main course
Ideas to serve as main course or entrée.
Chicken mughlai
Here we see a significant difference from, say, Tandoori Chicken.
Mughlai pulao
This meat Mughlai style is easy to prepare, although a moderate rating may be applied because of the long list of ingredients due to the variety in spices.
This is a fantastic way to know about Indian culture. Mix your own spices or, as an easier alternative to the separate spices, buy some garam masala pre-made.
Turkey roll
Ideal for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or a special celebration for a small group.
Vegetarian lasagna
Luckily for those who don't eat meat, lasagna is still excellent when made solely with vegetable ingredients. This recipe will prove the point.
Peking duck
The key to good Peking duck is the elaborate preparation that takes place before cooking. The bird should be thoroughly plucked and cleaned. Then it must be wiped, preferably with a bit of gin and hung to dry. Let the air flow through the bird for several hours. Keep the mouth open, a small cardboard tube works well.
Shrimp Creole
This shrimp Creole recipe includes the typical Creole foundation of onion, celery, and bell pepper with a tomato sauce simmered to the desired thickness.
Fesenjan
Fesenjan is an Iranian dish traditionally made with duck or chicken. Serve fesenjan with rice.
Moussakaa
This is the Egyptian version. There are many variations in the surrounding countries. Moussakaa makes great main course, just serve with a green salad on the side.
Mexican lasagna
This is one of the recipes that came to Arizona from Mexico; probably based in the typical quesadillas - corn tortillas filled with meat, cheese, or vegetables, and baked - also very popular. Corn tortillas are used in place of the traditional lasagna sheets.
Meatloaf with brown sugar and ketchup glaze from Kansas
Meatloaf recipes are not exclusive to the Midwest of the United States, however, most meatloaf recipes we have come through from this region use ketchup, that is their distinctive touch.
