Tomatillo Tzatziki- raita, or just call it yogurt sauce

2018/08/24 By Melinda Leave a Comment

Some may see this as a desperate attempt to make something other than enchiladas or salsa verde with my bounty of tomatillos but I’m going to stick with sort of genius.

Spring Greens Waffle Latkes Peppery heat, three kinds of green and creamy potatoes crisped and creviced in the waffle iron. A variation on a theme. Delicious generously topped with a yogurt chive sauce, so delicious that I never quite got to trying these with an egg on top. Or to sharing. I ate them all and […]

2015/01/18 By Melinda Leave a Comment

Beef-and-Potato-Hand-Pies-with-Arugula-Yogurt-Salad

Beef and Potato Hand Pies with Arugula Yogurt Salad Ground beef, mushrooms, potatoes. The heady scent of curry, soft subtly tangy pastry dough, peppery arugula, creamy yogurt, and the vinegar kick of spicy pickled vegetables. Comfort and zing. Beef not your thing? These would be just as tasty without the beef. Just up the mushrooms. I […]
