Lentils with Sausage
This dish is great because you can make it the night before, let it sit in the refrigerator, and then tell your husband to grill some sausages while you make a salad. Before you know it you have a healthy and hearty meal that both of you had a hand in.
Pastel de Carne (Aka: Shepherds Pie)
This dish is known all over the world and respectfully made in different ways and with different ingredients so tailor it to your tastes. The combination between the sweet raisins, the earthiness from the potatoes, and the seasoned beef is perfect comfort food!
Celia’s Estofado de Pescado
This dish is from my childhood and something I make when I miss home. Its few ingredients make it something you can make quickly and easily. It is a dish my mother learned from the Spanish side of her family so it has been passed on for several generations.
Chicken Chasseur
From Southern France, this ‘hunter’ dish is a recipe used for game, specifically tough birds that needed to be cooked and softened throughout the cooking process. Its quick to prepare and it lends itself to endless variations so all chefs can make it to their taste. Since it reheats successfully it is perfect for entertaining friends or family.This earthy dish is perfectly suited to the rustic charms of a country red wine from southwestern France. Look for a bottle from one of the various appellations in that region, such as Cahors, Madiran, or Bergerac.
