Karl’s Greek Lemon Pilaf II

Adapted from anonymous 

Usually when I make Greek lamb I make potatoes. Last Easter, I decided to try a Greek lemon rice pilaf recipe. It was good, but for my sister Karen I thought I could make it better for this Christmas Eve’s dinner.

Karl’s Greek Cold Fighting Chicken Soup

Jan has come down with a cold. When Jan gets a cold she drinks endless hot honey lemons (3-4 slices of lemon, 1 tsp. honey, plus hot water). It soothes the throat and the steam clears the sinuses.

Karl’s Greek Mushrooms

This week is barbecued lamb for Easter and the kids (except Eilene) love mushrooms.   I am frequently trying to find new ways to spice them up.

Za’atar is an herb blend found (in various blends) throughout the Middle East.  Apparently no one agrees on how to spell the translation (there are 9 variations) or which herb go into it (there are 4 possibilities for the primary herb, depending on the region of origin), but everyone knows they love it.

Karl’s Greek Lemon Pilaf

Adapted from anonymous 

Usually when I make Greek lamb I make potatoes. In fact, it is a bit of a rut. To break the mold, I looked for a Greek rice side dish. Finding one that was close on Food.com, I adapted it to my personal style. Jan doesn’t like white rice, so I switched to brown.  For my family there are never enough onions. And who can make a Greek dish without garlic and pepper?  Most of the other dishes would be heavy on the herbs, so just a little parsley as an accent in flavor and color.
