Italian Meatballs by Salad FoodieYears ago I had an Italian neighbor who became a close friend. I always commented on her delicious meatballs and one day she shared the recipe with me. I have made them ever since about the same way. You can vary the meats using what's on hand, but I usually select lean ground beef, turkey, chicken or lamb, with an equal amount of… |

Rich Sauce with White Eggplant & Herbs by Amos MillerEggplant has nothing to do with eggs - unless you dip and bread them. This sauce is a knockout! We grow 'Casper', an heirloom small, long white eggplant. It's mild in flavor and perfectly suited to thick, rich vegetable sauces. When cut into dime-to-quarter-sized disks, I have found Casper to be a perfect addition to other late… |

Lamb Meatball and Fava Bean Tagine / Morocco by Amos MillerThis is truly a hand-crafted meal - it takes time. I know that only the most devoted will make this. But it is nothing short of spectacular and was my favorite Spring dish. I'd eat it weekly. This is how I recall Mina made for me when I lived in Marrakech. I'm sharing it just because it is a personal favorite and, for guests,… |

This chili makes for a hearty crockpot dish with "attitude" for New Year's Eve. I based it on a recipe from Phyllis Good's Fix-it and Forget It Christmas Cookbook, and liked the results so much I won't limit making this just at New Year's. Add corn… |

Pork Sausage with Braised Fennel by Nate ApplemanThis is one of our most popular dishes at SPQR. You can cook the sausage any way you like but I'd recommend frying it light extra virgin olive oil - should get to a nice dark brown color outside. Serve this with my Fried Brusseles Sprouts and pasta. Enjoy! |

We like the layers of flavor 3 different… |

Panko Crusted Baked Tilapia by Salad FoodieSo I didn't find a recipe I liked for this and had to bungle my way through it alone. But it turned out pretty darned good! Nice crispy crunch, and baked without using a batter of egg or milk. If you have an alternative way please share! |

Beef Fajita Best Marinade by Amos MillerThis is fast, simple and super delicious! You should have a very hot (very) cast iron griddle or pan to do this right. I preheat the griddle and simultaneously heat a cast iron serving dish so it goes to table with that distinctive 'sizzle'. Be sure to cut the meat, after it has rested, across the grain and as thin as you can. This… |
