Unlike its puritan cousin, of the 2% milk variety, this version is creamy, rich, and is definitely not the healthiest thing you'll ever eat.

]]> http://www.thehungrybachelor.com/recipe/merguez-spinach-pasta Sat, 14 Aug 2010 08:00:00 EST Hands down one of my favourite sausages is Merguez, a North African lamb sausage (although it's sometimes mixed with beef) which has a unique combination of spices resulting in a totally unique flavour compared to our North American sausage varieties. This recipe is delicious and takes no time at all to make.

]]> http://www.thehungrybachelor.com/recipe/roasted-bone-marrow Sat, 03 Jul 2010 08:00:00 EST Just a rustic tasty appetizer to enjoy with a delicious glass of red wine and some sprinkled fleur de sel. Simple and most of all, they're in expensive. Flavour packed and something generally just different to have once in a while.

]]> http://www.thehungrybachelor.com/recipe/southern-style-hash Sun, 04 Apr 2010 08:00:00 EST A fun new way to enjoy breakfast, easy to make, hearty to the max, and yes, rustic. A truly southern style breakfast is on the way - subsitute corned beef for any meat product - fresh pork chop, chicken, shrimp, or, if you want to be a baller - lobster.

]]> http://www.thehungrybachelor.com/recipe/cream-of-mushroom-soup-chicken-thighs Sun, 04 Apr 2010 08:00:00 EST This recipe is one of my favourites when I don't feel like cooking. Saying that this is an easy recipe to make is a bit of an understatement, in point of fact, if you were to develop a scale which measured the ratio of prep time to deliciousness this would be right at the top of the scale.

]]> http://www.thehungrybachelor.com/recipe/tuna-casserole Sat, 03 Apr 2010 08:00:00 EST This is a super rustic (READ: Quick & Dirty) version of tuna casserole. It's easy to make and can be modified without losing its core goodness.

If I was on Hell's Kitchen and cooking Ramsay my signature dish - it would be this - Classic Moussaka - I've literally made 400+ Moussaka’s in my day - working as prep chef in a Greek resty, I had to make 10 each day, so safe to say, I've nailed this recipe down. Twisted into my own version, if you follow the technique and ingredients accurately,  you will have a masterpiece afterwards, which in turn should lead to some heavy making out with your girl after you've had supper...I guarantee it.

Rustic, hearty and flavour packed! It's pretty easy to make and takes no time at all - saute up some sausage and other random items, toss with goat cheese and penne and you're laughin'.

]]> http://www.thehungrybachelor.com/recipe/andouille-and-mascarpone-pasta Sun, 14 Feb 2010 08:00:00 EST This simple, flexible and delicious recipe is perfect when you need to make something fast - it literally takes about 15 minutes to make. Note that you can substitute the andouille sausage with another meat product. I just happen to like andouille in this situation.

]]> http://www.thehungrybachelor.com/recipe/traditional-beef-bourguignon Sun, 28 Jun 2009 08:00:00 EST This is a super traditional French recipe for Beef Bourguignon. In fact, this is based on a classic Burgundian recipe I found years ago. Many of the modern takes on Beef Bourguignon will often include tomato sauce, beef stock and sometimes celery. Sounds good right? It sure is, it's called Daube De Boeuf, or Beef Braised in Red Wine and is a completely different dish. Enjoy!

]]> http://www.thehungrybachelor.com/recipe/mushroom-puree-with-fresh-thyme Sun, 28 Jun 2009 08:00:00 EST A simple rustic take on mushroom soup that moms made when we were all youngans playing in sandboxes and then coming in for soup and a sandwich at noon while watching sesame street. This version is really easy, fast, hearty and packs a fresh herb punch..POW, right in the kisser!

]]> http://www.thehungrybachelor.com/recipe/spice-braised-lamb-shanks Sat, 24 Jan 2009 08:00:00 EST Another fantastic take on braised lamb shanks. This version has sweet and savory undertones which pair really well with garlic mashed and a hearty red wine gravy.

]]> http://www.thehungrybachelor.com/recipe/artichoke-and-mushroom-ravioli Sun, 30 Nov 2008 08:00:00 EST Great starter pasta - I always make really big ones, like almost the size of a hockey puck, so everyone has one nice juicy large ravioli, with some sort of garnish. I'll go through how I have done it in the past. everything is made from scratch - the pasta, the filling and obviously the sauce too. This particular ravioli is sauteed artichokes, mushrooms, some anchovies, onions, fresh thyme, and then mix in a handfull of gruyere cheese. I serve it with a light lemon thyme cream, garnished with a small roast tomato and calabrese cured deli. This starter will challenege all your skills - patience, creativity, presentation and timing. Best to make it if your making it for six people. Try different variations for fillings and pasta shapes, have fun, thats the most important element.

]]> http://www.thehungrybachelor.com/recipe/summer-gazpacho Sat, 29 Nov 2008 08:00:00 EST The best soup in the summer hands down. Absolutley loving up on this recipe. A snap to make and a truly great soup to sip or chug !

Simple, cheap and surprisingly hearty.

]]> http://www.thehungrybachelor.com/recipe/braised-beef-shanks Mon, 24 Nov 2008 08:00:00 EST Braised beef shanks is true comfort food - it goes down great on Sunday night in the middle of winter with a glass of a robust red wine. Most of people I know are really impressed when you serve this dish, mistakenly thinking that it's really difficult to make, when in fact it's really easy. On top of that, it's really cost effective, averaging out at about $5 per serving.
