main meal
Ideas for the main meal of the day, dinner, be it at noon, early or late afternoon.
Swiss steak and sour cream casserole
Casseroles, casseroles, why do we love them? The warmth, the comfort when the weather is bad, the multitude of flavors, take your pick.
Twice baked potatoes with ham and cheese
Pair some starchy potatoes, a little pork meat, add some cheese, serve with a salad on the side and you have a square meal.
Pork farmer's pie
Like an old fashion shepherd's pie, which is fundamentally filling, only this recipe uses leftover pork meat instead of lamb. Let us stop the waste.
Bubble and squeak
Bubble and squeak is named for the sounds the potatoes, and other vegetables, make when they hit the hot pan.
Pork with BBQ sauce
You can serve leftover roast pork, pulled, just by itself in a sandwich, or you cad add something to take it to another level.This is a great recipe, not the most sophisticated, but it is filling, flavorful and the kind of food everyone loves.
Sautéed pork tenderloin medallions
Serve these medallions with a cream, apples and sage sauce to have an other-worldly experience.
Widow beans
Literal translation of the Spanish name. It is a bean soup with no meat or sausage at all. Flavoring the beans is a challenge.
Glazed chicken drumsticks
The ketchup, honey and mustard glaze adds a nice flavor and makes the chicken moist. Perfect for both, outdoors and indoors, grilling.
Simple campfire paella
When a paella is prepared for a large number of people and done on the campfire, as in this recipe, using yellow food coloring is more convenient than using saffron. Other ingredients can be added: squid, shrimp, mussels, clams, rabbit, peas or fresh baby broad beans. Substitute water with suitable broth for extra flavor.
Wheat hamburger buns
The buns are easier to handle if allowed to sit over night before using them. Brush with melted real butter and a pinch of garlic or another herb of choice, and throw onto the grill. Allow to sit for a few moments, depending on heat, until crispy as desired.
