Food circus: Easy, fun, delicious

Once again I’ve been busy with the food pages published every Thursday in Helsingin Sanomat. As said already before I’m not quite sure if the recipes in this newspaper are better than those published in other ones, or if it is simply an easy approach since my husband usually reads Helsingin Sanomat from cover to cover.

This was my first attempt with these little green bell peppers – as a matter of fact I haven’t even seen anything similar in stores before. These peppers are imported from Spain and are called Pimientos de Padron. Nice little delicacies and very quick to make. Good when served on the side of meat or poultry.

Vegetable salads get a whole new flavor when you add just a couple of new ingredients: in this case those changes come through roasted halloumi and roasted pine nuts. Continue reading “Salad with halloumi and pine nuts”
