¼ cup minced red onion
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 tablespoons reduced-fat cream cheese (neufch
8 slices pumpernickel bread, toasted
8 slices tomato
2 large leaves romaine lettuce, cut in half

Directions

Pork

Garlic Pork Tenderloin with Mushroom Gravy

One of my family's favorites. If you aren't a garlic fan, pass on this one. A diet breaker, but worth it. Pork tenderloin are often sold 2 to a bag, so they are perfect for this dish. Serve extra gravy with mashed potatoes.

Noodles & Pasta

Pastitsio IV

A Greek-style baked pasta layered with seasoned ground meat, tubular pasta, and a creamy béchamel sauce. Hearty and comforting, similar to lasagna but with a Mediterranean twist.

Desserts

Dessert Crêpes

Emeril Lagasse's easy recipe is also great if you're looking for a sweet breakfast treat.

Fish & Seafood

Chopped Kitchen Sink Salad with Yogurt Dressing & Bottarga

This isn’t a shy salad: It should be a combination of many elements—the seasonal vegetables, a powerful dressing, and a crunchy textural accent. For me it’s the perfect way to repurpose leftovers into something new and delicious, and a great way to avoid wasted food.
