Polpette, or Italian meatballs, are fantastic with a side of sautéed rapini or other leafy greens. Or serve with cooked pasta, quinoa or rice.
Like French fries, chunky crispy tostones are irresistible. Tostones are made with green plantains (cooking bananas), but ripe brown plantains, called maduros when fried, make a sweeter version. Try either, or fry a plate of both.
Butchers at farmer's markets and specialty stores are great sources for homegrown bison. Try these burgers with grainy mustard and whole wheat buns.
Just a touch of heat from the sausage adds zip to this colourful mixture inspired by the Frizado family of Whitby, Ont.
From our book and video, Fast-Fix 5 Ingredient Cooking (Robert Rose Inc., 1997), here is a delicious vegetarian burger. Experiment with various toppings: diced avocado, shredded romaine lettuce, or Monterey Jack or fontina cheese. Mild or medium salsa is plenty hot, especially when salsa is not just a condiment but the central ingredient.
These are similar to falafels but are not deep-fried. You can refrigerate them for up to 8 hours before cooking.
This is decidedly delicious and much easier than stuffing the turkey on Christmas morning.
The fruit and nuts can be easily replaced with the same quantity of apples, raisins, hazelnuts or any other favourites. We bake this on the side because we love the crispy top, but you can use it as a turkey stuffing to put into the bird just before roasting.
