Chili Con Carne
Nov 7, 2023
Caribou is one of the staple ingredients in Nunavut cooking. It's classified as country food; or food from the land, and it's one of the only truly wild meats. Caribou is sometimes available at specialty meat shops across Canada or by special order directly from purveyors in Nunavut. Availability can vary from season to season, so if you can't find caribou, then elk, venison or beef can make a delicious substitute. Serve with Bannock.
Serve this chili-inspired stew with baked white or sweet potatoes, crusty whole grain rolls, rice or couscous.
Chock-full of a variety of seafood, fish and vegetables, this rich soup is inspired by a similar chowder served at the Masstown Market, near Truro, N.S. Enjoy a hearty bowlful with Buttermilk Biscuits.
Create a flavourful, intense broth using a whole chicken, then use it in a hearty soup for dinner. Serve with whole grain bread and a tossed salad. Use extra chicken and soup for sandwiches and soup lunches during the week.
This family favourite comes together in only 35 minutes, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
This velvety, nutty-textured soup tastes almost too rich to be meatless, but it is! For a slightly thinner, dairy-free version, replace butter with additional olive oil and replace cream with almond, rice or soy milk.
Alongside turkey and gravy, stuffing is always a favourite on the Thanksgiving table. Here, we used sourdough bread and added Granny Smith apples to create a stuffing worthy of making every year.
Sweet chestnuts and meaty mushrooms add fall flavour to an otherwise classic stuffing. Look for ready-to-eat peeled whole chestnuts in the grocery store.
A tender, cheese-flavoured topping gives plain old chili a lift. Though it's a bit of work, the effort will be well appreciated.
