A favourite among chefs and home cooks alike, cold-pressed canola oil has a pleasing earthy taste, tolerance to heat and heart-health benefits. Try this liquid gold whisked into a vinaigrette over your favourite greens.
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.
My family have enjoyed this dish for over 40 years, vegetables & meat all in one dish.
This is a terrific recipe for a crowd, on a cold winter night, or for a potluck. This was passed on to me from my Grade One teacher, forty five years later!
Melted butter and lemon are classic with lobster, but cooked sauce has its fans. Dot Toombs of Kensington makes this fine, sweet one.
