Souvlaki For The Soul. Warming Pea and Spinach Soup I always keep frozen veggies on hand.
They come in very handy when a quick meal is needed and can rescue a dull meal. My "always on" stand by frozen vegetables are peas. They're great for a quick pea mash to accompany a roast or grilled meat and I love their use in pasta. They're sweet, juicy and full of flavour. 2 cups of frozen peas 1 big bunch of coarsley chopped spinach leaves 1 small bunch of finely chopped mint leaves 1 small red onion finely diced 1 clove of garlic finely diced 2-3 cups of chicken stock salt and pepper to taste a "splash" of cream In a medium sized pot fry off the onion and garlic on a medium heat till they become translucent Add the peas and give everything a good stir.

I can also feel that my body is weaker. You see, my sinus pains usually end up turning into a cold. I'm not going to feel sorry for myself either. Lamb Fricassee Recipe. You'd be forgiven in thinking that lamb is the only meat I cook on the blog.
I know I've featured it numerous times but the truth is, like anything else in my life-there is a balance. But I think I may be partly at fault here, making you think that ALL Greeks are made lamb eaters. Maybe it's those images of slaughtered lamb on the spits at Easter time that have ironed this idea in people’s minds. And yes, Easter is that one grand celebration where lamb is the featured star. When people find out my heritage, one of the many comments I hear is “I had the best lamb in Greece...made with oregano, lemon juice and olive oil”-that famous holy trinity I wrote about, eons ago.

Oof, how long must we wait until it gets cold again? But to me, French onion soup is a deep-winter affair, for cold, bleak days, not these.
