Serving these super-size falafel in lettuce leaves makes them extra-light (and gluten-free!), but if you don't mind the extra calories, use pitas or hamburger buns. Customize the toppings to your taste—sprouts, thinly sliced red onion and pickled turnip are all great options.
Boston lettuce makes the perfect wrap for this pork stir-fry. Leaf lettuce makes a good substitute, but other less flexible lettuces, such as iceberg, may be harder to wrap. Keep your washed lettuce crisp by storing between sheets of damp paper towels in an airtight container or plastic bag.
Using a food processor ensures that these cakes come together in minutes – perfect for even your busiest weeknight. If you bake some crisp oven fries as a side dish, you may want to double the dip.
Fresh-from-the-cob corn comes alive in these southern-style fritters. Biting into the sweet, juicy kernels is a flavour explosion like no other. Use a splatter screen when frying, as the corn can pop right out of the pan.
Eating this tender chicken steeped in Caribbean flavour makes you feel like you're on an island vacation any time of the year. Serve with fresh pineapple slices. You can also use chicken legs.
