Pork & Apple Stir Fry
Serve this lean pork and apple stir-fry with brown rice and a glass of merlot.
Latkes
These little brown circles are delicious and a great addition to any daily meal. With poached eggs and spinach in the morning, smoked salmon and greens at lunch or in this case with brisket for dinner, they rise to the challenge. Traditionally, potato latkes are shallow fried and tend to be a tad greasy. With this recipe the latkes are finished in the oven and require far less oil in the cooking process.
Mushroom Soup
The earthy flavour of the large, dark mushrooms in this soup is given a lift by garlic, parsley and mace. It has a deep, smoky colour and a rich taste that needs no cream to enhance it.
