- <h1><a hef="http://www.canadianfamily.ca/recipe/grilled-haloumi-with-white-corn-apple-salsa/">Grilled Haloumi with White Corn and Apple Salsa</a></h1><br />
<br/><br />
<p>If you've never experienced the joy of a slice of warm Haloumi, it's definitely worth trying. This is the same cheese you might see served fried and lit on fire at Greek restaurants as saganaki. This version lightens things up by skipping the frying (and the fire) and serving the cheese warm with the fresh flavours of ouzo, corn and apple.</p><br />
<br/><br />
<p><b>Ouzo Tip:</b> Ouzo is a Greek anise-flavoured liquor. If you don't have it on hand, you can substitute with vodka and anise seed. One tablespoon of vodka plus 1/8 teaspoon of anise seed equals about 1 tablespoon of ouzo.</p> <br />

- <h1><a href="http://www.canadianfamily.ca/recipe/turkish-grilled-eggplant-and-peppers-with-tomatoe/">Turkish Grilled Eggplant and Peppers with Tomatoes and Sour Cream</a></h1><br />
<br/><br />
<p> The variety of flavours in this dish will blow you away. Serve with pitas toasted on the grill and you have a complete meal on your hands.</p><br />
<br/><br />
<p><b>Eggplant tip:</b> Salting sliced eggplants for at least 30 minutes before cooking (a process known as degorging) can remove bitterness and draw out moisture. Rinse off the "sweat" before you cook.</p><br />

<br/><br />
<p><b>Vinaigrette Tip:</b> If you want to improvise, the standard oil to vinegar ratio for vinaigrette is 3:1.</p><br />
