Gourmet Food on a Budget — Ever Forward, Ever Flavorful
What’s for dinner this evening? There are lots of recipes for dinner or dishes you might want to eat after the sun goes down.
Flank Steak Stuffed with Duxelles, Spinach, and Blue Cheese is a great holiday dinner that’s healthy, impressive, and won’t break your bank. You could put it on the grill or in the oven in a Graniteware Covered Roaster.
The sauce is from Joseph “Joe Dogs” Iannuzzi’s Mafia Cookbook. Even though the recipe for this Lasagna with Béchamel has been tweaked to reduce fat and calories, you would never know from the taste. Enjoy this with a salad and a glass of red wine.
Instant Pot Risotto will become your go-to method of making this creamy rice dish. No more standing and stirring for you!
Black lentils make a welcome change from the usual pinto beans found in most chili. This chili is also made with dried red chili pods for extra flavor.
Have these steakhouse potatoes with your favorite protein or just by themselves. They are light and fluffy on the inside with a nice crunchy top.
Grapefruit Beet Salad is a composed salad that is hearty enough to serve by itself with some crusty bread. Want it vegan? Omit the cheese and roast beef.
Alsatian Caramelized Onion Pizza is my take on the Trader Joe’s Tart d’Alsace. I’ll tell you how to make overnight caramelized onions, too.
Tuna Casserole with Fresh Mushroom Soup has the comfort you remember as a child, but the mushroom soup is made with mushrooms sauteed with shallots and sherry, brings it forward for your adult tastebuds.
Using this hack for Instant Pot Hungarian Goulash, you can get the deep flavor from hours of slowing simmering in a Dutch Oven, and the speed of Instant Pot will make it all happen in under an hour!
