Adrian got this recipe from his Lithuanian friends while he was at Cedarville. This is a comforting soup and reheats very well. Eat on its own or with a side of brown/sourdough bread and butter.
Lithuanian Fish Soup
Butter Chicken
Chicken Fajita
Red Lentil Dahl
A simple side dish to serve with rice or naan.
Vegetable Stew
An excellent stew to serve on top of rice or Luphuftu.
If you have an overabundance of fresh tomatoes, they work wonderfully in this recipe. Just be sure to skin them before adding.
Afghan Red Bean Chili
Our friend “Muzzy” made us this recipe so many years ago. It is an easy vegetarian dish that is great with spaghetti.
Samosas
This was a favorite treat at all church potlucks! While this is very close to what I remember from Swaziland, I would love to be able to compare it and see how close we really are.
If you do not like spice, cut the spices in half for your first batch. These are not hot, but they are spicy.
Mississippi Pot Roast
I am not sure why this is called “Mississippi” pot roast, but it is very good. A friend from work told Allan about it and we decided to try it. We are glad that we did, it is an easy dinner idea for after church or company
Our roast was not completely defrosted, so we turned the crock pot on high for a few hours and then reduced the heat to low for the rest of the time. It still came out wonderfully.
While this would be good with rice or potatoes, we served it with farro and cauliflower rice and sugar snap peas. For those who like mushrooms, they are a great addition also.
Chili Soup
This is just a very simple chili recipe with a beef and tomato soup base. It is easy to do in a stock pot, but if you prefer a crock pot, set the settings to low and cook all day.
The seasoning are on the very mild side. Be sure to adjust to your preferences.
Gravy (and Biscuits)
This is a family favorite recipe. It is a very adaptable. Add cheese to the gravy if desired, adjust the amount of onions, use different seasonings if you wish. We usually enjoy it as written.
Use your favorite biscuit recipe, but we prefer it with large buttermilk biscuits. Since this is a heavy meal, a simple fruit salad served alongside is wonderful.
