Moist and risotto-like, this pepper-packed side dish is suitable for any occasion. Stir in some black or kidney beans for a complete protein vegetarian main dish.
Fat Trimmer: In an older version, 1 lb (500 g) regular ground beef would have been browned in oil, and the fat would probably not have been drained off. But if you use a good nonstick pan and lean ground beef and place the meat in the pan before heating, there is no need for oil.
The inspiration for this recipe was to have as much seafood as possible in one dish; my partner loves seafood and cannot get enough. I serve this dish in a large tureen in the middle of the table and let everyone serve themselves "family style". I serve with a great glass of cold white wine and everyone has a great time.
In this popular Sicilian dish, cauliflower mellows and softens as it simmers in a savoury tomato sauce, while the traditional toasted bread-crumb topping adds crunch to every bite.
While you don't want to overwhelm seafood with too much spice, these mussels can take a hit of curry because the creamy sauce tempers the heat. Serve with crusty bread for sopping up the delicious broth.
A little chicken (less than a pound) goes a long way in this rich, creamy dish. We love whole wheat spaghetti with the rustic mushroom-infused sauce, but any long pasta, such as bucatini, spagettini or linguine, can be a delicious partner. Feel free to improvise with whatever type is waiting in your pantry.
Serving this pitcher punch is a great way to welcome guests or to get the party started.
You can thaw and peel the shrimp while the soup is cooking, but to quickly get dinner on the table after work, prep the shrimp the night before. That way, you'll be able to throw them into the slow cooker when you get home and then sit down to a warm, soothing meal in less than 15 minutes.
