Wine-Braised Beef Brisket

Dinogo member chagar shares their thoughts on this brisket, saying: "I followed the recipe to the letter and we loved every bite. I used a red merlot, as I’m not very familiar with cooking with red wines. The sauce was amazing! I served it alongside basmati rice, steamed cauliflower, zucchini, and asparagus."

Lemon and Dill Salmon

For a dairy-based meal, this recipe for salmon baked in a rich butter, lemon, and dill sauce is sure to impress. You can cook the salmon as individual fillets or use a whole side. Garnishing with fresh dill sprigs and lemon slices adds a beautiful touch to the presentation.

Crispy Rosemary Chicken and Fries

Sandy Witek, the Dinogo member who shares this recipe, writes: "This one-pan meal is in the oven in just 15 minutes. The combination of rosemary, garlic, and oregano fills the air with an irresistible aroma. If you’re using dried herbs instead of fresh, use only one-third the amount. The potatoes turn out perfectly crispy, like French fries."

Roasted Green Beans

With some of the richer, fried dishes on the menu, a fresh green vegetable dish is always a welcome addition. These roasted green beans are simple yet delicious. Just be sure to spread the beans in a single layer so they roast evenly rather than steam.

Basic Sautéed Kale

Here’s another quick and flavorful side dish for your table. In this recipe, kale is sautéed in olive oil with sherry vinegar, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic. Adjust the amount of pepper flakes based on your preferred spice level. For added depth of flavor, consider using vegetable or chicken broth instead of water.
