This is a nice hot dish served with a plain rice and a salad. Very tasty and satisfying. Served to company and they raved about it.
Roasting turkey on the barbecue is surprisingly easy. Perhaps the crisp-skinned, bronzed bird, with its hint of smokiness, will create a whole new tradition as guests watch the grill instead of the television. It also frees up space in the oven for accompaniments, such as stuffing and vegetables.
As the winter darkness spills into day, the kitchen brightens with cold-weather favourites. But lest you think this means fiddling with pastry, read on for a pie with a new twist — an ever-so-easy scrunched-up phyllo topping. Chicken Pot Pie has never been more delicious.
This hot and spicy stir-fry comes together faster than ordering takeout. It's also a great way to use up any veggies lingering in your fridge. Serve it over your favourite noodles, brown rice or whole grains.
Risotto is generally a labour of love. Our shortcut version eliminates most of the stove-top stirring, but produces equally silky results and turns ho-hum turkey leftovers into a special meal. Make sure to serve the risotto as soon as it's done cooking; as it stands, it thickens quickly and loses some of its creamy texture.
Using ground beef instead of stir-fry beef keeps the cost down. Day-old rice works best, so if you can, cook it in advance. Cost: $3.25/serving
A healthy and nourishing dish that's packed with flavour.
Cauliflower purée adds velvety texture without the need for whipping cream, resulting in a lighter, healthier chowder. Be sure to remove the vent from your blender lid and cover the hole with a tea towel to relieve any pressure caused by blending the hot soup.
Not all soba noodles are created equal. Check the ingredient list on the package to make sure your noodles have been made with 100 percent buckwheat flour. (Many brands use a mix of buckwheat and regular wheat flour.) Look for gluten-free soba noodles in health food stores.
