Baked Manitoba Harvest Ratatouille

Baked Manitoba Harvest Ratatouille

May 12, 2009

This dish is inspired by the wonderful fresh produce from the Osbourne Village Farmer's Market which is across the street from my house in Winnipeg. The market is open Thursday nights from June to September and features only very local farmers, including some urban farmers. Each week my son and I would go to the market and buy one of each item available. Towards the middle of the summer I ended up with many varieties of peppers, summer squash, eggplant, tomatoes and herbs, so I developed this recipe to celebrate the Manitoba Harvest. All of these ingredients, with the exception of quinoa, are grown in Manitoba. Quinoa is an excellent source of iron and magnesium as well as one of the best vegetable sources of protein. Serve this dish with a slice of whole grain bread to complete the protein.

Ask your butcher to cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally, or simply do it yourself: With the knife blade parallel to the cutting board and your opposite hand on top of chicken, slice horizontally completely through the breast, keeping your knife parallel to the board to ensure an even cut.

Vegetarians, rejoice! This meat-free, dairy-free handheld treat will be the hit of the party. Kosher panko makes an ultracrispy crust that soaks up any moisture from the artichokes. For guests who don't feel like dipping, serve the artichokes with wedges of lemon to squeeze over top.

This white lasagna dish, made with bechamel instead of tomato sauce, makes a satisfying gift to a friend in need. Look for packages of mixed mushrooms (shiitake, oyster and cremini) or buy a selection of each.

Smoked Tomato Bruschetta With Canadian Gouda

Smoked Tomato Bruschetta With Canadian Gouda

Cooking the tomatoes low and slow infuses them with smoky flavour and makes this simple appetizer anything but average. Cocktail tomatoes, which are about an inch wide, are the ideal size for this recipe. Use strongly flavoured wood chips, such as hickory, for the best taste.

Rigatoni with Sausage and Peppers

This dish can be served with or without the basic Tomato Sauce. If one chooses to have it with tomatoe sauce it is best to make the sauce first so that as the sauce cooks and becomes flavourful the rest of the recipe can be prepared. Sauce can be made in advanced to save time and so flavours have a chance to blend, making the sauce tastier. I like to make it a day in advance or even have it ready in the freezer for other pasta dishes.

By Laurie Sadowski, winner, Vegetarian Protein category.

This fresh-tasting vegetarian dish impressed us because it is suitable for not only vegetarians but also vegans, as well as people who eat gluten- and dairy-free diets, making it perfect for gatherings of those with food allergies and intolerances. Nutritional yeast, such as that from Bob's Red Mill, can be found in health food and some grocery stores.
