Soft and pillowy, these fold-over orange-hued buns are perfect to sop up the gravy from holiday dinner plates.
Our Creamy Herb & Feta Spread is inspired by the famous Green Goddess Salad Dressing. Here, we swapped mayonnaise for Greek yogurt and added feta cheese to make it the perfect consistency for spreading on sandwiches.
White rice and fatty pork chops are replaced with protein-packed quinoa and lean pork tenderloin in this twist on a Vietnamese favourite. Daikon radish has a very pungent aroma, but its crunchy sweetness works well when pickled. If it's not your thing, you can substitute the same amount of carrot. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover quinoa; if you don't have any on hand, make it ahead and spread it out on a large rimmed baking sheet to cool quickly.
Whether it's served for brunch, dinner or as a bite-size appetizer, quiche is always a crowd-pleaser. This classic version, also called Quiche Lorraine, has a deliciously creamy egg custard filling.
The key to this rustic vegetarian pie filled with classic Greek flavours is the pastry: it's made with extra-virgin olive oil. You can make the pie up to five days ahead and serve it warm or at room temperature.
South American cuisine is famous for its grilled meat and herbaceous sauces. Here, a spicy buttermilk chimichurri marinade ensures that the chicken is moist and flavourful, while piquant onion slaw tempers the richness of the dish. To up the slaw's heat, replace the sweet red pepper with a thinly sliced jalapeño pepper.
Baking these pies in ramekins makes serving a breeze and ensures that everyone gets their fair share of rich, meaty sauce and crispy mashed potatoes. Cost: $4.95/serving
This recipe was inspired by the traditional Beef Wellington but I was looking for a healthier option. It is a relatively simple recipe that serves elegantly and makes a great impression. I generally serve the salmon with asparagus and a nice leafy green salad with avocado. Leftovers can be easily reheated and I have even served cold slices of the Wellington with a lemon aioli as an appetizer.
We've simplified traditional huevos rancheros by layering the ingredients in a zesty brunch casserole. Assemble the dish the night before so that, in the morning, all you need to do is crack the eggs, garnish and pop the casserole into the oven. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and some sliced avocado or a side salad.
