh vegetables don’t like to wait.
If you want to make dressing lighter, use light mayo and low-fat yogurt instead of sour cream.
Mussels Steamed with Shallots in Wine and Butter Sauce
February 9th, 2013 in Fish, Main Dishes by Julia Volhina
This is a recipe for tender mussels steamed with shallots, garlic and fresh greens in dry white wine and butter sauce. It will work great for a romantic dinner.
Use good white wine you would drink yourself for this recipe to achieve best results. And serve remaining of the wine along with mussels later.
Steamed mussels go great with toast garlic bread or a baguette with garlic.
Brussel Sprouts with Mushrooms and Onions
February 2nd, 2013 in Main Dishes, No-meat, Sides by Julia Volhina
Brussels sprouts cooked in mushroom and onion sauce can be served as a dish on its own, or as a side dish for a meat main course.
You can use fresh or frozen brussels sprouts for this recipe, frozen ones don’t require thawing, but may need a bit less time for cooking.
Vary amount of water (or broth) and flour while cooking to reach desired thickness of the sauce (more flour and less water will make it for thicker sauce).
Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce for Seafood
January 26th, 2013 in Sauces & Dips & Spreads by Julia Volhina
Nice and quick recipe for simple sauce to serve with seafood: crab legs, mussels, clams, lobsters, etc.
You can use use fresh garlic or garlic powder, as well as fresh lemon or lemon juice, whatever is at your disposal.
When served, make sure it can be kept warm enough to prevent butter from thickening.
