Comfort Food
PROTEINS: Ditch the generic mass-produced meats and embrace the locally raised and caught options. Think about Manitoba bison for a lean, rich protein that is packed with flavour. Pick up some prairie-raised turkey and chicken from co-ops like Granny’s Poultry. Find the fresh, delicate flavour of Lake Winnipeg pickerel from Gimli Fish Market for a low-fat, high-protein main. Eggs from the many local Manitoba egg farmers are a surefire hit for any festive feast (see recipes featured in this issue of Savour Manitoba ). This is your delicious roadmap to indulg- ing in Manitoba’s finest fall flavours, offering inspiration for simple weeknight pleasures to complex culinary feats, whether you’re dining as a couple, a family or hosting a large gather- ing of family and friends. BY MYLES O’REILLY W hen the leaves begin to fall and there is a brisk bite to the air, we experience a strong pull toward warmth, coziness and, most importantly, hearty food to warm the soul. Fall in Manitoba is a season of plentiful harvests and a time when the roots, grains, game and freshwater fish of the province shine. Fall is the perfect time to take simple, beloved comfort foods and transform them into truly luxurious, unforgettable experiences using local seasonal ingredients.
