Risotto is most fluid and creamy immediately after it has finished cooking, so if you're not serving it right away, stir in 1/2 cup (125 mL) additional stock or water before reheating. Serve with extra cheese at the table.
A crown roast is the perfect cut for tableside carving – and offers great value for feeding a crowd in style.
Pork tenderloin makes a leaner yet flavourful substitute in this lighter take on pork chops and gravy. If you like, use shiitake, oyster or portobello
mushrooms in place of the cremini mushrooms.
Red lentils are a budget-friendly source of fibre and protein, and they cook from dried in no time. Serve with hot sauce for drizzling over top and warm naan for dipping into the soft egg yolk. Cost: $3 per serving
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.
The size of the shrimp doesn't matter in these pastries. However, choose raw shrimp rather than cooked to ensure they don't overcook when baked.
The best part of fondue is customizing it! Because this is made with bittersweet chocolate, you may want to stir in extra honey for sweetness. Add pinches of cinnamon, cayenne and chilli powder, and even a splish-splash of rich coffee or orange liqueur for a more complex flavour. We love how dairy-free coconut milk makes this taste just as rich and creamy as traditional fondue. And always be sure to check the package to ensure the chocolate is 100% dairy free.
Our set-and-forget version of this classic Easter dish is a win-win: Your oven is free to make the holiday ham and the slow cooker's gentle heat creates incredibly tender and creamy potatoes. You'll need at least a six-quart slow cooker for this recipe.
We love serving roasted potatoes for any holiday meal, but if you're looking to switch up your sides this year, we can't recommend these cakes enough. Creamy polenta becomes a crispy bite-size side when cooled, cubed and browned in a skillet.
