Khalia - Georgian Beef Stew by John Spottiswood

This is the incredible, densely flavored beef stew that I enjoyed so much at a Georgian restaurant in St. Petersburg, Russia. I've been searching for this, and finally I nailed it. I had this served in a sizzling cast iron pan in Russia, and while I didn't serve it that way to my dinner guests last night, it tasted just as good.…

Malaysian Pork Stew with Garnishes by John Spottiswood

This recipe, which is adapted from the New York Times Cookbook, is just outstanding. It has a great combination of flavors that everyone in our family loved. These cuts of pork are so inexpensive, that this is a very economical meal despite the exotic flavors. The garnishes add another dimension, so don't skimp on them! We served…

Lamb Meatball and Fava Bean Tagine / Morocco by Amos Miller

This is truly a hand-crafted meal - it takes time. I know that only the most devoted will make this. But it is nothing short of spectacular and was my favorite Spring dish. I'd eat it weekly. This is how I recall Mina made for me when I lived in Marrakech. I'm sharing it just because it is a personal favorite and, for guests,…

Lentils & Vegetables ~ Moroccan Style by Amos Miller

I began making this dish in the 1970s and it has evolved since then into a great Winter favorite. This will surprise you with both it's sweet, true vegetable flavors and just the right amount of seasoning. Served with a good bread, this will satisfy and nourish all the athletes and couch potatoes who look to you for a delicious…

Chahohbili - Georgian Chicken Stew by John Spottiswood

This is another dish that I had while in Russia, and it's popular throughout the former Soviet Union. This might be the most commonly made Georgian dish. I'm a big fan of the flavors. I served it over rice, but it would go nicely with pasta or crusty bread too. To me, this isn't as remarkable as the Georgian beef stew that I…

KARI-KARE (STEW WITH PEANUT SAUCE) by MARIA LOURDES V. LIPARDO-AYUB

This is my mom's eldest sister's favourite. She used to entertain dignitaries at her home and this dish has been her "ace" in terms of cooking Filipino food. I made this recipe simple and easy yet appealing to the taste...

Uncle Sidney's Red Beans by Amos Miller

There are two ways to go here: smoked meats (sausage, rib tips, neck bones, ham, country bacon), OR pickled meat. Either way, you'll obtain a rich flavor profile and a satisfying meal. One, warm, soft, and smokey; one tangy, slightly sharp, sort of barbeque-y, but it's always PORK and beans in the end.. My culinary mentor, whom I…

Tagine of Chicken with Preserved Lemon by John Spottiswood

This dish may not sound as exciting to you as some of the other tagine's I've posted (which is why I didn't try it myself for a while), and preserved lemons may sound difficult to make (which they aren't), but this is an amazingly tasty and easy dish to make. Once you've tried it, I guarantee you will make it again and again. Over…

Sweetcorn and crab entree by Judy fraschia

Delicious, impressive, and not expensive

Sambar (Spicy Indian Lentil Soup) by Chitra Agrawal

Sambar is a staple in most South Indian homes. It is a spicy lentil and vegetable stew. On most days, we had some kind of sambar for dinner when I was growing up. You usually eat it with rice.

Minced Chicken & Cabbage Soup by Navaneetham Krishnan

Lovely, nice, good and delicious, either on it's own or help yourself to a plate of rice.

Hearty Beef Stew with Mushrooms, Carrots and Potatoes by ChefBlogDigest

Pork Posole by Patrick Travis

An easy, rich, posole. I call out canned enchilada sauce, but if you have time to make one from scratch the posole is even better.

Segedinsky Goulash v2 by Spicie Foodie

My second installment of goulash versions is Segedinsky Goulash. It is a goulash made with pork and sauerkraut( sour cabbage) as the main ingredients and served with knedliky. This goulash doesn't seem to be as popular as other versions. If I remember correctly we have found it only in 1 restaurant. But my husband first discovered it…

BAMYA (MEAT WITH OKRA) by MARIA LOURDES V. LIPARDO-AYUB

I love Arabian food. It's so palatable and mild in spices. This dish is the gastronomic delight of Egypt.
