I just made this for dinner last night and I am once again reminded of how much I love lentils. the lentils really are the star of this dish. They are tender, brothy and fragrant with garlic and leeks and sweet from the carrots and a bit spicy from the crushed chilies. And, in addition…

Chicken Provencal with Olives,Anchovies & Orange Gremolata
Chicken Provencal is my go-to comfort food. We’re talking chick-flick-and-bottle-of-wine, comfy. Fuzzy-slippers, comfy. Let-the-laundry-pile-up-on-Sunday-afternoon, comfy. The kalamata olive’s delicate, nutty, mellow flavor works nicely with orange zest and tomatoes; and the marjoram, thyme, and parsley give this dish a bright, herby lift. Ingredients: 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs 1 14.5 can diced tomatoes, drained…

Miso Marinated Black Cod
While black cod is not a label usually seen in the fishmongers or supermarket the fish goes by a few other names that are easier to find (when it’s called black cod they can charge more for it), look for sablefish or butterfish. All three names are the exact same fish. The ingredients used in…

Sumac Chicken
A simple dish that is as easy to make as it is full of flavor. Put it together in 5 minutes then forget about it for an hour, and voila: delicious, fall-off-the-bone chicken that tastes, well, of sumac. Sumac is a bit tart?but not overly. It tastes like lemon and is therefore delicious on dishes…

Braised Lamb Shanks with Cider/Guiness
In the winter nothing is better than a braise or a stew. Lamb shanks are the perfect choice for such a dish. With a long, slow braise the meat becomes tender and begins to fall off the bone and it is the perfect thing to prep quickly and leave simmering on the stove all day.…

Pork Chops with Cranberry-Apple Chutney
Pork Chops with Cranberry-Apple Chutney This recipe first came about for use with trout. Trout is actually my favorite meat to use this recipe with. I’d never tried this recipe with pork chops until now, and am very happy with the results, but if you don’t eat pork, you can still use this recipe, as…

Tuna with Citrus Butter

They can grow to a huge size (up to 700kg) and their meaty flesh is distinctively flaky and firm with a rich, strong flavour, the consequence of its comparatively high oil content. Tuna is mainly sold as steaks. It dries…
