Eggplant Provolone Panini

Pan-Fried Tilapia With Herbed Yogurt Sauce

Treat delicate white fish, such as tilapia or pickerel as simply as possible, such as pan-frying with salt and pepper, and serve with steamed vegetables. This yogurt sauce complements the fish extremely well but it is also great with curries.

Broccoli Frittata

Steaming then lightly caramelizing the broccoli gives added flavour. Serve the frittata hot or at room temperature with an arugula and tomato salad. Save the remaining broccoli stems for a stir-fry, or to add to salad or coleslaw.

Sweet Chili Chicken

Warm and comforting, this colourful, ginger-scented, sweet and spicy chicken is best served with a bowl of plain steamed rice accompanied by stir-fried broccoli or bok choy.

Roasted Pork Tenderloin With Red Onion Gravy

Roasted root vegetables, such as potatoes, are the perfect side dish for this tenderloin. Start roasting them on a rimmed baking sheet 15 minutes before starting the pork. Nestle the pork next to the vegetables when you transfer it to the oven.

Lamb Curry With Peas

Indian curries come in many variations and consistencies. Some are thin and soupy, some rich and saucy and others thick and chunky, like this one. Serve this flavourful curry with warmed naan bread, Greek pita or hot cooked rice. Yogurt makes a cool accompaniment.

Coriander Pork Skewers and Red Onion Salsa

The bay leaves are used just for flavour and are not to be eaten. If you don't have hot paprika, use 3/4 tsp (4 mL) paprika and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) cayenne pepper.
