I made this when we had company over for & everyone really enjoyed it. Continue reading “Orzo Salad with Imitation Crab”

Nandos is a restaurant that started in South Africa ( I think) & we recently, about 1 year ago, had one of these restaurants open here in Edmonton. We stood in line for a very long time to get in the first time we went. The food is good & they have a fantastic pop machine! So when I saw Nando’s PERI-PERI sauce at Costco, I had to buy it.

Turmeric is a very popular ingredient lately. It is turning up in all types of food. We have joined in on the bandwagon & I am trying all kinds of recipes with turmeric added. When I saw this dressing recipe I knew I had to try it. I used it on a salad but it would be used as a sauce… on cooked vegetables, cooked meats… rice.. anything …it is so good.

This is a wonderful recipe for a layered vegetable torte. This is the perfect time of year to make it with all of the fresh vegetables available at farmers markets, but it would be good anytime of year. You can grill the vegetables or roast them before putting this dish together so it is pretty flexible. Easily adapted to be vegan…just leave out the Parmesan topping.

When Murray & I were in Italy about 9 years ago, we discovered a delicious drink..the Aperol Spritz. Once we were home, we tried to get restaurants to make it, but not many of them had the Aperol. It wasn’t easy to find in the liquor stores in Edmonton either. Over the years, it became known & this year the Aperol Spritz is the ‘summer drink’ I think.
