My family is very health conscious, I try to prepare meals that are high in flavour and low in fat. This recipe is economical and delicious. My inspiration came after having Butter Chicken at a restaurant with my husband. Both of us loved it. but Butter Chicken is very high in calories and fat. I decided to cook up my own version with less fat and more good things like vegetables and tomato sauce.
I like to serve this with couscous on the side and warmed pita bread. To prepare the pita, I mix olive oil and minced fresh garlic, brush this onto each pita, then stack them together and wrap tightly in foil. Then I bake them for 20 minutes at 375 F. My son uses the pita as a wrap, filling the pita with the chicken mixture!
This Chinese-style stew is wonderful served over noodles or rice. If you wish, you can add reconstituted dried shiitake mushrooms and use the soaking liquid to replace the same amount of water in the recipe. You also can make this stew with any game meat.
I always loved Beef Stroganoff, but it was a little daunting to make. I would have to cook all day to serve my guests. I took the basic flavours of the recipe and made it so easy, we can even have it during the week.
These festive drop cookies are both chewy and crisp. Pressing the balled cookie dough directly into the sprinkles performs a dual purpose: It allows for better sprinkle coverage and helps to flatten the dough a bit before baking.
This healthy take on fried rice mixes brown rice with a variety of tasty veggies. Shiitake mushroom stems are tougher than the delicate caps but packed with flavour, so reserve them for homemade vegetable stock. Use the stock as a base for mushroom soup or substitute for the vegetable broth in this recipe.
This one-dish meal comes together quickly, so be sure to have all of the prep finished before you start cooking. If you don't like spice, omit the chili garlic paste, or serve it as a condiment on the side. You can easily double this to make four servings.
Grilled sardines is perhaps the most iconic dish of Portuguese cuisine. Here it is served in a simple yet elegant way.
This composed whole meal salad is a classic from the city of Nice in the south of France. In this version, the tuna is grilled rare for a fresh update. However, you can use 3 cans (each 6 oz/170 g) solid white tuna instead. You can prepare all the cooked ingredients and dressing and hold, covered and refrigerated, for up to 1 hour.
Lettuce cups are a fun (and easy!) way to enjoy this speedy stir-fry, but you can also serve it over steamed rice with a drizzle of the hoisin dressing.
