Sometimes I’m craving a diner-style griddle burger with a classic hamburger sauce. This is a fairly close match to a popular burger chain that hasn’t made it to our region yet.
Classic beany dip for nachos, which is also required for most family gatherings.
We were at the Rempels’ for dinner and Grandma made this corn salsa. We could not get enough of it.
Something similar to the fresh salsa at Gina’s Mexican Café, our favourite Nanaimo spot. This is a fairly liquidy salsa, great as a starter for a dinner party (or snack).
Our take on pebre, the Chilean table salsa: a fresh, chunky tomato salsa sharpened with lime, lemon, and a splash of red wine vinegar. It’s better after a rest in the fridge, once the onion mellows and the juices come together.
A classic fresh tomatillo salsa. It’s fresh, tart, and great on chips or tacos.
This is a quick, refrigerator sweet pickle, perfect for beets, cabbage, and other hearty veg.
This vegetarian pepperoni substitute is great for pizzas, calzones, and rice dishes. It’s firm and sliceable like a hard cheese, with a nice, peppery flavour. It browns nicely, so put it on top of the cheese when using it on pizza!
A fresh-tasting sauce, perfect for nachos, tacos, or over rice bowls.
These are delicious little pickles, perfect for fresh roast beef sandwiches.
This is our version of a common Thai side.
