Good Morning Friends,
A fun menu ahead. Inspired by my neighbourhood. With Greektown to the West, and Little India to the South and some solid Persian Middle Eastern food in-between, and of course this particular area was very Italian as well. This is how I like to cook, lots of different flavours and textures.
I’m doing some video now! I’ll be posting some cooking stuff to Instagram in the hopes of reaching a wider audience. Have a gander at @the_chris_ball I’m trying to keep them short and snappy. Will try and avoid the driving in my car ranting about stuff trope; mainly because it’s hard to stir and drive…
- Creamy Butternut squash Pasta – Another sneaky vegetable inclusion. Pan roasted butternut squash gets turned into a creamy sauce and put over pasta with crispy sage leaves and walnuts.
- Pork or Lamb Souvlaki with Pitas – Grilled and served with pita and homemade tzatziki sauce and greek rice.
- BBQ Za’atar Rotisserie Chicken – Still nice enough to get the BBQ going. I spin this over the the charcoal BBQ with a nice herbal Za’atar spice blend and finish with a squeeze of lemon. Great on salads.
- Mulligatawny – This is such a good fall soup. I learned about this soup from Seinfeld’s Soup Nazi episode… It’s ground beef, fall spices, apples and parsnips. Kid Approved.
- Traditional Greek Salad – One of my kids hates olives, one of my kids doesn’t like feta. I assemble the salad and let them add the each. Everyone wins! This works with the BBQ chicken as well as the souvlaki.
