main meal
Ideas for the main meal of the day, dinner, be it at noon, early or late afternoon.
Shrimp ceviche from Panama
This dish is raw, though shrimp ceviche has a taste more similar to cooked seafood than raw shrimp, as it would happen with sushi, the perfect treat for the sushi lover in your life.
Sausage rolls from Nigeria
The dough for the sausage rolls would probably be made with flour, butter, eggs, water and salt, kneaded and left to rise. Chilled pizza dough, however, is a good enough substitute.
Italian gnocchi from scratch
For the truly adventurous, you can make your own gnocchi, which are after all just dumplings made from potato and not disimilar to quenelles. Gnocchi are a delicious starter with tomato sauce, cheese sauce, pesto, or just butter and cheese. They would also make a mouthwatering main course if gnocchi were not so much work to prepare in large quantities.
Zuppa jota
Far east of Verona is a town called Trieste. From this city hails a soup that shows how the cuisine of Italy has been influenced by other cultures. It uses sauerkraut!
Italian carne cruda
This dish from Piedmont is only one of dozens from a section of this lovely country known for outstanding cuisine. Try it and you'll quickly become convinced.
Roast turkey with fruit stuffing and bacon rolls
Traditional roast turkey requires stuffing, bacon rolls, turkey gravy, and roast potatoes. Serve with seasonal vegetables on the side. Bread sauce and sausages can be also part of a traditional Holiday turkey dinner.
Roast chicken with stuffing from Switzerland
Serve the roast chicken with some vegetables on the side and potatoes - for a flair of the French-speaking or German-speaking cantons - or pasta - as the Italian-speaking cantons are fond of.
Chicken mughlai
Here we see a significant difference from, say, Tandoori Chicken.
Mughlai pulao
This meat Mughlai style is easy to prepare, although a moderate rating may be applied because of the long list of ingredients due to the variety in spices.
This is a fantastic way to know about Indian culture. Mix your own spices or, as an easier alternative to the separate spices, buy some garam masala pre-made.
No sauce menestra
No sauce, no wine; this is a variation of the menestra Monterrey recipe; we use the same technique.
