Japanese Chicken Hot Pot (Mizutaki)
Oct 12, 2010
This updated take on colcannon gets a nutrient boost from kale and substitutes less-starchy cauliflower for some of the traditional white potato. We've used a food processor to create a superfine purée, but you can use a food mill for an even smoother texture. This dish has a fair amount of fat, but most of it comes from the salmon and olive oil, which both contain heart-smart unsaturated fats. The salmon also provides heart protective omega-3 fats.
Creamy and comforting? Check. Rich and delicious? Check. This simple, classic side has everything you could ever ask for in a potato gratin. We guarantee you'll make it again and again – and again!
Searing scallops gives them a crispy exterior and a rich buttery centre. The splurge of saffron adds extra depth to a bright, tangy sauce. You will have about 1/4 cup of the citrus oil left over. It's perfect to drizzle over an omelette, a tomato salad or roasted potatoes, or to warm up and brush on crostini.
Cheesy, creamy broccoli soup is a family-friendly dish that's a great way to get kids to eat their veggies. The crispy Cheddar croutons add a satisfying crunch. For a lighter finish, replace the sour cream with Greek yogurt.
This is a popular homey dish with a twist. It has an elegant, savoury balance of vegetables and roasted turkey breast.
Sometimes a whole turkey is just too much for a small group. Celebrate the holiday with this easy all-in-one dinner that includes a lovely traditional stuffing rolled right up in the turkey. It looks beautiful when sliced. Look for a fresh boneless skin-on turkey breast at the butcher's counter.
This English-style game pie has a rich holiday flavour that is a lovely change from tourtière. Look for fresh rabbit at many grocery and specialty stores.
This French seafood stew shows off the catch of the day in a flavourful homemade stock. Herbed rouille (a thick bread-based garlic sauce) spooned onto the soup or spread on toasted baguette slices adds a special finishing touch.
