Stout, Beef & Potato Pie
Jan 29, 2025
This is a great alternative to a whole bird for an intimate holiday dinner. You will need about a 2-1/2 lb (1.125 kg) bone-in skin-on turkey breast to yield the right amount of meat. Ask your butcher or the meat department of the grocery store to bone it for you if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.
This recipe is a bit labour-intensive, but it makes two pans – one to eat tonight and another that freezes beautifully for another time.
A bit of pesto adds complexity to this quick sauce, without the need to simmer it for hours. This recipe feeds a larger group, so it's perfect for easy entertaining, but it can easily be halved for an everyday dinner. Top the ragù with a bit of extra shaved Parmesan, if desired. Serve with our Sautéed Kale with Golden Raisins.
Better than frozen from the grocery store, this lasagna's fresh-tasting vegetables will appeal to vegetarians and meat eaters alike.
Rich and sumptuous, this simple slow cooker dish becomes a superstar any day of the week. We wouldn’t blame you if you indulged in a second helping. It’s that good.
This hearty broth-and-seafood combination has vibrant colour as well as terrific flavour. Choose thick (1 inch/2.5 cm) fish fillets.
Bánh mì are crusty French-style buns stuffed with a classic explosion of Vietnamese flavours and textures – sweet and sour, crunchy and soft. To liven things up a bit, we've switched the traditional grilled pork filling for lean flank steak. Plus we use liverwurst as a readily available substitute for the Vietnamese pâté that is spread on the bottom of each bun. For adults, or the adventurous little foodie in your house, add hot chili peppers for an extra kick.
Pickerel and wild rice, two of the most iconic foods of Manitoba, are paired in this dish. The simple, creamy pan sauce pulls them together. This entrée is ideal for a casual Manitoba-style dinner party, but perfectly suited for a weeknight meal, too.
Bits of savoury bacon make lean bison meatballs extra indulgent. We use boxed beef stock instead of broth for a more concentrated, meaty flavour. If you like, substitute lean ground beef for the bison. To keep the meatballs warm throughout the party, place them in a small slow cooker set on low heat.
