Sheet pan dinners are always a winner, and this medley of shrimp, sausage and veggies is sure to be a hit with the family.
This piquant coating penetrates the beef, adding incredible flavour. You can use prepared horseradish or purchase a small piece of fresh horseradish root from the market. Start the Roasted Vegetables with the beef; then, when the roast is out of the oven resting, raise the temperature to crisp them.
A festive turkey dinner is absolutely delicious, but what to do with all the leftovers? Try this delicious sandwich to help you use up every last bit of the bird.
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.
Cooking potatoes in the microwave is a real time-saver for busy weeknights. For the skewers, use wooden ones that have been soaked in water for at least 20 minutes so they don't burn in the oven, or opt for metal skewers if you're short on time. Just be sure to remove them before serving, as they retain heat.
My family is very fortunate to have a "sugar bush" in Northern Ontario, where we make our own maple syrup every spring. As a result, it is usually plentiful so we use it pretty much everyday in baking and cooking. We think that everything tastes better with maple syrup! I serve the ribs with a side of long-grain brown and Canadian wild rice blend that I make up (3/4 brown to 1/4 wild), oven roasted squash and steamed green beans with toasted walnuts. Tip: this is a terrific recipe to make earlier in the day (up to the point of cooking it for one hour). Just cover the baking dish with foil and keep refrigerated until ready, then you can visit with your guests while it bakes. I also put the rice on at that time as it takes an hour to steam and the squash can go right in the oven, at the same time and temperature as the ribs as well. You just have to steam the beans for the last few minutes before the meal. I have been making this recipe for over eighteen years and everyone of every age loves it.
