- Fried Eggs
- Bulgarian Feta Cheese
- Basil
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Shallots
Heating up tomatoes and shallots in a skillet provides a nice warmth to an already perfect vegetable.
Shallots do not always need to be cooked, their sweet taste is in my opinion an elegant flavor to the often harsh reality of standard onions that we normally use. Though shallots have a majority of the same characteristics and are a perfect substitute I think they deserve more credit as a better raw food option.
Cherry Tomatoes (nature's candy) can never go wrong. I recommend heating them up till they just start to burst at the seams. This will guarantee a properly heated tomato through the center.
Bulgarian Feta Cheese I believe has a stronger taste over Greek Feta. In most all cases that I am looking to use feta cheese I am interested in really showing that flavor and making sure that it does not get over come by the accompanying flavors in the meal.
Basil, must I really say anything more? Besides being a great companion to multiple dishes stalks of Basil leaves also bring great attributes to floral bouquets.
