Skewering the onions with metal or soaked wooden skewers keeps the slices together while grilling.
While this take on a comfort food classic replaces the traditional ground beef with lentils, we promise you won’t regret the switch.
Turn everyday hummus into something swoon-worthy. It's as easy as blending in cooked sweet potato, which not only adds a rich deep hue but also pumps up flavour and boosts nutrients. It still makes a great appetizer, or you can use it as the base for a protein-packed vegetarian dinner salad. Trust us, you won't miss the meat.
Less-tender cuts of meat, such as this, are not only inexpensive but also lean and high in protein and iron. You can use a pressure cooker to speed things up, or you can simmer it on the stove top or in a slow-cooker. Serve with mashed potatoes and corn.
It almost seems that the slow cooker was made for this subtly spicy, rich mole sauce. In fact, you might be tempted to make a double batch of just the sauce and freeze half for another time - simply thaw it and reheat with cooked, shredded meat. Serve over rice or with warmed corn tortillas to soak up all the sauce.
Choose your favourite way to cook cobs of corn: boil or steam for 8 to 10 minutes, grill over medium-high heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or microwave at high for about 10 minutes. Then brush with butter or olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Or dress them up with one of these butter, mayonnaise or olive oil toppings. Each topping makes about 1/3 cup (75 mL), enough for 6 cobs of corn.
This family favourite comes together in only 35 minutes, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Nutritious and fast, this satisfying weeknight dinner is even tastier as leftovers for lunch the next day. To remove the tough centre stems of the kale, simply run the tip of your knife along each side of the stem; this allows you to easily chop the more tender leaves.
