This icy granita makes more than you'll need for 24 oysters, but you can freeze the remainder – or serve more oysters!
This lightly spiced meat loaf borrows flavours from North Africa. If you don't have couscous on hand, substitute 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs. You'll find harissa, a fiery hot sauce, in Middle Eastern grocery stores and some supermarkets.
This pesto has very little oil, yet it still has a rich texture and nutty flavour from the sunflower seeds.
Legumes such as chickpeas are an essential part of vegetarian dishes. They are versatile, high in fibre and protein and have no cholesterol and little fat. They also provide a nutty taste to these patties.
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.
Whether you choose the long soak method or the quick and convenient canned bean method, this Southwestern-inspired soup will take the chill off a cold day.
Serve with: Egg noodles; sprinkle with chopped fresh coriander.
