This vegetarian dinner party menu lets the host relax

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:25:47 GMT

By David Tanis, The New York TimesMost of the time, I take a very casual approach to having guests for dinner. I don’t mind doing a little cooking while people hang out in the kitchen; in fact, I enjoy it.But sometimes, it’s more relaxing to have the entire menu ready, especially if some of it can be cooked a day in advance. This is one of those menus. It takes a little work to put together, but comes with great reward: There’s barely any last-minute fussing.In Morocco — and similarly throughout the Middle East — the most delicious salads are made with seasoned, cooked vegetables, not leafy greens. For a first course, I made a smoky eggplant salad with cilantro, infused with cumin, hot pepper and a generous amount of olive oil. It’s a winning combination.Seriously blackening the eggplants — preferably very firm ones, with fewer seeds — under the broiler achieves the perfect smoky flavor. Once they collapse from the intense heat, you scrape away the charred skin, then shr...

Policies locked in the past could cost Bulgaria dearly

A 2013 EU Commission review of the Bulgarian energy sector noted the country’s “high energy intensity, low energy efficiency, and deficient environmental infrastructure hamper business activity and competitiveness”, writes Dick Roche.Ten years on state state-owned enterprises still retain a stranglehold on Bulgaria’s electricity assets including power generation and transmission, creating a structure that the EU Commission has flagged as inconsistent with the requirements of the Regulation dealing with the EU internal market for electricity.  In Bulgaria’s gas sector, the stranglehold is even worse.  From the outside, Bulgaria’s energy structure looks like an entrenched bureaucracy dedicated to its own objectives, rather than the interests of the Bulgarian people,  a long way from the model favoured by EU law.  Protecting the Status Quo The dogged determination to protect the status quo is strikingly demonstrated by a series of events ove...

The Granada declaration

We, the Leaders of the European Union, have gathered in Granada to mark the start of the process to define the Union’s general political directions and priorities for the years to come, setting a strategic course of action to shape our common future for the benefit of all. We reiterate the original promise of the European project to ensure peace, stability and prosperity for our citizens, guided by our values and principles, fundamental rights, democracy, and the rule of law. The Strategic Agenda agreed in June 2019 has been our guide for action. The pandemic and Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine have tested our resilience, highlighting the need for the Union to enhance its sovereignty and leading us to take major decisions to protect our people and our economies. Following our meeting in Versailles, we have acted decisively. Threatened with energy blackmail, we have greatly reduced our dependencies and diversified our sources. Faced with tightening supply chains and intern...
