The sauce includes an entire bottle of bold red zinfandel wine. The vegetables in the sauce are cooked until every ounce of flavor is extracted from them, and then the sauce is pressed through a sieve and reduced even further. The beef, braised for hours is fork tender. Enjoy! Salt the roast well and set aside at room temperature while you prepare all the other vegetables. When the pancetta is crispy and brown, remove it with a slotted spoon and set aside....

Economical and hearty, there’s no better way to see out the colder months. Let it simmer away slowly on the stove or oven, speed things up using your pressure cooker, or set and forget with your slow cooker. Mop your bowl clean with Irish Soda Bread, a quick rustic no-yeast bread, or this incredible easy crusty Artisan bread! Beef Stew The Queen of Brown Food strikes again. Back to back brown foods, possibly the two MOST brown foods in the world – a curry on Friday, and now a Beef Stew recipe today....

I’m thinking about margaritas made with wonky ingredients like bubblegum, fish sauce, or chocolate. I think the worst I ever saw was a dill-passionfruit flavored “margarita” where the tequila was swapped out for vodka. Vodka! Can you imagine?! If you’re going to riff on a classic, then the recipe should be kept simple so that the qualities that made original so spectacular still shine, but the drink can be experienced in a new way....

This post was created in collaboration with Prestige Cookware Hope you guys have had a glorious Easter Week! We spent a good chunk of it in Wales, with no Wi-fi or phone signal (unless you count standing on one leg in one particular spot of the caravan with the phone pointed in a very precise direction, and not breathing - lest that one bar needed to send a text message disappears)....

Feta cheese and spinach are such a classic and irresistible combo – doubly so when paired with the soft scrambled eggs in this recipe. The wraps are so quick to assemble, though you can also make them up to two days in advance and reheat in the oven or microwave. What’s not to love?! If you are making these for a brunch buffet, cut them in half to make smaller portions....

How to Shave Brussel Sprouts The most difficult part of this salad is shaving the Brussels sprouts into thin ribbons, which isn’t hard. You have some options: If you have a food processor with a slicer attachment, I would highly recommend using it. Give the sprouts a nice cold rinse, trim the bottoms, pull any sad looking leaves off, and pop them through the slicer.Use a sharp knife and a cutting board....

You can make them ahead of time, which is always a plus. They’re ready in just 30 minutes! I owe this recipe to my daughter. She made an initial version of it, which was very tasty but a bit time-consuming. Being a lazy cook, I immediately set out to make an easy version. It took a few tries, but the result is so incredibly good! Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make buffalo chicken lettuce wraps....

In my belly! Or your belly if you decide to make this Cajun twist on the classic chicken salad. It’s easy enough, you can basically prep the ingredients as the chicken is poaching. I love the spicy kick that the Cajun seasoning brings to the salad. It makes for great leftovers and works well on lettuce or in a sandwich. Enjoy! Serve over butter lettuce or between two pieces of bread for a sandwich....

This Thanksgiving turkey rocks. Seriously. People are always fawning over it and wonder what the secret is. The answer? It’s not really a big deal. It all starts with an injection and then just making sure to keep checking the temperature so it doesn’t overcook. Also, baste like crazy. Overcooking a turkey dries it out and an injection brings in both moisture and flavor. You can buy an injector at most major big box stores (Walmart, Kmart, Target)....

Carrots are a great bridge between flavors, and marrying them with bananas, sweet potatoes, walnuts, dates, and a touch of cinnamon hits all the notes for a well-balanced beverage that is easy to make and a hit with the whole family. And you needn’t relegate this just to breakfast! Smoothies, especially a more hearty one like this, work well as an afternoon snack for myself or my kids. Carrot Cake Smoothie Flavor Profile I want something called a Carrot Cake Smoothie to taste like carrot cake, and here, all the familiar flavors are present: sweet and earthy carrots, vanilla, cinnamon, and walnuts (which may or may not be in your version of the cake)....

It’s ready in about 50 minutes, and the leftovers are just as good as the freshly baked dish. Ingredients Here’s an overview of the ingredients you’ll need to make cauliflower stuffing. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below: This sausage stuffing is wonderful. But one of our usual Thanksgiving guests doesn’t eat pork, so I wanted to find a vegetarian substitute. This cauliflower stuffing is just what I was looking for....

The main cheese is mild ricotta, with some Swiss cheese and Parmesan for extra oomph. With flaky phyllo dough and plenty of eggs in the mix, the pie turns out to be light and delicate. Made with canned artichokes, this pie is easy to make: layers of crisp and buttery phyllo, artichokes, a burst of bright lemon zest, and fresh parsley. It’s a vision to behold. Serve it with a big salad or steamed asparagus and some crusty bread....

Baking Dish Options: While we believe that a cast-iron skillet is a must-have kitchen item, some chefs don’t have one at home. Not to worry – you can definitely prepare our easy taco dip without one. Cook up the onion, poblano pepper, and spices as directed in a regular frying pan. Then, stir in your refried beans, sour cream, lime juice, and cheeses and place into an ungreased baking dish of your choice:...

Chicken Tikka Masala is an Indian favourite along with Butter Chicken and Biryani. Serve with Basmati Rice, else add a side of chewy and fluffy Naan or basic Homemade Flatbreads to mop up the sauce! Chicken Tikka Masala There are various tales about the origins of Chicken Tikka Masala, and most are along the lines of the following: That a British aristocrat was served Chicken Tikka (chicken on skewers chargrilled in a tandoor) and sent it back to the kitchen, complaining it was dry....

Try the Shredded Lamb version of this – slow cooked Middle Eastern Spiced Lamb with Chickpea Rice Pilaf!

Ready in about 25 minutes, they’re so easy to make. And the leftovers are really good! I really like green beans. They are so delicious! Simple boiled green beans, liberally salted, are wonderful. I also love spicy green beans. When tender-crisp, rather than limp and lifeless, they are like a salty, spicy snack. The secret to delicious Chinese green beans is sautéing them until tender-crisp and not a second longer....

Usually turkey soup is a pretty standard affair, but if you are looking for a soup that might pack a little more punch, I recommend this pozole. It’s made with turkey stock, leftover turkey, a little tomato, lots of hominy, and seasoned with smoky chipotle chile peppers in adobo. I’ve written about pozole before. It’s hard to resist this soup, essentially “taco night” in a bowl, but not as messy!...

This is the ultimate emergency sweet-treat! NO BAKE Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars When it comes to sweet treats, these No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars are probably what I make the most often because it’s so quick to pull together, no bake, and WHO DOESN’T LOVE PEANUT BUTTER CUPS??? Plus, I almost always have everything I need to make these. Even though biscuits aren’t part of my weekly shop, usually if I dig deep into the giant baskets into which I toss everything that doesn’t have an obvious dedicated position in the pantry, then usually I’ll find some sort of biscuit suitable to use....
