written by Rebecca

Servings: 4-6 servings

This is so good, my kids won’t turn their back until this is all gone! These crusty and cheesy potatoes will surely be on my regular menu rotation. With its superb flavours and texture, I am one hundred per cent certain you’ll go crazy over these tater tots.

Ingredients

1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese with a sand consistency (don’t use shredded or Microplaned Parmesan cheese)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved (1.5-2 inch diameter; approx 20-22 potatoes)

FOR DIPPING (optional):

sour cream or Greek yoghurt (or a half-and-half mixture)

chopped scallions or chives

How to make Parmesan Garlic Roasted Baby Potatoes

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F.

Step 2: Add the grated cheese, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Combine with a fork until incorporated.

Step 3: In a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, drizzle olive oil. Tilt the pan to evenly coat the entire bottom of the pan with olive oil.

Step 4: Evenly sprinkle over the bottom of the pan the cheese mixture. Do this slowly.

Step 5: In a single layer over the cheese mixture, arrange the potatoes, cut side down. To ensure the potatoes are flat and in place, lightly press them down.

Step 6: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and the cheese is browned.

Step 7: Take the pan out of the oven but leave the potatoes in the pan for at least 5 minutes.

Step 8: With a small spatula, carefully remove the potatoes from the pan making sure that the cheese is intact. If needed, use a paring knife to slice the cheese between the potatoes.

Step 9: Transfer cheese side up on a serving platter.

Step 10: If desired, serve with sour cream or Greek yoghurt or a half-and-half mixture and sprinkle with chopped scallions or chives.

NOTE:

Reheat any leftovers in a medium-hot non-stick skillet. Place potatoes cheese side up in the pan and heat for about a minute or two. Use tongs to flip them over, cheesy side down, and continue heating for a minute or two more or until crispy and heated through.

Creamy Mushroom Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

by Rebecca October 7, 2020
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 40 minutes | Total Time: 50 minutes | Servings: 6

I love a warm bowl of rich and creamy soup in Winter. And this Creamy Mushroom Chicken and Wild Rice Soup have been one of my go-to. The combination of all the ingredients makes my mouth water. This hearty and savoury bowl of goodness is a must-try and to to keep.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter

1 pound mushrooms, sliced

1 tablespoon butter

1 onion, diced

2 carrots, diced

2 stalks celery, diced

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 teaspoon thyme, chopped

6 cups chicken broth

1 cup wild rice (or a blend of rice including wild rice)

1 1/2 cups chicken, cooked and diced or shredded

1 cup milk or cream

1 cup Parmigiano Reggiano (parmesan), grated

salt and pepper to taste

How to make Creamy Mushroom Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Step 1: In a pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the mushrooms and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the liquids are released and evaporated. Set aside.

Step 2: In the same pan, add more butter. Melt before adding in the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until tender.

Step 3: Then, add in the garlic and thyme. Stir and cook for a minute or until fragrant.

Step 4: Pour in the broth, followed by rice and mushrooms. Bring the mixture to a boil. Adjust the heat and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes, covered, until the rice is tender.

Step 5: Add in the milk, then, the cheese and stir. Cook some more until the cheese melts. To taste, season with salt and pepper.

Note:

Follow the direction on the packaging on how to go about cooking the rice. As the cooking time varies depending on the rice you use.

For a more intense mushroom flavour, soak an ounce of dried mushrooms in a cup of hot water for about 20 minutes. Chop after and add along with garlic plus the mushroom water into the broth.

Before you season with salt and pepper in Step 5, you can first add in 2 tbsp white miso paste.

Steak and Ale Soup with Mushrooms

by Rebecca October 7, 2020
written by Rebecca

Yield: Serves 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 25 minutes | Total time: 40 minutes

Comfort in a bowl – this savoury soup is packed with tender rib-eye steak, mushrooms, and a whiff of ale! A very rich, hearty Steak and Ale Soup with Mushrooms to enjoy on cold nights with your family.

