Get the latest Blackpepper recipes from Group Recipes. http://www.grouprecipes.com/tag/blackpepper This is a *way* interpreted version of beef Wellington - in fact shares very little in common but technically was the original inspiration... http://www.grouprecipes.com/82794/jeffs-duck-wellington.html Viva Italia! (Italy lives!) This is my all-time favorite salad. It tastes like summer and reminds me of my trip to Italy (so long ago). Insalata Caprese means 'Salad in the style of Capri'. Simple and delicious; great as a side dish with grilled meats or even as a meal itself. Grazie (Thank you) for taking a look and Bon Appetito! (Enjoy your meal!) Mangia, mangia! (Eat, eat!) http://www.grouprecipes.com/73727/insalata-caprese.html This tasty beauty is a North African, tagine-inspired classic Moroccan stew. This version calls for dark meat because it stays moist when braised. If you prefer white meat, reduce the cooking time by 15 minutes. I offer you the original recipe, but I did mess with it a bit - because I knew it needed a little tweaking. I served this with jasmine rice cooked in chicken broth and made more flavorful and colorful with sauteed red Cubanelle peppers, garlic, cilantro and almonds. It is wonderful and the leftovers are divine. Share with someone you care for - they'll really like you for the favor. Enjoy. Original recipe from Bon Appétit. http://www.grouprecipes.com/60858/moroccan-chicken-with-eggplant-tomatoes-and-almonds.html I made this side dish to go with the Mediterranean meal on Sunday. They worked perfectly with the menu and my guests ate them up. I am really getting into bulgur and lentils. So healthy - so versatile and delicious. Enjoy. Adapted from Gourmet. http://www.grouprecipes.com/52658/bulgur-and-lentil-stuffed-tomatoes-with-yogurt-garlic-sauce.html These handheld pies are fun to make and fun to serve. They're delicious alone (we like mustard and horseradish with them) or with applesauce or roasted apples, potatoes and gravy. Yumm. It's also a versatile recipe, pretty much open to any meat and flavor you want to pair up...so play with it and make it your own. Enjoy.
