Cowboy stew/6 recipes

Love this mediterranean style pasta salad! Marinated artichoke hearts, olives, and feta cheese were a delicious combination. The cherry tomatoes and broccoli add the fresh taste, sometimes we add several strips of roasted bell pepper, or freshly sliced mushrooms, or a few coarsely chopped sun-dried tomatoes.

A savory and delicious stew that's made with red lentils, basmati rice, potatoes and pinch of hungarian paprika.

A tastier variation of the traditional Polish version

Beef chili with navy beans, one of our many easy chili recipes. Perfect for simmering on the stovetop or use your crock-pot for a slow-cooker chili recipe.

This decadent brownie recipe was recently clipped from my local newspaper.

A cozy and comfy miso stew is ideal for cool fall and cold winter. Sweet potato, tofu (or you can use cooked chicken or pork meat instead), and mushrooms are browned with garlic, ginger and scallions first to maximize the deliciousness, then simmered in a miso based soup. Warms you up in a second!

A hearty beef stew served over mashed potatoes - a cold weather delight!

This Mexican style enchilada casserole is loaded with flavor. Sauteed vegetables, spices and cheese make this casserole absolutely cheesy and delicious.

Last summer, we had some fresh tomatillo from our farmer's share, then we found this recipe and gave it a try. The flavor was so good, we followed the recipe exactly, but you don't like too spicy, you can reduce the amount of the green chilis. The result will be still outstanding! It can be served warm or chilled.

Cheesy, creamy and tasty.

From across Northern Italy there are many variations. A rich broth, juicy Italian tomatoes and rich herb simmered for a long time. I used a mixture of sliced mushrooms from my local supermarket and dried lobster, oyster and shitake mushrooms. Then used the mushroom juice in place of chicken broth. Outstanding reduction of rich comfort flavors.

A hearty and warm choice for those cold winter nights.

I omitted the parsley and scallions (had none) and used chopped onion instead. I also added some red pepper flakes for some heat. I treated this as a marinade for my boneless, skinless breasts, which cut cut into strips and marinated overnight. I skewered the strips and grilled for 5-6 min. per side. Excellent flavor.

Enchilada casserole with a twist!

An easy and great tasting way to use up any leftover stuffing from that Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey.

A hearty, delicious stew and very filling as well. Served it with a homemade whole wheat bun, comfy and tasty.
