Category: Main Dishes

Once upon a time, "seasonal eating" applied to everything -- not just spring onions, summer berries, or fall pumpkins. Meats were seasonal, too. Pork was most plentiful in winter when the cold temperatures insured proper hog butchering conditions. Here's a winter pork roast, where you can make use of whatever winter vegetables you've got on hand. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Homemade Kamut Pasta (soaked for easy digestion!) | Kamut is a great ancient grain to use for pasta because of its hearty, nutty flavor. By soaking, phytic acid is reduced, making digestion easier. We all enjoyed these easy noodles in homemade chicken soup and under beef stew. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

How To Make A Spanish Omelet | I first learned about tortillas -- the Spanish omelet kind -- on the BBC TV River Cottage series with Hugh Fernley-Whitingshall. This recipe includes wild salmon, potatoes, and dill. When cooked, the eggs set the whole mixture into a pie -- or Spanish omelet that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! This post includes a free video, too. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Quick and Easy Chicken Noodle Soup and Fluffy Cornbread from The DIY Pantry | Canned and packaged foods tend to be chock-full of preservatives, unhealthy fats, and other additives -- not to mention, they are usually expensive. But oh, the convenience! When my family and I started moving into eating GNOWFGLINS, I missed the ability to grab a packaged mix and pull together a quick meal. Not any more! Today, since it's January and the doldrums of winter have just begun to set in, I thought some nourishing comfort food from my book, The DIY Pantry, might be just the ticket. In our house, this chicken noodle soup and cornbread often grace our lunch table. | GNOWFGLINS.com

The Big Flat Real Food Reuben Sandwich | Who knew that making a big honkin' loaf-sized sandwich and flattening it under cement blocks, rocks, or gym weights could be so fun (or so delicious)? I'd seen other Big Flat Sandwiches around the internet, but when Wardee first presented the idea of making a real food Big Flat Sandwich, I immediately knew I needed to try my all-time favorite sandwich -- the Reuben. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Cajun food focuses on local ingredients found in the bayous and river delta, and (unsurprisingly) their menus feature fish and seafood quite often. Like catfish, which ranks high on the list of comfort foods for many a Southerner who grew up catching them, rolling them in cornmeal, and frying them. I use eleven different seasonings in my custom spicy blend! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Sausage... A gourmet delicacy, yet it is the essence of nose-to-tail farm frugality. Nothing goes to waste when all the scraps and small pieces of meat are used to make sausage. Salting, smoking, fermenting, and drying are all ways to preserve meat for longer without refrigeration. Sausage made at home from the best local, pastured meats, mixed with tons of wholesome flavor, avoids all the chemicals found in processed meats.

Sheet pan meals -- like this grain-free, dairy-free Sheet Pan Orange, Herb, & Olive Chicken -- are so simple! They usually take very little prep time, and sometimes, you can do all of the prep work in advance. Simply throw most of the ingredients into a marinating bag or bowl, refrigerate, and bake it on a sheet pan when you're ready! SO EASY!
