It’s been a while since I was in college, but when it comes to care packages, I’m quite sure things haven’t changed very much.

A few favorite store-bought things are always nice, but the very best things will always be freshly made snacks and treats. They’re a nice reminder of home and help fuel late-night study sessions and tough exams.

I hate talking about diet. The subject usually hits on the same frequency and sensitivity as politics or religion. But of course, just as it goes with most small talk, when someone figures out what I do for a living the questions start to spew out.

lamb chili 2Your next pot of chili doesn’t have to be the same old ground beef chili.

Instead, cook up a pot of ground lamb seasoned with things like turmeric and ginger and a few tablespoons of fiery harissa. The end result is a meal that’s still recognizable as chili but has delicious new flavor.

You know the drill with lamb by now: it’s a nutritionally complete protein packed with all 8 essential amino acids and a whole lot of vitamins and minerals. Lamb can be challenging to cook, but when your butcher grinds it for you and it’s used as the base for chili, there aren’t any worries about overcooking the meat and making it tough. This is an easy and stress-free way to cook lamb.

Harissa is used as the main spice component in this lamb chili. This Middle Eastern condiment gives chili (even beef chili) amazing flavor and adjustable heat. Two tablespoons of harissa adds a slow, robust burn to a pot of chili. Cut back to 1 tablespoon for less heat, or, use the harissa strictly as a condiment. That way, everyone can give their own bowl of chili as much or as little heat as they want.

Servings: 4

Time in the Kitchen: 1.5 hours

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ pounds ground lamb (680 g)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (15 ml)
  • 1 white or yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 red bell peppers, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin (5 ml)
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric (2.5 ml)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger (a pinch)
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (a pinch)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste (5 ml)
  • 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomato (425 g)
  • 1 cup water (240 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons harissa, or more or less to taste (15 ml)
  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish

Instructions:

Warm the olive oil over medium-high heat then add the onion, garlic and red pepper. Saute until onion is soft, about 5 minutes.

Add cumin, turmeric, ground ginger and cinnamon. Cook 1 minute, stirring the spices into the onions. Add ground meat and season with salt.

Break up the ground meat as it cooks. When it is almost cooked through and barely pink, add the can of diced tomato, water and harissa.

Simmer gently, with a lid just barely cracked, for 1 hour. Stir occasionally.

Top with cilantro and serve, with harissa on the side.

To avoid injury during your daily exercise program, stretching is essential. This is another reason why I support and appreciate some forms of exercise like yoga, which can assist in strengthening posture, increasing flexibility, and giving a sense of internal peace and well-being.

I’ll be completely honest: Being a food writer and photographer means my family is used to eating odd food at even odder times of the day. During the summer holidays, this is not much of an issue – my daughter will happily eat breakfast for dinner if I’ve been shooting pancakes in the bright afternoon light, or sit down for supper at 8 p.m. after I’ve taken advantage of the soft evening light to get a nicely shadowed shot.

But come September, the start of the school year means it’s time to get everyone back in a regular routine. I need a repertoire of simple meals that I can make within 45 minutes (at most!) with only a little planning and prep work. I always fall back on meals inspired by my ethnic background — things like quick curries, stir-fries in the wok, and bowls of lentil dal with easy roti on the side.
