Cheese or spinach ravioli in a yogurt-based cream sauce and dressed fresh spinach find their way to your table this evening. The ravioli are served with browned mushrooms and the pasta is topped off with chopped fresh tomato and a sprinkle of Gorgonzola crumbles.
This dinner is a one plate wonder that doesn’t even need a side salad.
Here’s another great example of how favorite foods are born when two cultures assimilate. Teriyaki sauce got its start in Hawaii when the Japanese newcomers added pineapple juice and brown sugar to the local basting sauce.
This scrumptious homemade teriyaki sauce works great as a stir-fry sauce over any meat and vegetable combination.
Tonights dinner is somewhat on the lighter side – a terrific tuna salad for two. Should we call that the tantalizing tuna salad tango?
Allow me to lead…
I call this dish Lentil Ragout as it features a thick and rich mélange of lentils, vegetables and sausage. It’s brightly seasoned with sundried tomato pesto and holds up beautifully as a single dish meal.
This meal will take about an hour to assemble and cook and it will be worth it. The bonus is that the leftovers will continue to please.
It’s Saturday March 29th.
Another great week of dining awaits. It’s time to plan ahead and create your grocery orders.
Thin-sliced and brightly seasoned Chik’n strips with seared peppers and onions are nested into a bed of dressed arugula on your dinner plate tonight. Oven-roasted sweet potato fries round out this flavorful plate.
Here’s a plate that offers an abundance of fresh flavors and textures. It’ll also keep you light on your feet for a fabulous Friday night.
