This classic warm-you-up stew becomes even more comforting when made with well-marbled pot roast rather than the usual stewing beef. The fat melts slowly as it cooks, tenderizing the beef into juicy melt-in-your-mouth morsels. A slow finish in the oven gives the stew its rich, hearty texture.
This quick pasta salad recipe is vegetarian, but you could easily make it vegan by using vegan mayonnaise, and, be sure to read the ingredients on your bottled Italian salad dressing, as some are dairy-free and vegan and some are not.
Fill up this pasta and beans salad even more! Experiment by adding some of your favorite veggies for an even more nutritious salad. Try adding black olives, steamed broccoli or cauliflower, diced tomatoes, green onions, and, if you're not vegan, a bit of crumbled feta cheese.
It doesn't get any simpler--or more delicious--than this. Dark chocolate and cream come together to form divine, melt-in-your-mouth dark chocolate truffles. Use good-quality chocolate for the best results--any chocolate whose flavor you enjoy will work well! A tablespoon of rum or brandy can be added in with the vanilla, if desired.
These candies, like most truffles, have several extensive chilling periods, so make sure you leave enough time when making them.
If there is any “magic” to our cooking, it's in seasoning mixes such as this. With this mixture, we try to unmask the depth of flavor in our native seafood, not overpower it. We want every bite to display a full flavor profile, so we liberally sprinkle seasoning on the entire piece of fish. That means both sides. Make a decent-sized batch of this mixture so it will always be handy, then rub it or sprinkle it on the food. Remember, mixtures such as this one cost very little to make yourself but quite a lot if you buy them at retail.
This invaluable seasoning stands next to our stove for tossing into mushrooms, vegetables, soups, and stews. It keeps indefinitely, use a 3-cup glass or ceramic container that is about as tall as it is high for this. A liter French preserving jar—the kind with the rubber gasket around the top—that measures about 3½ inches high and across the neck, is perfect.
NOTE: You’ll need to start the salt one to three weeks before using.
