Meinhardt's Lamb Curry

Linda Meinhardt's kitchen is modelled after a philosophy of passion in cooking, using quality fresh ingredients for bold and innovative tastes. These qualities have made Meinhardt Fine Foods a gourmet — foodstuffs and takeout — counter destination of choice in the Vancouver area. Here is an example of the innovative and well-tuned flavours that characterize Meinhardt's kitchen. Lamb or beef, whichever you prefer, is treated to a fusion of Eastern and Western ingredients. If you want to freeze the curry for up to two weeks, omit the potatoes and add boiled potatoes to the curry when reheating.

Sizzling Piri-Piri Shrimp and Chorizo Kabobs

Portuguese piri-piri sauces and dry spice rubs are rife with heat and zesty flavour. While piri-piri is made from a variety of ingredients, it's the fiery chili and fresh citrus that really stand out. These kabobs make everything sizzle.

Japanese Calamari with Wasabi Mayo

This calamari is speckled with flecks of sweet nori and served with a tasty dipping sauce that packs a punch. Add the wasabi paste to the mayo a little at a time so you can adjust the amount to suit your taste. Deep-frying is best done in batches for the most consistent results; adding too much calamari at once will bring down the temperature of the oil.

White Balsamic-Glazed Salmon with Corn and Sugar Snap Pea Salad

Summer is not summer without corn on or off the cob. Here's a new way to enjoy it – in a salad with a hint-of-heat jalapeño dressing and some crispy glazed salmon.

Chicken & Cilantro Rice Burritos

These burritos are loaded with beautifully seasoned chicken from our roasted chicken & veggies, as well as cilantro and your choice of Big Batch White Rice or Big Batch Brown Rice.

Vietnamese Vermicelli with Grilled Beef

Rice vermicelli is easy to find among the Asian noodles in an increasing number of grocery stores. You can substitute 2 cups (500 mL) rinsed drained cooked vermicelli pasta.

Smoky Chicken Burgers With Snap Pea Slaw

Never fear dry chicken burgers again. Using your meat thermometer will result in a brilliantly juicy patty every time. Topping this burger with smoky chipotle mayo and sweet sugar snap pea slaw adds great crunch and a hit of spice.

Turkey Dumplings with Bean Sprout Salad

Make-Ahead Beef Enchiladas

Slow-cooker dishes like these hearty enchiladas are real lifesavers during the lead-up to the holidays. The filling simmers away untended in the slow cooker all day, which frees you up for other things (or gives you a much-needed night off!).

Crab Spring Rolls

Fresh spring rolls filled with noodles, crab, vegetables and tons of herbs served with a sweet-and-sour sauce is a great communal recipe — everyone can take turns wrapping a couple. This type of roll, originally a Vietnamese specialty, is so popular that it has become ubiquitous in Thai restaurants.
