    3 tsp (15 ml) butter
    4 cups (1 L) white button mushrooms, sliced

    Salmon Patties

    2 - 5.6 oz (160 g) tins wild salmon
    1/2 cup (125 ml) rolled oats
    1 large egg
    1/2 red capsicum, finely diced

    Juice of 1/2 lemon

    Potatoes: On stovetop steam sweet potatoes until very tender. In large bowl mash potatoes with fork or potato masher along with butter, maple syrup, cumin, ginger, salt and pepper.

    Mushrooms: Melt butter in pan over medium heat; add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring regularly. Stir in red wine and cook for another 10 minutes or until most of the wine has evaporated. Season with salt, if desired.

    Salmon Patties: In large bowl flake tinned salmon with a fork. Mix in oats, egg, capsicum, shallot, curry powder, lemon juice and black pepper. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.

    Heat olive oil over medium heat in pan and cook salmon patties for 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Flip carefully to avoid breaking patties apart and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Serve patties with mashed sweet potatoes and top with mushrooms.

    Warming Winter Chocolate Bark

    A tribute to the bounty and beauty of nature, this chocolate bark is studded with nuts, seeds, and berries and flavoured with the warming spices of ginger and cinnamon. Adding sweet paprika and chili also gives an interesting kick to a winter favourite. Cut back on the red pepper flakes if you prefer a less spicy version. Chocolate contains tryptophan—an essential amino acid—that helps our brain produce serotonin. Eating chocolate is a delicious way to get a mood boost, which can help lift our spirits when sunlight levels are low. Food of the Gods In the taxonomy of plants, the cacao plant, from which chocolate is derived, is called Theobroma cacao. Theobroma comes from Greek for “food of the gods.” Cacao comes from the Mayan word for the plant.
