It’s hard to resist the appetizing siren call of a big bowl of steamed mussels, drawing you in with the smells and contrasting colors. Give in to this dish, in which mussels are steamed in an aromatic white wine broth with a playfully spicy kick, and is ready to devour in mere minutes.
This Thai-inspired curry is fragrant and silky smooth, pitting the sweetness of coconut milk against the slight sourness of fish sauce and earthiness of mushrooms. Additionally, this curry can really be adapted to suit your tastes from mild to blazing hot. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to make something this good.
We eat a ridiculously high amount of pasta in our house, but every once in a while I like to switch gears and opt for some light and delicate gnocchi instead. Add to it some seasonal squash and greens and you’re only a few minutes away from a memorable dinner.
We’ve all been there before. Hungry, staring at a pound of ground beef, yet still confused as to what to do with it, knowing that one more burger or one more bowl of chili is one step closer to insanity. Next time, perhaps consider these Middle Eastern-inspired kefta, which are made with minimal ingredients and effort, but are full of complex flavors.
Whether your sick, tired, cold or just in an existential funk, few things bring quick comfort like a bowl of chicken soup. There are as many different recipes of chicken soup as there are cooks, however is one of my favorites in that it only takes about 25 minutes to make. This soup also has the added bonus in that it replaces traditional noodles or pasta with beans for a protein kick.
