This coin-size take on a Hanukkah staple is crispy, golden and addictive. A food processor fitted with a grater blade makes easy work of the vegetables, but you can use a box grater too. We've made a traditional applesauce for dipping, but you can also serve these latkes with nondairy pareve sour cream or our Lemon Herb Dip.
Food culture in Manitoba has been influenced largely by the influx of eastern European settlers to the province. Foods such as borscht, cabbage rolls, garlic sausage and, of course, perogies appear across Manitoba. These perogies are time-consuming but entirely worth the effort. Serve them with a hefty dollop of sour cream (and some fried garlic sausage if you can find it).
This chili takes the best flavours of a traditional Mexican soup of the same name and turns them into a hearty chili that sticks to your ribs and works great for leftovers. If you like it spicy, add extra jalapeños or use a spicier green salsa. Serve topped with sour cream, avocado and fresh cilantro. Stretch this chili even further by serving it over rice.
Our classic recipe for hearty cabbage rolls is a labour of love that won't disappoint. Use two smaller cabbages rather than one large head, as the leaves will be more consistent in size. The best leaves for rolling are in the middle of the head, so save the outer ones for coleslaw or soup. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a little fresh dill.
I chose this dish because it is so rich and satisfying, that even the biggest meat-eaters wouldn't miss the meat. It's hard to find a good vegetarian Chili Recipe, and I believe this is the best out there. It focuses on complex flavors and it screams "Canadian". A big bowl of chili is the ultimate comfort food. I serve this will a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream on top, and a sprig of fresh cilantro. And of course with one of my Honey Buttermilk Beer Buns (recipe follows) on the side. This is hands-down the best vegetarian chili out there!
Roasted and stir-fried vegetables are layered between flavoured quinoa to create a healthy and colourful take on vegetarian lasagna. My middle daughter is the lone vegetarian in a household of meat lovers. I find lately I've been incorporating more and more vegetarian options into our meals. It's easier on the family budget, the environment and our collective waistlines! That being said, I do find it more difficult to find a vegetarian meal that is "company worthy". This recipe, created with local veggies, is substantial enough to satisfy meat eaters and impressive enough for a casual dinner with friends. While I love how nutritious quinoa is, I sometimes find it a bit bland. Mixing the quinoa layers with 3 different sauces adds a flavour boost. Use the vegetables listed or try ones that are in season in your local area. If you select items that are fresh and colourful you can't go wrong. While the ingredient list looks long don't be daunted, most of the work is building the lasagna layers and the preparation is not complicated. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a light green salad for a delicious, healthy and budget-friendly (under $40 including salad) dinner with friends.
