Stew
The aromas of stew on the stove are comfort enough, but sitting down to a lunch bowl of chunky meats and veggies in a rich broth takes comfort food to a new level. Make up a double batch of stew for lunch, and freeze half for the next Sunday afternoon you need a comfort food fix.
Middle Eastern Chickpea & Rice Stew
The nutty goodness of slowly browned onions, spices and sweet potato are offset by a burst of fresh cilantro in this chickpea and rice stew. Serve this hearty dish with whole-wheat pita and a salad of sliced cucumbers tossed with yogurt and a pinch of salt.
A riff on the Egyptian classic ful medames, a highly seasoned fava bean mash, this version is made with easier-to-find edamame. Edamame (fresh green soybeans) have been shown to lower LDL cholesterol. They can be found shelled in the freezer section of well-stocked supermarkets. This stew is great served with couscous, bulgur or warm whole-wheat pita bread to soak up the sauce.
These festive holiday dishes are just right for an Easter meal with family and friends.
