Opa's Tomato Squid and ChorizoBoris MannNo votes

This is called "Opa's" because my dad has made this (or something similar to it) for a long time. The three basic ingredients always remain the same: sauted squid, tomatoes, and some sort of meat. Opa usually uses some nice thick cut bacon or some German speck.

I usually do an Asian-style grated carrot salad with sesame oil, but the meal I was making was very mediterranean. I was going for something light and summery, and I think it worked really well as a palate cleanser / small starter. Next time I would adjust it to have a little more zing: it was a bit too sweet, so maybe balsamic vinegar would have gone better.

New Potato Salad with Creamy Mustard SauceBoris MannNo votes

I never make mayonnaise-based potato salads, but lean towards German-style vinegar dressings. I often add mustard because a) I love Dijon and b) it adds a bit of creamyness. This particular mix has me adding cream cheese, because it happened to be sitting around and seemed a good fit for the fresh mint.

Baked Indian Eggplant with Cilantro and GarlicBoris MannNo votes

I often make eggplant slices baked in the oven, and when I saw these "baby" eggplants, I thought they would be good whole. And they are! Here's a page with a bunch of different kinds of eggplants pictured: http://www.evergreenseeds.com/oreg.html

Salmon with Mashed Potato and AppleAlexa BoothNo votes

A very simple, quick recipe created to use up the apples in my fridge from the fall.

Oven Roasted Winter VegetablesAnne MannNo votes

 

This recipe came from Isa Duffek (Bowen Islander, originally from Austria). I substituted Yukon Gold potatoes for the little red potatoes. Next time I would use more Rosemary, but I am still trying to nurture the little offshoot from the big Rosemary bush that didn't survive the last winter, so Rosemary gets used sparingly for now.

Wild Salmon & Zucchini CurryAlexa BoothNo votes

A delicious, quick to prepare recipe with fresh wild salmon, and veggies!

Zwiebelkuchen

I had a huge pile of onions starting to go bad, and, looking for a recipe requiring lots of onions, I found this "Zwiebelkuchen", available everywhere in South Germany and in the Southwest of France where wine is made. It is best eaten with new wine, that is still sweet, but also a bit sour.
