I live in Texas and it is going to be 107 degrees tomorrow so Im going to make it tomorrow morning so I won't have to suffer in the afternoon in a hot kitchen to fix dinner.

Thank you for helping me in my Mediterranean diet journey….can you tell me which countertop blender you used on this video ?

@mediterraneanminutes Жыл бұрын

HI JoAnne, I better put a disclaimer in videos that show this little blender. I get asked about it all the time and have never found a similar model available in the US. I bought it at a grocery store in Spain after lots of looking myself, having seen one like it in a video from Turkey. Two things I like that you may find similar: the glass bowl and the high power. Good luck in your search! Cheers, Caroline

@515aleon Жыл бұрын

My vote is yes, have made a Chef John version of the Italian and also I've made Brian Langerstrom's (chef channel) Italian salad. I thought it would be a nice pasta salad though. Both are quite similar, but add salami. I think next time will add some chicken or turkey instead.for more protein. Btw, I would love to find the mild red pepper paste. I have just processed some red pepper and that's not bad. I will try the Spanish one sometime in tomato season. Just think the tomatoes in June aren't so good here.

@mediterraneanminutes Жыл бұрын

Hi JJ! How nice to hear from you again…your personal twists sound like great ideas. And you’re smart to hold off on the SPanish one until you can find tomatoes with flavor, which I totally get…hang on until August to really give this one a fair shake in the flavor department! Cheers, Caroline

Hi GreenLady! So sorry to report that I just can’t find a model online that comes close to this one I bought at a Spanish grocery store a few years ago. You might have better luck than I did hunting for a source to recommend. I like it because of its glass bowl, powerful motor and so easy to clean for most evceryday tasks.Many people have asked about it in previous videos…maybe I should stop showing it!!!

Hello from Texas! Your recipes are such an inspiration. I'm curious about the blender/processor you use at about 4:00. I looked on your Amazon page, but don't see it. Thanks.

@mediterraneanminutes Жыл бұрын

HI Texas and thanks for joining in the conversation. Great question that I’ve been asked a few times. Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to find a similar machine available in the US and it’s a pity because this little one has just the right amount of power to manage most anything and it cost me less than $20 here in Spain. I wish I had better news but I’ve looked and looked and just can’t come up with anything that is like it. I would suggest you look for something with a lot of wattage so it has enough power to get tougher jobs done too. An immersion blender or nutribullet would also work easily for dressings and sauces. Cheers, Caroline
