Marinated olives
Try marinated olives as part of mezze or serve with other appetizers before the meal. Both black and green olives can be used with this recipe.
Quick sweet pepper sauce
This bell pepper sauce is ideal for boiled or roasted meat and pasta.
Warm olive and tomato sauce
This warm olive sauce goes well with boiled or steamed meat and fish. It also goes well with pasta, as it may remind of a marinara sauce.
Roasted wild boar with mushrooms
Something not seen on the everyday table. Wild boar does not need much to become a delicious gourmet dish. Substitute with deer, to keep the wild meat flavor, or pork, if game meats would taste too strong for your guests.
Thyme flavored braised veal
Veal is a very lean meat and it can be very bland. Thyme adds depth of flavor to many Mediterranean dishes, such as this veal hotpot.
Widow beans
Literal translation of the Spanish name. It is a bean soup with no meat or sausage at all. Flavoring the beans is a challenge.
Lentil soup
Lentils make a delicious hearty soup or a vegetarian main, if served with rice, and the recipe could not be easier.
