Last week we took a bit of a detour with the weekly recipe contest and threw our readers a curveball – quinoa.  This “ancient grain” has suddenly become a trendy ingredient.   We received a wide variety of recipe submissions with creative ways to use quinoa, but one unique preparation stood out to our judges, sliders!

These meatless mini-burgers are made with black beans and, of course, quinoa.  They come with a kick because of a spicy mayo spread as well as a jalapeño and corn salsa.  Believe me, you will want to make these “Quinoa and Black Bean Burger Sliders” this weekend!

Pasta alla Norma – Sicilian Pasta Sauce Recipe

1 Comment | Written on March 1, 2013 at 5:00 am , by

“Pasta alla Norma” is a classic Italian recipe from the city of Catania on the island of Sicily.  It is a vegetarian dish made with eggplant and often tossed with penne pasta.

It is served with ricotta salata, which is a varation of ricotta that has been pressed, salted and dried.  Some like to shave or grate it into dishes, but I have always preferred it cubed.   It looks beautiful for presentation, and it makes me look forward to each bite!  If you can’t find ricotta salata at your local grocery store, you can subsitute smoked mozzarella.
