Type of dish: Main Courses
Chicken with Béchamel Sauce
Wondering what to make for dinner? Try this exquisite and tender chicken fillet with Béchamel sauce. Don’t be tempted to simplify the recipe with a quick sour cream gravy; the classic French white sauce is what gives this dish its special, silky, and slightly spicy flavor. The creamy sauce, with its hint of nutmeg, perfectly complements the chicken, creating a dish that is both satisfying and light, and surprisingly simple to prepare. A true taste of elegance for any meal!
Lenten Cabbage Rolls with Vegetables
Delicious homemade cabbage rolls, known as Golubtsy, are a perfect main course. While they require a bit of effort, the result is a satisfying all-in-one dish: vegetables, grains, and traditionally meat. However, this Lenten version proves you don’t need meat for incredible flavor! These vegetarian cabbage rolls, made without meat or sour cream, are just as tasty as the classic. If you enjoy this recipe, feel free to experiment with fillings like sautéed mushrooms or other grains like millet or buckwheat.
