Catfish Ceviche
Ceviche is a Latin American seafood salad made with fresh fish marinated in citrus, which cooks the fish without heat. You can also add black beans and corn to this light salad.
1 lb (450 g) catfish, cut into 1/2 in (1 cm) pieces
1 tsp (5 mL) lemon zest
1 tsp (5 mL) lime zest
1/3 cup (80 mL) lime juice
1/3 cup (80 mL) lemon juice
1/3 cup (80 mL) orange juice
2 Tbsp (30 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
1 large tomato, diced
1 small red onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup (80 mL) cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
1 tsp (5 mL) honey
1/2 tsp (2 mL) cumin powder
1 avocado, diced
Salt to taste
In a large resealable food-storage bag, combine catfish with the zests and juices. Marinate in fridge for a minimum of 4 hours, turning several times. The catfish has marinated long enough when it is opaque and has a texture similar to poached fish.
Drain catfish and discard liquid.
Put fish in large bowl; add oil, tomato, red onion, garlic, cilantro, jalapeno, honey, cumin, avocado, and salt. Mix gently and serve.

Broth and Wine-Braised Cannellini Beans
Braising these hearty beans not only changes their texture but leaves them creamy and satisfying. Using a savoury broth with saffron for braising provides the traditional Spanish flavour, similar to a paella. This dish is served as a shared side, but it could also be served with rice and vegetables as a delicious stand-alone dinner or as a satisfying nourish bowl. Swap your spirits Try substituting vermouth for white wine in this recipe, if you have some on hand. It’s a great alternative to wine and will last much longer in your cupboard. An added perk? You can save that nice wine for sipping.
Baked Prawns
With Spain’s expansive coastlines and multiple islands, seafood is a staple of the cuisine. This quick and easy prawn dish will add a pop of protein and a wonderful smokiness to your tapas-style lineup. Sustainable seafood When choosing prawns (or any seafood), opt for sustainable varieties that recognize and even reward sustainable fishing practices. As an important protein in many cultures, seafood, caught sustainably, helps contribute to healthy oceans < and > healthy communities.
Lentil Shepherd’s Pie
This vegan take on classic shepherd’s pie is jam-packed with bold and rich flavours that will ensure no one will miss the meat. While a great source of fibre, lentils also contain the highest amount of folate out of all plant-based foods. Oven ready If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, you’ll need to transfer cooked lentil filling to a baking dish before topping with mashed sweet potatoes and baking.
Roasted Cauliflower with Pecan Date Crumble
Cauliflower has been having a moment lately, and this salad proves exactly why. Tender caramelized cauliflower is crowned in a glorious sweet and savoury crumble that will ensure it a place on your table all month long. Of all tree nuts, pecans have the highest concentration of flavonoids, which offer beneficial anti-inflammatory effects, and they also protect your cells from oxidative damage. Crumble perfection This crumble topping is too good not to use it on other preparations. Sprinkle over a carrot ribbon salad to add some extra pizzazz, use as a glorious garnish on a soup or stew, or consider generously spooning over your next vegetable “steak” to add some delicious textural variation.
