Skip the takeout line and whip up this Asian-inspired stir-fry at home, instead. It's the perfect dish for using up odds and ends that are kicking around in the fridge, so feel free to switch up the veggies or substitute the shrimp for sliced chicken breast on days when you're too busy to grocery shop.
Chock-full of a variety of seafood, fish and vegetables, this rich soup is inspired by a similar chowder served at the Masstown Market, near Truro, N.S. Enjoy a hearty bowlful with Buttermilk Biscuits.
Shredded pork is so easy to make in the slow cooker you'll wonder why you don't have it all the time. Braised shoulder is easiest to pull apart when still warm, so don't let it stand too long when it comes out of the slow cooker.
Pot barley is the whole grain of barley that has only the outer inedible hull removed. It takes longer to cook than the polished pearl barley, but it's more nutritious because it still has its bran and germ intact.
Soba noodles, which are made with buckwheat flour, are delicious hot or cold. In this dish, the chicken breast is sliced thinly, so a little goes a long way. If you find the chicken difficult to slice, try putting it in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up a bit.
Make this entire meal in one Dutch oven by cooking each element consecutively. The sauce is enhanced by the browned bits that are left in the pan after cooking the steaks. The couscous takes minutes to prepare, making this dinner a go-to for time-pressed evenings.
