Serve ramekins of this classic comfort food on napkin-lined side plates with demitasse or small dessert spoons.
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.
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.
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 recipe is a bit labour-intensive, but it makes two pans – one to eat tonight and another that freezes beautifully for another time.
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.
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.
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.
