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.
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.
Hosting friends while needing to accommodate for dietary restrictions can be tricky. Impress guests with a wholesome pasta dish that combines braised local duck with all the tastes of fall: sage, hazelnuts and butternut squash.
Stuffed turkey breast is the answer for small Easter dinners. Serve with Asparagus Mushroom Stir-Fry.
This Taiwanese specialty, in which fresh crab steams over cooking rice, is usually prepared in a large steamer, but I've adapted it to conveniently cook in an oven. Either long- or short-grain white sticky rice (also called glutinous rice) can be used.
Risotto is at its best when served straight from the stove, as it loses its silky texture while it sits. Roasted beets give this risotto its subtly sweet flavour. For the most beautifully hued dish, we've added the beets toward the end of cooking.
This recipe incorporates all the flavours of a charcuterie platter into a single dish. It can be difficult to cut this tender roast into thin slices, so separate the meat into chunks before serving. It will be much easier—and just as tasty! For a hearty meal, serve with mashed potatoes and our Quick Braised Red Cabbage.
This traditional roast goose with its richly flavoured dark meat is enhanced by the Chinese technique of searing the skin with boiling water and refrigerating the bird overnight to air-dry and ensure a glassy crisp skin.
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.
Toasted hazelnuts, vibrant parsley, a hint of orange and diced prosciutto get tucked under the skin of a turkey to make a super moist bird for your holiday table. It's not pretty work, but it's worth it to gently loosen the skin from the tops of the legs, too. This allows the flavour of the gremolata to permeate both the white and dark meat so no one misses out.
