Patties and Couscous
Jul 14, 2005
Why spend money at the takeout counter for a roast beef sandwich when you can make this tasty, lean tortilla version?
We've transformed one of the most popular Indian dishes, a potato-and–cauliflower curry called aloo gobi, into easy-to-make individual cakes. Serve with a dollop of raita or plain yogurt.
Vegetarians, rejoice! This meat-free, dairy-free handheld treat will be the hit of the party. Kosher panko makes an ultracrispy crust that soaks up any moisture from the artichokes. For guests who don't feel like dipping, serve the artichokes with wedges of lemon to squeeze over top.
These filet mignon–inspired kabobs are made with less expensive top sirloin, then skewered and grilled for a more casual take on the classic steak-house dish. Serve this warm-weather dinner with a baked potato to round out the meal.
Everyone will enjoy this nutty, full-flavoured cheese fondue. For a milder, sweeter taste, try the Cheddar and Emmenthal variation. For the best results, make the fondue in a fondue pot directly on the stove top then transfer it to the burner at the table.
Ask at the deli counter for a 5 oz (150 g) piece of ham, about ½ inch
(1 cm) thick. When sprinkling the cheese, don't worry if some misses the potatoes and gets on the baking sheet – it makes a nice crispy edge.
This slightly spicy, sweet, and salty pie is full of umami thanks to its roasted tomato sauce base.
Prepared pizza dough makes quick work of these cheese-filled fingers. Use green or black olives, or a combination, for creepy rotten-looking fingernails. Let the dough rest for a few minutes between stretches and rolls to prevent it from shrinking.
