Tandoori Chicken Flatbread with Cilantro Lime Crema

Traditionally, tandoori chicken is cooked in a clay oven heated by charcoal or wood, called a tandoor. When cooking, juices from the chicken would drip onto the hot charcoal, giving the meat its unique smoky flavour. A simple tandoori marinade infuses chicken with aromatic flavours in this creative twist on a popular and tasty Indian dish. Juicy and mildly spiced chicken is the perfect flatbread topper to complement the vibrant and delicious, sweet and spicy layers of flavours. To make it a quick-and-easy assembled meal, prep all the ingredients a day ahead when marinating the chicken.

Red Pepper and Chickpea Korma Curry

Aromatic spices quickly come together in a nutty and mild vegan curry, deliciously rich in flavour and creamy perfection. Abundant in nutrients and anti-inflammatory properties, not only is this saucy dish palate pleasing, but it’s also a good source of beneficial brain-boosting power. Perfectly pairs with basmati rice or warmed naan—and even better the next day!

Brussels Sprout and Spinach Saag Tofu “Paneer”

Coconut milk adds a creamy richness to this vegan take on a traditional saag paneer. Fragrant spices are combined with seasonal greens and roasted tofu in a nutritious, flavourful stew-like dish that’s abundant in iron and antioxidants, and as full of flavour as it is vibrant in colour! Dial the heat of spice up or down with the amount of added green chili. Serve piping hot on its own or enjoy with your favourite side.

Crispy Sweet Potato Patties with Spicy Cilantro Chutney

Vibrant cilantro chutney brings heat and lime tanginess to balance out the delicious earthy flavour of these creamy sweet potato patties. Crisp on the outside and packed full of fibre and antioxidants, hemp hearts and chickpea flour add extra protein to these nutritious and savoury snacks. Delicious served hot with chutney, they’re also a welcomed addition to a green salad or wrap.

Mussel, Bean, and Pumpkin Stew

It’s time to mussel up your holiday meals. The quick-cooking shellfish adds a meaty element to this elegant, yet uncomplicated, stew. Shelling the mussels saves your dinner company from some potentially embarrassing table splatter. The stew really should be served with a good crusty bread.

Crabby Cakes with Seaweed Pesto

Flaky, tender, and creamy, these plant-based crab cakes are the answer to a no-fish main on your holiday table. The seaweed pesto adds an unmistakable taste of the sea. Heart of palm, a vegetable harvested from palm trees, serves as a plant-based stand-in for crab meat with its texture and appearance. You can find it in the canned vegetable aisle of most grocery stores. Wakame can replace dulse for use in the pesto.

Smoked Mackerel Gratin

This hearty dish brings together the best of both potato gratin and seafood casserole. Sustainably sourced smoked Atlantic mackerel, high in heart- and brain-benefitting omega-3s, is paired with a rich creamy sauce, peas, and a mashed potato crust. It’s also a main dish that can be prepared ahead of time and simply reheated in the oven before serving. Swap out the mackerel for fillets of smoked wild salmon, if you prefer.
