Greek-style mildly spiced tomato rice pilaf with shrimps

Inspired by traditional recipes which are very popular during the fasting periods in Greece this is really a delicious rice recipe! Full of colours and aromas for this simple dish which, though, will please you to the full!

Summertime "stifado" with courgettes and onions in light tomato sauce

A delicious vegetarian Summertime stifado full of taste and aroma! You can also cook okra and aubergines in the same way. In Greece we have a specific type of small onions for the various recipes of "stifado" but any small (boiler) type of yellow, red or white onion (small shallots, pearl onions etc) work just fine! Another good choice are the Italian "Cippolini" onions
