We love this quinoa tabbouleh on a hot summer day. Quinoa has a much nicer taste than bulgur and it's gluten-free so everyone can enjoy this Middle Eastern salad. The longer you let the tabbouleh sit, the better it tastes.

Papas Rellenas (Fried Stuffed Potatoes)
These papas rellenas were made by my mom when we were kids; I always loved them. Each time you make them, you can season them to taste so they're different every time!
Pesto alla Siciliana
This is the recipe for the authentic pesto from Sicily. It combines a traditional pesto with Sicilian delights: ricotta cheese and tomatoes. It has a light and refreshing flavor. Enjoy it with tubular pasta so the pesto finds its way inside the tubes for a burst of Sicilian flavor with every bite! Seeding the tomatoes first allows the mixture to be thicker so it sticks better to the pasta.
