This cool and healthy dip can be served along side rice and meat, or simply with bread. No Persian meal is complete without Maast-o khiar! This dish is best if refrigerated for a few hours, but if you are strapped for time feel free to serve after mixing. Don't be afraid to get creative! Try adding spinach, raisins, or walnuts. Other herbs could be used as well (i.e. mint, tarragon, oregano). More cucumbers, less shallots...it's your call! Enjoy!

- 1 clove garlic , minced

Pork Tenderloin Sandwich
A classic sandwich in the Midwest, particularly popular in Iowa and Indiana, but there are regional variations throughout the entire United States. I've always thought of this as a German schnitzel on a sandwich. It's crispy and crunchy... tender deliciousness!
Grilled Fish Steaks
Simple grilled fish fillets full of flavor thanks to an easy marinade made with fresh lemon juice and herbs. My husband is not much of a fish lover but when I cook these halibut fillets on the grill he always enjoys it!
Minestrone Casserole
This minestrone casserole, with fresh vegetables, canned beans, and pasta in a tomato sauce, topped with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, is a delicious new twist on minestrone soup.