Ingredients:

2 rib-eye steaks (about 1 pound each), trimmed of excess fat and cubed

Salt

Black pepper

4 tablespoons flour, divided use

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons avocado (or olive) oil

2 small white onions, quartered and sliced

16 ounces (1 pound) sliced mushrooms

4 cloves garlic, pressed through a garlic press

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 cup ale (or “Fat Tire” amber ale)

6 cups beef stock

1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

How to make Steak and Ale Soup with Mushrooms

Step 1: In a large bowl, add the cubed steak. Sprinkle with several pinches of salt and black pepper followed by 2 tbsp flour. Then, toss to coat.

Step 2: Put over medium-high heat a large soup pot. Add in the butter and oil. Once the butter has melted and the pot is very hot, add in the steak cubes. Cook for about 3 minutes until all sides are brown. Make sure that the steak is rare inside, we only want colour on the outside. Remove the cooked cubed steak from the pot and set aside.

Step 3: if needed, drizzle more oil in the same pot. Then, add in the onions and mushrooms. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Griddle for about 10 to 12 minutes or until a bit golden.

Step 4: Add in the garlic. Stir until aromatic, then, add in the Italian seasoning and a cup of ale. Stir more. Vigorously simmer for approximately 5 minutes or until the liquid has reduced and slightly thickened.

Step 5: Whisk in the rest of the flour until incorporated. Pour in the hot beef stock and stir. Simmer, uncovered, over medium heat for about 20 to 22 minutes.

Step 6: Turn the heat off and place the browned steak back into the pot along with the juice.

Step 7: Let the soup sit for at least 5 minutes before serving. This way the steak will cook through a little in the hot soup.

Step 8: Sprinkle the parsley and thyme. Spoon the soup into bowls and serve alongside crusty bread and a cold ale. Enjoy!

NOTE:

For this recipe, you can use your favourite mushroom variety like sub crimini, shiitake, or a combination of each kind. And for that rich Ale flavour, I would recommend using a good quality ale. If you are asking, I always opt for some tender, juicy rib-eye steak. This may be a bit pricey but nothing beats its flavour and tenderness. Although, you can use sirloin or New York strip steak instead but keep an eye to make sure they will not be overcooked.

CROCKPOT CHUCK ROAST

by Rebecca October 7, 2020
written by Rebecca

PREP TIME: 5 MIN | COOK TIME: 4 HOURS 20 MIN | TOTAL TIME: 4 HOURS 25 MIN | YIELD: 12

This tender, juicy, chuck roast is a mouthwatering Sunday dinner idea. Perfect for when everyone is around. Good food for all that matters – a slow cooker or Dutch oven dish that is proven delicious!

INGREDIENTS

3-pound boneless chuck roast

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon black ground pepper

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 cups beef stock

2 dried bay leaves

1 tablespoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)

Handful fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

HOW TO MAKE CROCKPOT CHUCK ROAST

Step 1: Clean the roast, removing any hard fat in cold water. Use paper towels to pat dry. And season each side with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Over medium-high heat, warm a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot.

Step 3: When warm, drizzle olive oil into the pot and sear the roast for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side.

Step 4: Add bay leaves into the slow cooker.

Step 5: Take the roasts out of the pot and transfer in the slow cooker on top of the bay leaves.

Step 6: Into the same pot, add the balsamic vinegar, beef stock, rosemary, garlic powder, and onion powder. Bring this to a boil while occasionally stirring. Scrape the browned bits with a wooden spatula from the bottom of the pot.

Step 7: Pour the mixture over the roast in the slow cooker. Cook for about 3 to 4 hours on high or on low for about 6 to 8 hours until the roast is pull-apart tender. And cook for an hour more if you include the muscle.

Step 8: Take the bay leaves out and tear the roast into chunks with 2 forks. And get rid of the large pieces of fat.

Step 9: Au Jus is ready as is or you can make it into a gravy by mixing the xanthan gum into the roast. Garnish with parsley before serving if desired. Enjoy!

NOTES:

You can simply put everything into the slow cooker except the xanthan gum and parsley and proceed to cook.

Or cook on the stovetop by adjusting to simmer and cooking for about 7 to 8 hours on low, covered, until the roast is fork-tender.

In place of balsamic vinegar, use red wine instead.

If desired, you can add fresh onions, carrots, and potatoes. Cook for about 7 to 8 hours on low in a slow cooker.
