Small bites that accompany a larger meal or are great on their own!

by Dan Clapson, “For myself, there is plenty of nostalgia to be found in meatloaf. It was one of the first dishes I remember making on my own as a kid and it is a dish that has provided much comfort during many a chilly Prairie winter. I have a few meatloaf recipes in my arsenal, but this one that opts for ground Alberta pork, ground pork sausage, pureed dry red lentils and a deliciously easy-to-make mustard and brown sugar glaze.”

Looking to shake up your dinner routine? These Dill Pickle Brined Pork Chops are bursting with bold, tangy flavour thanks to an overnight soak in quality pickle brine. Paired with a zesty lemon barley pilaf that makes the most of pan drippings, this dish is a true celebration of Prairie ingredients.
