It is the season of soups and stews! For this recipe, I made Moroccan Harira Soup in the Instant Pot. I used @dimitras.dishes recipe, and it was fantastic. A couple variations - I used veal instead of lamb and i omitted the celery. Highly reccomend for a fast hearty and filling dish.

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
12 oz (340g) boneless lamb, chicken, or beef
1 large onion, finely chopped
5-6 garlic cloves, grated
28 oz (800g) crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 ribs celery with leaves, finely chopped
15 oz (425g) canned cooked chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 cup uncooked green lentils, soaked and rinsed
1/4 cup rice or vermicelli noodles
8 cups chicken broth or water
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
lemon wedges
1 cup finely chopped fresh parsley or cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground dried ginger
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste by @thehamidfeed

FOOD REVIEW - Riviera (Ottawa📍)

Went to Riviera recently for dinner with a friend. I got the lobster spaghetti, while my friend went with the flat iron steak. We also started with the beef tartare and mushrooms on toast.

The ambiance here is amazing, and the service was great. The lobster spaghetti definitely lived up to the hype, and both appetizers were standouts. Portions were also surprisingly generous.

Another big plus for me: Riviera uses halal chicken and beef.

It is quite pricey, so it's not exactly your everyday dinner, and the menu was somewhat limited.

Overall, a really good dinner and definitely worth checking out.

Tandoori Chicken with a side of brown butter & butternut squash salad! 👨‍🍳

Tandoori chicken:

- Any pre-mixed tandoori masala seasoning
-Olive oil
-The seasoning I used didn't have salt, so I added it, but that is not always the case

Brown Butter and Squash Lentil Salad:

This New York Times cooking recipe called for sweet potato; however, I used butternut squash instead because I like its taste better. I also roasted them in the air fryer instead of the oven.

For the salad: 1 lb sweet potatoes, butternut squash or carrots, cut into ¾-inch pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt + black pepper
1 cup French green or black lentils, rinsed
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
½ cup crumbled goat cheese (optional)

Brown Butter Vinaigrette: 1 tbsp minced fresh sage
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp maple syrup
Salt + black pepper by @thehamidfeed

Meal prep Sundays! Slow cooker honey chipotle chicken tacos 🌮

Another @nytcooking gem. This recipe is super easy to make, as you essentially dump all the the ingredients into the slow cooker and forget about it for 3 to 5 hours. It came out super juicy and flavourful.

I doubled the recipe and adjusted the ingredients accordingly.

I may have missed the window to get a smoked meat sandwich while I was in Montreal recently, but I didn't want to miss it today. I stumbled on this hidden gem on my way to pick something up on the other side of town today. @markies_smokedmeat was worth the pit stop. Full disclosure: I didn't know what to expect, having not had a smoked meat sandwich in Montreal, but I imagine this would come close.

I ordered the smoked meat sandwich with a side of poutine. The sandwich was huge and flavourful, and the poutine gravy was very rich with crispy fries and a good amount of squeaky cheese curds. I would say the poutine was pretty up there compared to others i have tried in Ottawa.

For this week's meal prep I made the @nytcooking recipe for butter chicken. The one thing I omitted from it was the cinnamon stick which I didnt have.

If you are looking for a halal, Middle Eastern-inspired breakfast, @eggstatic_canada is for you! Everything was so fresh, and the food arrived at the table really fast. We ordered the Nashville fried chicken Benedict and the pulled beef Benedict. For the appetizer, we ordered the labneh and pita.

The labneh is probably the best I have ever had, and their pita is made in-store; it comes hot and fluffy. The mains were excellent as well; the portions were big, and it was very flavourful. Although the pulled beef was good and highly reviewed, my favourite is still the fried chicken benedict.

The service was a bit slow, however, it was peak hours and it would have been better had we made a reservation.

Important note: if you are going, call ahead and make a reservation as they are always super busy and we had to wait a while.
