Southern European

The Southern European category highlights cuisine and culinary culture from the sun-soaked regions bordering the Mediterranean in Southern Europe, think Italy (particularly Calabria and Campania), southern France, Spain, Greece, and beyond.

Within this category, the featured recipe posts showcase a delightful spectrum of bold flavors and hearty comforts: a spicy turkey meatball kale soup with a shawarma-inspired spice blend, lemony broth, kale, and toasted pine nuts (inspired by Middle Eastern and Mediterranean traditions).

A baked cheesy spicy tomato-basil chicken with broccolini, where pan-seared Italian-herbed chicken meets Calabrian-pepper tomato sauce, melted mozzarella, and crisp broccolini.

An air-fryer butternut squash, chickpea, and chicken soup, combining North African ras el hanout with roasted squash, chickpeas, spinach, and chicken in a creamy, spiced broth.

And an easy spicy Italian chicken sausage soup, an irresistibly savory one-pot featuring sweet Italian sausage, harissa-kissed broth, Roman grains like farro and Israeli couscous, vegetables such as broccolini and mushrooms, and a comforting blend of Mediterranean flavors.
