One-Pan Jerk Chicken Dinner

Very little prep is needed for this tasty one-dish dinner—simply toss together and bake! We've made our own jerk spice, which will keep for months in a sealed container, but you can also look for a prepared mix in the international section or spice aisle of your grocery store. Serve with our Pineapple Salad.

Scallop & Mushroom pie

Scallops and mushrooms work beautifully together in this pie, and the addition of sherry gives it a lovely warming flavour.

Meaty yet tender, with a subtle flavour, scallops are a popular delicacy in Northern Ireland, whose coastal waters and sea loughs have long been a plentiful source. The name scallop, derived from the French escalope, means “shell,” and it’s in the bivalve’s distinctive shell that this pie is traditionally served. Scallops go well with hearty flavours such as bacon, chorizo and black pudding, and can be sautéed in butter, skewered and barbecued, or stir-fried.

Lentil & Vegetable Pie

Grilled Pork and Plums With Sticky Five-Spice Sauce

Plums might not be the first fruit you think to grill, but their gorgeous burgundy skin gets even prettier as the natural sugars caramelize. The sweetness pairs well with grilled pork and this aromatic sauce full of warming spices.

Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura

The secret to making the lightest and crispiest tempura is using club soda in the batter. To achieve the best texture, you’ll also want to use the batter right after mixing. Serve with a bit of sea salt, or with a mix of tempura sauce and grated daikon for dipping.

Bengal-Style Fish Curry

This curry is based on the techniques and flavours of Bengali cuisine, which is noted for its many fish dishes. A firm-fleshed freshwater or saltwater fish is needed here: Tilapia or ocean perch fillets will do quite well. Serve with rice.

Braised Chinese Beef and Daikon With Noodles

“This is my take on a wintertime favourite that's served in my childhood home,” says Food specialist Irene Fong. “My dad loves this braised beef with noodles, but it's just as good served over rice.” We've used brisket here because it's unbelievably tender when braised.

Cold Peanut Chicken Rolls

These rolls are a great choice for nights when you crave something light yet satisfying. For a twist, we’ve swapped out traditional rice noodles for protein-dense quinoa.
