Citrus Ginger Couscous
Jul 14, 2005
This traditional English dessert, made with stewed fruit and whipped cream, tastes decadent but has a lovely light texture. For a quick treat, cook the rhubarb the day before, then simply whip the cream and assemble before serving. If fresh rhubarb isn't available, you can substitute the same amount of thawed frozen rhubarb—just thoroughly pat it dry.
Serve this puree with poultry, pork or game. Make it ahead of time to rewarm in the oven or prepare it in the slow cooker while you make other dishes for the meal. It's ideal for special occasions.
Bone-in chops may require some carving, but the superior flavour from the bones makes it more than worthwhile.
Deep-frying is the reason to skip egg rolls, chicken balls, wings and ribs. Instead, satisfy your yearning for Chinese food with this salad full of flavourful noodles and crunchy vegetables. Precooked Chinese noodles are often used in this type of salad but because these noodles are coated in oil to prevent them from sticking together, their fat content is high. We use any long pasta or Chinese wheat noodles.
Ideally these meringues have slightly soft and chewy centres. However, if you prefer them dry and crisp, add 10 minutes to the baking time.
