A Turkish - Moroccan Dinner

Billy and Roger had given us some tomatoes and we continued to make use of them. It is really nice having neighbors that share their bountiful harvests! We made a Turkish Salad. It is very unusual in that all of the ingredients are chopped to a similar size and then yogurt and browned butter are poured over the salad. The recipe is from Casa Moro The Second Cookbook. You can find the recipe for the salad in our blog of: Aug 12, 2008. Click the date to get the recipe.

For the main course we had Expatriate Roast Chicken with Lemon and Olives from The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen by Paula Wolfert. It is one of my very favorite ways to roast a chicken. You can find the recipe in our blog of Aug. 2, 2008. You can find the recipe by clicking the date.

We also had Roasted Potatoes. Cathy modified a recipe from the The River Café in London. Basically cube potatoes, cube onions to a similar size combine with balsamic, salt and pepper and roast till brown at 350 degrees. The balsamic really adds to the flavor of the potatoes!

This is one of those dinners that give lots of leftovers! Yea!
