Wanted to make a quick meal for lunch. I used the smaller potatoes because I could not find new potatoes with plenty of flavour (e.g. Jersey Royals, Maris Piper, or Nicola). Did not take a full 1 hour to make. The key is multi-tasking.

Peel the new onions and simmer them whole in consommé! It's a simple, sweet, and delicious dish that's popular in our home. *This recipe was featured on July 7, 2014.The Origin of This RecipeWe received a lot of new onions from a local farmer near my parents' house, so I tried cooking them whole, and it was a big hit! The sweetness of the onions comes out, and it's delicious.

This amazing recipe is from bon appetit, with some tweaks to suit my own preferences. For the original, just look up Moroccan beef stew on bonappetit.com.

With some minor modifications, this is a replica of Spain on a Fork’s famous “Garbanzo Bean Stew” recipe. It’s earthy, it’s filling and most importantly, it’s delicious !Notes:*To grate tomato, cut tomato in half and carefully grate until only the skin is left.** Fresh parsley is best but if you don’t have any at hand, you can substitute it for dried parsley or even cilantro.#CA2025

I had completely forgotten about this recipe until mom reminded me of it. When I was a kid, I didn't dig on veggies much, so it is no wonder I had forgotten this. Now that I am older and eat my veggies, this stew rocks. I remember my father loved when mom would make it.

It's fava bean and new potato season, so I'm taking the opportunity to make a simple and delicious recipe! Of course, the vegetables come from local producers.

This soup is so good on a chilly day! When I was little, I used to spend weekends with this woman I consider my mom, I would beg her to make this everytime. We'd stay up late watching scary movies and snacking on this stew :)

Being a cook is being an artist —You can mix ingredients in your fridge or pantry and get creative results! I had some chickpea cans I wanted to use and I decided to make this vegetarian strew which turned out delicious ! I used vegetables I had in my fridge and you can too! You can substitute the green peppers for red/orange/ yellow or add any vegetables you already have like celery or carrots. The important thing is that you make it with love and you get creative while doing it.

This is a tasy vegetarian meal, normally done with beef and served with rice. I used pasta as both the heating times for pasta and tofu work out well . :ohyeaah

The origins of beans (Phaseolus spp.) are ancient, dating back to the dawn of time in Central America, particularly in Mexico, where they were cultivated as early as 5000 BC. These species arrived in Europe during the first ocean crossings and quickly found an ideal growing environment on the old continent, gradually replacing European bean crops belonging to the Vigna genus. From that moment on, beans began to conquer the palates and arable lands from Europe to the Far East, and over this five-century journey, a variety of beans developed, even very different from each other. This led to the red bean, which is simply a common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) characterized by a red skin of varying intensity, sometimes mottled. In Italy, we have many typical varieties of legumes, and among these, we can find at least two types of red-skinned beans, which are world-renowned excellences, such as the red bean of Lucca and the Lima bean.

I miss the wild mushrooms that my father gathered from the local forests surrounding our home in Willis, Michigan in the 1950s. He looked for two types in particular, a morel mushroom in the spring and a brown mushroom in the early fall. In the fall, there were many types of mushrooms—some edible, and some deadly poisonous. My dad knew the one type that was edible and could recognize it at a glance. We feasted on fresh from the forest mushrooms sautéed with onions in butter.Mushrooms are also a mainstay of a fall/winter dish of Hunter’s Stew, or Bigos (bee-goes). The traditional meats for this sauerkraut/cabbage stew are those that a hunter might find—venison or rabbit, perhaps.My mother made her version with pork ribs and smoked or fresh kielbasa, simmered for hours in a big soup pot on the stove. She called it Kapusta (kah-poo-stah) which is the Polish word for cabbage. Every Polish family has their own version. This recipe is an easy one for beginners. If you make it, please let me know how it turned out for you!
