Beer-Battered Fish and Onion Rings
Jun 7, 2010
This ground beef dish is made special by adding a spice blend of paprika, ginger and cumin. Serve over a couscous for an easy-to-make dinner.
Is dad a meat-and-potatoes man who's not too keen on rice? Combine the rice with chicken, smoked sausage and shrimp in this taste-packed one-dish creole favourite, and we guarantee he'll enjoy it.
My mother told me that we cook the fish whole because it brings togetherness and abundance for the new year. So to this day, I always serve this with the head intact. The cheeks of the fish are most prized for their sweet succulence.
When in season, use summer squash varieties such as zephyr, gold bar or Italian zucchini in this simple vegetable medley.
This is a meatless version of the popular Vietnamese pho, a hearty beef-based noodle dish. To add meat, substitute paper-thin slices of top sirloin for the tofu. Serve with an assortment of fresh garnishes such as cilantro, sliced green onions, sliced chilies, bean sprouts and lime wedges.
This recipe is a quick and easy way to the warm comfort of traditional baked ziti without turning on your oven. Ground turkey or chicken can easily be used in place of beef. If you don't have Italian seasoning on hand, a mixture of dried rosemary, oregano and thyme will do the trick. Serve topped with chopped fresh parsley.
You can whip up this satisfying meal in minutes, but it tastes like it took hours of simmering. The three-ingredient lemony orzo soaks up the thick tomato-based sauce and gives the dish a citrusy zing. On another night, try the stew over rice or mashed potatoes.
The chunky Kalamata olive salsa adds a welcome touch of freshness to this tilapia dish. Use the same salsa recipe to top pan-fried chicken or spread on crusty bread as an appetizer on another night. Serve with lemon wedges.
This gorgeous little fruit is commonly found in the winter months and is often used in jams, jellies, pickles and now a flavourful chutney.
