Chickpeas with Chorizo Sausage
Jul 14, 2005
These puff-pastry turnovers look so professional, guests will think that you went out and bought them. If you have a few leftover cooked green peas, add 1/3 cup (75 mL) to the filling. Serve with a tossed salad or a spinach-and-orange salad dressed with a tangy vinaigrette to balance the turnovers' fruity sweetness.
As well as a great family dinner, this is ideal for lunch. Make extra pork and for dinner, serve it with rice and Greek salad. The next day, put the extra cooked cubes in a container to enjoy cold for lunch. Send along some pita bread and put some tzatziki in another container for your child to assemble a very tasty sandwich at school.
You can use store-bought tartar sauce, especially if you're camping.
Toss this mildly spicy dressing with grated carrots, coleslaw mix or broccoli slaw. Or mix it with shrimp and stuff into avocado halves. We use 2% yogurt because 1% and no-fat varieties tend to be watery.
When it's your turn to make supper, make it pizza-pleasing with a quick-to-make pizza and a big bowlful of salad greens. Use tortillas, pitas or a ready-made base for the crust.
Lean turkey adds healthy protein to this vegetable-packed gluten-free pasta. Blanching the rapini gets rid of some of its bitterness. You may be tempted to blanch it in the same pot as the pasta, but don't: The bitterness will transfer.
