Black bean chili/4 recipes

Asparagus, mushrooms and a bit of cheese baked on a delicate puff pastry base. Store bought puff pastry saves time while impressing your guests.

The steak was marinated overnight with the wet paste, which not only added tons of flavour to the steak, but also softened up the meat. It didn't take long to grill it. Then we just simply let it rest for about 10 minutes, which is the crucial part of cooking any meat. This step allows meat to rest, and lock all the juice inside the meat when you slice it.

Caramelizing onion and garlic was a great idea, which developed lots of deliciousness; then sautéing the bell peppers together really made the toppings very flavorful. Goat cheese added another layer of tangy creaminess.

Due to its rich beefy flavor, and the hearty belly warming cheese tortellini, this beef tortellini soup has been a family favorite at our home for years.

My craving for Korean food has officially come back to life again, and this was the dish I made for dinner yesterday. Instead of using cooked rice that traditional bibimbap does, this time I cooked soba noodles instead. Sauteed a few veggies that I had on hand separately, tossed with the spicy Korean chili sauce and a bit ketchup, and served with homemade kimchi. YUM!
