This is a good 'blueprint granola' – follow the basic premise then add nuts and dried fruits of your choosing. Will store in an airtight container for two weeks
Roast root vegetables with maple syrup and thyme leaves until soft and sticky, then serve as a side dish to your traditional festive feast
Tuck into Canadian comfort food - chips, gravy and cheese curds. We've tweaked the traditional recipe with gooey, stringy mozzarella
As I cleaning out boxes of cut out recipes I came across this one. I think its a Canadian Living one but no idea what year. I put mine in the oven to cook.
This is my all time favourite appetizer!!, Delisious! everyone loves them. The toast cups can be filled with other fillings also, but the sausage is wonderfull!! a regular around our house over the holidays. Adapted from Canadian Living mag.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC where they have a lovely tea room. This is one of the recipes used over the years at their Afternoon Tea.
Sooo good on a beef roast or beef steaks!! Rich and spicy, from Canadian Living mag.
Recipe for individual meat pies [tortieres], popular in Quebec in the Christmas season. The Tourtiere is usually made like a casserole or pie. I don't see any reason why you couldn't make them into "individual" pies, but adjustments would have to be made in the cooking times.
This came from rummaging through my friend's fridge & cupboard when I was staying in Canada recently. Everyone was shocked when I put maple syrup into a marinade, but it tasted great - even the kids loved the results. Works very well with pork and chicken.
Now that I'm engaged to a Newfie, I have started learning the "old family recipes", as well as some new words... Anyhow, this is the dressing that Newfoundlanders enjoy with their turkey - it is really different than the "stuffing" that I grew up with out in BC. This is enough for a 10 lb turkey.
A French-Canadian entree recipe for salmon fillet seared over a high heat and served with a maple mustard seed sauce. I found this recipe on a French-Canadian food website, and have adapted it for posting for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. No serving sizes or preparation or cooking times were provided, so I have provided guesstimates. If you are reviewing this recipe, it would be helpful if you comment on these if you find the times to be different from my guesstimates. Thank you! This recipe was recommended on the website as being a particularly suitable dish to serve during Fall and Spring.
We went fishing in Canada this last summer and caught some wonderful salmon. This is a recipe I developed to use with them. It would work well as a stuffing for mushrooms too with a little Parmesan cheese on the top. It makes one whole salmon which works well for a large group or dinner party. You could also half it easily!
These are yummy with drinks, or as a snack. Fleur de sel is formed on the top of evaporating sea water. You can find it in spice shops or specialty shops. Otherwise sea salt should work, perhaps crushed a little. The restaurant in Chelsea Quebec sell these and have often sold out. Edited to add the timing of adding the salt..dont wait til the syrup hardens.
My Gram invented this during the depression while trying to feed her many brothers and sisters while her mom worked. You will either love it or hate it. I love it!
This is from the Alberta Kidney Foundation and is another recipe for those in renal failure...low in potassium and sodium.
I found this copycat recipe for Lofthouse Sugar Cookies online somewhere. Not sure how much it makes, and I haven't tried it yet, but I will be soon!
This recipe from Canadian chef Michael Smith is wonderful made with fresh vegetables from the garden or farmer's market. The leftovers reheat well, too!
Woodsy Canadian favourites with an imported Indian cheese.
Canadian Living. 10 minutes and yum.
David Thompson was a Canadian geographer who mapped most of the country west of Hudson Bay, including the length of the Columbia River. He also recorded some of the earliest information on several northern plains First Nations. This stew is typical of the food his explorer teams lived on.
For Christmas 2005 my sweet husband got me a bunch of low fat cookbooks. So for my favorite has been a Canadian one called "125 Best Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipes" by Judith Finlayson. This is an adaptation of a recipe from that cookbook that we enjoyed. If you desire some cheese can be sprinkled on the finished product, but we didn't think it needed it. For the record, I used an olive oil infused with garlic. Olive or vegetable would be good here.
One of my favorite crock pot dishes-the aroma alone will bring them running to the table! My girlfriend Melody's recipe from Gabriola Island, B.C.
WWF web site for members sent this to me a collection of recipes from chefs and their restaurants across Canada. This one is from Chef: Andrew King and his Restaurant: Da Maurizio, Halifax, Nova Scotia.
This was a staple for me growing up in Quebec and brings back many happy memories. A perfect winter comfort food!!! I have tweaked an original recipe and wanted to share it with you. Great at breakfast with fried egg and sausage. A hearty meal with crusty bread and salad. It takes some time but well worth the wait -- I hope you enjoy them. Special note: some people prefer using salt pork when preparing baked beans - I use sliced bacon instead.
