Unique and tidy to serve, corn-husk boats stuffed with harvest vegetables make an attractive side dish. Make them ahead and bake at the last minute for a carefree dinner.
Bursting with fresh flavours and bright colours, this summery main is a shoo-in for weeknight entertaining. Toast the couscous before cooking for a nice nutty flavour.
This dish takes about 25 minutes to make - just enough time to cook a pot of spinach noodles or potatoes to mash and serve alongside.
The sweetness of corn is complemented and elevated with smoky flavours from the ham and paprika chive crema topping. Frozen corn niblets never tasted so good!
Baking or grilling eggplant gives it a wonderfully smoky flavour and velvety texture. Serve on a platter with flatbreads and crusty bread.
Stir-fries are great summer meals - quick, healthy and popular with kids. Try this one from the "20-minute Suppers" story in our August 2004 issue.
For the most attractive result, strain the sauce before serving. Slices of the loaf with the sauce in a crusty roll also makes a scrumptious lunch.
Make weeknight dinners fun (for adults and kids) with these veggie-packed, tomato sauce–topped mini meat loaves. Cooking your potatoes on the stove top with the help of a little steam gets dinner on the table more quickly. Steamed green beans make a nice veggie side dish.
Making and canning your own salsa from scratch is much easier than you think – and a great way to use summer's best produce.
