This vitamin-rich dinner can be served over buckwheat noodles, brown rice, quinoa, or whatever grain your family prefers.
This vegetable and chickpea couscous fills you up without filling you out. Chickpeas are high in fibre and iron, and the prunes add a hint of natural sweetness, which makes this all-in-one dish feel indulgent.
Browning the butter adds a deep, nutty aroma to the filling.
This recipe is from our new book, The Barbecue Collection. If you can't find kecap manis, boil together 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar, 1/3 cup (75 mL) soy sauce and 2 tbsp (30 mL) fancy molasses until sugar is dissolved.
From the first crunch of the crackle topping to the last bite of the creamy pumpkin custard, this sinfully pleasing dessert makes a splendid ending to a fall dinner.
This aromatic curry starts with a practically prep-free sauce that gets its potent flavour from garam masala, a finely ground blend of cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, mace and cloves. To save time on prep, look for the ready-made mix in the spice aisle.
This “instant” kimchi does not require fermentation and can be enjoyed immediately or within a few hours of making. Long cabbage or a thin napa cabbage is ideal for the quick salting process.
Plums might not be the first fruit you think to grill, but their gorgeous burgundy skin gets even prettier as the natural sugars caramelize. The sweetness pairs well with grilled pork and this aromatic sauce full of warming spices.
This Chinese classic gets a wholesome makeover by replacing the meat with loads of fresh vegetables. Korean hot pepper paste isn't traditionally found in ma po tofu, but it adds a nice kick. Look for it in the Asian section of your grocery store, or substitute with one teaspoon of sriracha.
