CHIPOTLE BEEF STEW RECIPE

Our Discover Blog is home to a treasure trove of recipes for savory soups, stews, and broths. Cooler weather means simmering pots of delicious, meaty, flavor-packed meals.

This Chipotle Beef Stew from Catalina Castravet of Sweet and Savory Meals, is “tender and hearty, infused with aromatic Mexican flavors, and made with chipotle chiles in adobo sauce for some heat.” ~ Catalina Castravet

Put this stew on the stove or in the slow cooker to simmer while the family enjoys the great outdoors. After a long simmer, this beefy stew will be ready and waiting to warm up your insides.

As with all soups and stews, this one is versatile. Have some extra veggies in the fridge? Include them in the recipe. Change up the meat the next time you serve this to make something a little different. Try it in a dutch oven or pressure cooker. Add some heat to the recipe with more or less hot peppers. There are lots of ways to make this your own, and a family favorite for years to come…

Food Ideas For Large Groups

Summer is just around the corner and chances are, you’re dusting down the BBQ, getting out your most fetching apron and are ready to get your cook on for the first garden party of the season. BBQ’s present the perfect opportunity to extend the invitation to a larger group than you would usually entertain for, as your guests can all spread out across the garden while soaking up those rays.

Larger groups, however, do prove to be a little tricker to cater for, as you’ll have to consider cooking space on the BBQ as well as the time you want to spend slaving over the coals. Fortunately, there are so many great BBQ food ideas for large groups out there, allowing you to display your best culinary talents while wowing your guests with tasty food for all group sizes.

Bread Recipes You Have to Try

Bread has been around since ancient times. Archaeologists found breadcrumbs made with wheat, barley, and plant roots in the Black Desert in Jordan, dating back 14,600 years. Also, grinding stones about 30,000 years old have been found in Europe and Australia. 

Another exciting find is a slab of artwork from the 4th dynasty showing Egyptians seated at a table with slices of bread. Conical loaves of a bread-like substance were commonly found buried with the dead in the 5th dynasty as grave goods. Also, paintings found in pyramids show that the dead were buried with loaves of bread for nourishment in the afterlife. What Is So Special About Bread?

Fall-Off-Bone Ribs Recipes

Pork ribs are well-known around the barbecue grill as well as the dinner table and have been for over a century. Prior to the 1900s, ribs were tossed in the trash (or to the dogs) because butchers could not fit the spareribs in the barrels they used back then. The earliest barbecue ribs are thought to have started when farmers had pig roasts, where the whole pig was roasted on a spit.

Although most people think of pork ribs when they think of ribs, you cannot forget the other fine meats available. Beef ribs are almost as popular as pork and then there are lamb, venison, and even buffalo. Other lesser-used meats include kangaroo, alpaca, llama, gator, and bison as well as ostrich and goat. But no matter what kind of meat you use, you always strive for that fall-off-the-bone tenderness. Read the whole post here…
