Favourite Comfort Foods that do not skimp on flavour! Some twists on old favourites plus new flavours to brighten your comfort food menus!
Favourite Comfort Foods
In mid January, nobody can be blamed for getting a little burnt-out from meal planning and preparation. Winter just seems to suck my inspiration too.
But there is a way to fight back…with flavour.
We often think of slow cooked meals as comfort food. In our family, that’s not always the case.
An indulgent seafood and pasta dinner or an incredibly flavourful Moroccan Meatball Stew make just as many appearances as an Irish Stew at our table.
That got me thinking of making this post of some of our traditional comfort food with a twist as well as some quicker meals when you need comfort food n a hurry.
All of them have been incredibly popular over the years on Rock Recipes and I hope they find their way into your own kitchens on multiple occasions too. Bon appétit!
