Serves 6 to 8
Juicy and full of flavor, brisket is tender and delicious and lends itself to a wide variety of sauces and seasonings. This version, which relies on New Mexico chiles for its rich, tangy taste, is mildly piquant.

Lamb Korma with Spinach
A korma is an Indian dish of meat or vegetables braised in a minimal amount of liquid. This version, although very simple, is delicious and benefits from the addition of spinach and yogurt to enrich the sauce. Serve with fluffy rice, preferably basmati, a steamed vegetable and Indian bread.
Classic Beef Stew
If you are halving this recipe, be sure to use a small (2 to 3 quart) slow cooker.
An easy way to roast this quantity of garlic is to peel the cloves, remove the pith (the center part that often sprouts) then place the cloves on a piece of foil. Drizzle about 1⁄2 tsp (2 mL) olive oil over the garlic, then fold up the foil to make a tight packet. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven for 20 minutes.
Short Ribs with Orange Gremolata
Serves 4 to 6
These delicious Italian-inspired ribs are classy enough for the most discriminating guest yet homey enough for a family dinner. Serve with creamy polenta and steamed broccoli spears or rapini for a scrumptious Italian-themed meal.
Easy Pot Roast with Rich Tomato Gravy
Serves 6 to 8
There’s no substitute for a simple old-fashioned pot roast — the kind my mother used to make. Its appetizing aromas, wafting through the house, are every bit as good as the meal itself. This easy-to-make version uses a can of tomato soup to create a rich sumptuous gravy. I’ve added a brown sugar and vinegar finish, which creates a subtle sweet-and-sour taste, but the gravy is delicious without this addition. Whichever version you prefer, serve this with plenty of mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.
