Tagine inspired cod stew

After our Christmas dinner, the last thing I want to see is ham and cookies.  For a light meal that is still winter-worthy I've created a Mediterranean style fish dish using very few ingredients.
 

Steak with mushroom Valdeon topping

Valdeon is a pungent Spanish blue cheese that pairs extremely well with mushrooms and beef of course.  I don't know what to say besides, this recipe is craaaazy good.

Drunken chili

My chili is smoky, spicy and full of delicious meat and vegetables.  There's no way you can have just one bowl.  The secret is the cooking liquid....beer and nothing but beer.

Sausage stuffed bell peppers

 

A meal on their own, these peppers are packed with spicy sausage, rice, vegetables and salty pecorino romano.  Instead of using raw peppers, they are first roasted over the burner to add a smoky element to the dish.
