FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (GF)

Slow-braised beef and cabbage stew in a sweet, savoury tomato base, brimming with vegetables.

WHAT’S STEWIN’ (GF)
Good old fashioned beef stew. Lots of beef, potatoes, and vegetables braised in a flavourful stock.

Beef is braised with herbs, spices, onions and garlic until the meat is fork tender, then it's combined with vegetables, creamy barley and white beans that have been slow cooked in a rich beef stock.

RATATOUILLE NIÇOISE (V) (GF)
A vegetarian delight! Zucchini, eggplant, sweet peppers, mushrooms and onions simmer in a tomato broth. Delicious as a main course or side dish.

This hearty stew is full of french lentils and chunks of carrot, potato, celery and tomato all simmered together in an earthy red wine and vegetable stock.

PASTA E FAGIOLI

Chili & Salsa

Sun, 30 Dec 2007 12:12:12 -0500

SMOKE, NO FIRE (GF)
This is for the person who loves chili – but for its flavour, not its bite.

WHERE THERE’S SMOKE...(GF)
I’m not gonna lie to you; this carne-filled chili packs a kick. But it’s the kind of heat that warms the back of your throat. And it’s full of flavour.

FIRE! (GF)
You guessed it. The same as above but... well, as they say, “some like it hot.”

EENIE MEENIE CHILI BEANIE (V) (GF)
A Vegetarian favourite! I mix six types of beans in this hearty, flavourful chili.

WHAT ARE YA, CHICKEN? CHILI! (GF)
This colourful hearty chili was originally called Spicy Pepper Chicken chili because it's spicy, loaded with all different types of peppers and ground Chicken. It has a yummy smokey south western flavour that will keep you coming back for more!

SALSA (V) (GF)

Comes in mild, medium and hot.

GINGER SPICE (V) (GF)

I'll tell you what you want, what you really really want is to try this yummy Carrot and Ginger soup. Coconut milk, nutmeg and other warm spices bring everything together but it's the ginger that really gives this soup it's zigazig ahh.
