Baked Chicken with Peaches
May 3, 2011
A "cheater" risotto made by covering with a lid during cooking takes less effort than the traditional stirred method but is still rich and creamy. Make the mix at home, then add fresh onion and Parmesan cheese at the campsite. If you like, add pieces of dried sausage or beef jerky with the last addition of water.
This easy lunch also doubles as an after-school snack. Let the kids dictate the toppings. Try switching the cheese to smoked provolone, Cheddar or Fontina.
There's no halfway with this layered caramel and silky chocolate ganache tart. While it takes a little more time to prepare than some desserts, none of the steps is difficult, and the end result is pure, delicious pleasure.
Spoon this handy tomato sauce over Three-Cheese Polenta Pie, into lasagna or over pasta with a grate or two of cheese.
Dress up simple baked potatoes with tender shredded pork smothered in a sweet, chunky sauce. Microwaving the potatoes makes this recipe lightning-fast, but oven-roasted potatoes – if you have time to make them – are just as tasty with crispier skin.
Sumac, a fragrant and tangy Middle Eastern spice, adds tons of flavour to the simple dressing in this salad. If you can't find it on store shelves, substitute with sweet paprika. Also, feta makes a suitable stand-in for firm, salty halloumi. To enjoy this salad on the go, pack the dressing in a separate airtight container. Right before eating, drizzle the dressing over the salad, reseal the container and shake to coat.
