Goat Cheese Roulade with Roasted Bell Peppers
- Details
- Written by Cynthia Presser
The roulade dough is a savory sponge cake really light in texture with a touch of Parmesan cheese for a great, nutty flavor. The filling is very creamy and the slightly sour bite from the goat cheese is complimented by the sweetness of the roasted red pepper. My good friend (and big time foodie) Geo made this for us while we were in Brazil a few months ago and I did not leave her alone until she gave me the recipe!

Coconut and Salmon Soup

Some of my favorite Brazilian ingredients are in this creamy soup: coconut milk, lime juice and cilantro. I created this recipe a copuple of years ago; and even as delicious as it is, I did not repeat it for a while until my husband decided that he wanted to try the paleo diet. That made me research back to some of my recipes that I had not touched in a while... Well, it was well worth it because my husband was raving about this dish after I made it for him - and for me too of course ;) This delicious soup is perfect for this time of year: rich and delicious, but also healthy! It fullfiled perfectly his "paleo demands" - which means no dairy or grains. This easy soup can also be served over rice, if you prefer.
