You won't believe how tasty and easy it is to make this classic dish in your slow cooker. A piping bag - or plastic bag - makes easy work of stuffing the manicotti. Serve with a tossed salad and garlic bread for an easy family-style dinner.
Chicken breasts marinated with ginger, garlic and aromatic spices make for a flavourful dinner. This dish tastes better the longer it marinates, so leave it overnight if you can. Serve with our Marinated Chickpea Salad. Stuff any leftovers in a pita pocket for a quick lunch.
It's easy to make your own Caesar salad dressing, seen here in this creamy version which includes white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worchestershire, garlic, fresh Parmesan and croutons. You can omit the anchovy paste if you like, but we recommend it for a more robust flavour.
With a nice hint of garlic, these potatoes are a delicious addition to any meal and are much lighter than those with a cream-laden gratin. To slice them easily, cut a little piece off the bottom of each potato to stabilize it on the cutting board. Serve with your favourite baked fish or chicken.
This simple and flavourful pasta dish offers a nice twist on traditional pesto with locally sourced walnuts and Valbert cheese from the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region. Made with baby arugula, garlic and olive oil, this recipe can easily be whipped up for family and friends to enjoy.
Persillade, a simple French mixture of parsley and garlic, adds elegance and flavour to meat. A pork roast is perfect for entertaining a small group since this cut is inexpensive but looks impressive. Choose either a six-bone rib roast or a centre-cut loin, which is usually cheaper.
Instead of the same old boiled broccoli, try a slow saute. A kick of garlic and pancetta brings this healthy green back to life. With 1 cup (250 mL) cooked broccoli serving up more vitamin C than a glass of orange juice, there's no more delicious way to boost immunity.
Pesto is traditionally an uncooked sauce made of fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese and olive oil. Prior to the days of food processors, the ingredients were crushed using a mortar and pestle. This fresh-tasting sauce is an ideal topper for pasta, pizza, bruschetta, grilled meats and more.
