Balkan Breakfast

A Balkan breakfast is a shared plate in the spirit of Bulgaria, Serbia and their neighbours: fried sudzuk sausage, eggs, salty white cheese, ajvar, olives and raw vegetables, torn bread on the side. There is no single traditional "Balkan breakfast": the name became known through social media, and this is one way to put that plate together at home.

Insalata di Finocchi e Arance (Sicilian Fennel and Orange Salad) with fennel, oranges and black olives — Italy recipe

🇮🇹ItalyEasy

Salads

Insalata di Finocchi e Arance (Sicilian Fennel and Orange Salad)

Insalata di finocchi e arance is a classic Sicilian salad of thinly sliced fennel and oranges, dressed with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, with black olives. It is the contrast of sweet, juicy orange and crisp, anise-scented fennel — bright and refreshing. It comes from Sicily, where most of Italy's citrus is grown, and the orange salad is a legacy of the Arab rule of the island (9th-11th centuries): it was the Arabs who brought citrus into Sicilian cooking. It is a winter dish, since oranges (especially blood oranges, tarocchi) are in season in winter, served as an antipasto or contorno through the cold months. The salad is a fine example of Sicilian agrodolce, sweet and salty: the sweetness of the orange balanced by salty black olives and crisp fennel. Technical keys: peel the oranges to the flesh, cutting away the bitter white pith; slice the fennel very thinly; let the acidity come from the orange, not vinegar; black olives for the agrodolce contrast; blood oranges for the classic Sicilian version; and good fruity olive oil, since there are few ingredients. Save the orange juice that runs out — it is the base of the dressing. Serve at room temperature, the best winter citrus, sliced thin, with excellent oil.

Ají de Gallina (Peruvian Creamy Chicken) with chicken breast, aji amarillo paste and walnuts — Peru recipe

Meat Dishes

Ají de Gallina (Peruvian Creamy Chicken)

Ají de gallina is one of Peru's most cherished comfort dishes — shredded poached chicken folded into a velvety golden sauce built on ají amarillo, the fruity yellow chili at the heart of Peruvian cooking. Milk-soaked bread and ground walnuts thicken it, while parmesan adds a salty, umami edge. Mildly spicy and rich, it's spooned over rice with boiled yellow potatoes, olives, and hard-boiled egg — a fusion of Spanish and Andean roots.

Bacalhau à Brás (Portuguese Salt Cod with Eggs and Potatoes)

Bacalhau à Brás is a Portuguese dish of salt cod, matchstick potatoes and eggs, by tradition credited to a Lisbon tavern-keeper named Brás. The cod is soaked for 24 to 48 hours in the fridge (not counted in the time) and pulled into threads, the potatoes go in just before the eggs, and the eggs work as a binder — creamy rather than scrambled.

Causa Limeña with yellow potatoes, ají amarillo paste and lime juice — Peru recipe

🇵🇪PeruMedium

Appetizers and Sandwiches

Causa Limeña

Causa limeña is a cold Peruvian starter of layered mashed yellow potato seasoned with ají amarillo and lime, filled with chicken or tuna in mayonnaise and slices of avocado. The potato is worked with oil into a pliable, saffron-coloured dough, and because the dish is assembled in a mould and cut, it holds its shape on the plate; crab or prawn also work as the filling. By one account the name comes from the Quechua word kawsay, meaning sustenance, though a legend tying it to the War of the Pacific is told as well. Chilling (at least 2 hours) comes on top of the stated time.
