    In the UK we call them Spring Onions (green onions / scallions)
    Lovely salad – I’m trying to increase my lentil intake so this is great!
    Have you heard of Mujendra? Middle Eastern lentils with rice and fried onions

    We loved your pasta tortellini salad. This one looks interesting Just oil and white balsamic for the dressing? I think I'd add feta.

    Hi Dimitra, I love your channel, I was born dirt poor in Brazil but my father is Portuguese descent and a fantastic farmer, so growing up all the had was the amazing food he grew ( I thought that fava beans was a Brazilian red neck thing), so at age ten I could cook a shashuka, polenta and minestrone to perfection, I remember my grandmother ( Vovo), telling me can you cook that delicious soup, your uncle Amadeu ( my favorite don’t tell anyone) tries, I cannot hurt his feelings but no one does it like you, my best friend who is full on Italian loved it too, I look forward to my day off so that I can can cook, so when you add extra pepper and olive oil , I am saying yes, I just met my food twin, best wishes on your channel, family, etc

    Girl thank you, I almost bit my computer screen😊. It looks so delicious. I'll definitely be following you for new ideas

    If you put the cherry tomatoes between the bottom of two dinner plates and run your knife between the two plates, the cherry tomatoes are all cut in half in a jiffy. We do this all the time. Then you just pick the plate up and dump them into your mixing bowl.

    Could have married me with sincerity, very bad luck( I am always a good luck person, keep it up miss or misse chef

    Yes, some feta added to it will be excellent even though it looks excellent as is. Perfect now that it’s getting warmer.
