Roast

Instructions

“I cook this for family and friends, and I also make it for my mom in Portugal, adding a green or niçoise salad with lettuce from her garden,” says Helena Loureiro, executive chef of the restaurant PortusCalle in Montreal. In the summer, Loureiro grills the chicken, turning occasionally and basting frequently.

Born in Quebec, Lakshmi Sundaram grew up with her father’s Indian culture and her mother’s British culture. She now teaches cooking classes in the Ottawa area. “This is one of my favourite recipes,” she says. “When my sons were younger, I would pack leftovers for their lunch. Now, when they come to visit, this is the recipe they request.”

Roasting rainbow trout in red peppers gives a lovely sweet flavour to the fish. Top it off with our tangy cilantro sauce.

A quick roast of feta and broccoli—alongside some chicken and almonds—brings out their strong, surprisingly complementary flavours.
