  • TASTES from HOME Recipes from the Refugee Community PREFACE
    TASTES FROM HOME Recipes from the Refugee Community PREFACE In writing the articles for this cookbook, I had the privilege and pleasure of speaking with refugees from all over the world who now call Canada home. Sometimes we had the good fortune of meeting in person, but because this project originated during the 2020 pandemic, often we spoke over the phone or through a video call, each of us holed up in our homes. They shared their stories, and they shared their recipes. From one foodie to another, the excitement and pride each person felt about their recipes was palpable. For many, the recipes hold a personal connection to a family member or to a memory, and the food is an indisputable connection to their culture. Each person has a unique story, with different outlooks, challenges, and rewards, but I was struck by one thing they all had in common—a desire to give back to Canada. From the Mexican restaurant owner who plans to employ dozens of Canadians, to the Syrian entrepreneur who donated the proceeds from his chocolate factory to Canadians impacted by wildfires, to the former Governor General who became a figurehead for the country, each person expressed profound gratitude and an eagerness to help the country that took them in. We often hear about refugees in abstract faraway terms, through statistics about the number of people fleeing from one country to another, but in speaking with these 14 people those statistics became humanized and the abstract became real experiences. Their stories are captivating, their recipes are mouthwatering, and I hope you enjoy both in the following pages.

  • Ardei Umpluå£I (Romanian Stuffed Peppers)
    Ardei UmpluÅ£i (Romanian Stuffed Peppers) Romania has had an international mix of influences that yields a hearty, filling Eastern European cuisine. Wine club members will enjoy Ardei UmpluÅ£i, a Romanian dish of stuffed red or orange peppers with the Halewood Wines 2010 Prahova Valley Pinot Noir, Special Reserve. (Recipe courtesy of Wineloverspage.com). Ingredients • 12 oz ground beef, pork or a combination • 1/2 of a sweet onion, about 1 cup, chopped, divided • 1 slice white bread, soaked in warm water and squeezed dry • 1 Tbsp cooked rice • 1/2 tsp dill, finely chopped • salt and black pepper • 2 large red or orange bell peppers • 1 Tbsp olive oil • 1 Tbsp tomato paste • 1-1/2 cups water • sour cream • 1-2 Tbsp parsley, chopped In a large bowl, gently mix the ground meat, about half of the chopped onion, bread, rice, dill, and salt and pepper, to taste. Cut off the top of the peppers, remove the core and discard the seeds. Fill each pepper with the ground meat mixture. If there is any meat left over, shape it into 3/4-inch meatballs. In a pot just large enough to hold the peppers, sauté the rest of the chopped onion in the olive oil over medium-high heat until it is translucent and starting to brown. Stir in the tomato paste and then add the water. Reduce heat and simmer briefly, stirring now and then, to make a sauce. Put the stuffed peppers and any additional meatballs into the sauce; add a little more water if needed to reach close to the tops of the peppers.
