Leite's Culinaria

We're hearing a lot about how easy and insanely delicious this classic Mexican pork stew is. And how loved ones are clamoring to leftovers to work the next day. Sounds like a keeper to us.

Made with potatoes, broccoli, and vegetable stock, this is rich, velvety, and comforting as heck. And nary a drop of cream although you'd never guess that by tasting it. A light drizzle of tangy feta yogurt sauce makes it something sorta special.

Because who doesn't want pie for dinner?! And this vegetable galette gets it exactly right with a buttery crust, a creamy cheese sauce, and oh-so-sweet roasted veggies.

Here’s a soothing weeknight dinner fix with a ridiculously high taste-to-effort ratio that's easily customizable. Sorta like the Mexican tortilla soup equivalent of Taco Tuesday. 

Applesauce gone to finishing school. That's how we think of this apple pear sauce sweetened with maple syrup and seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg. Stovetop or slow cooker friendly.

Essentially Irish stew with some lovely store-bought puff pastry plopped on top. Easy peasy. Hello, St. Paddy!

An unconventional jumble of roast vegetables, crisp bacon, maple cinnamon pecans, and a dreamy, creamy maple-Sriracha yogurt sauce with a runny egg as a final flourish. Um. Yum.

Don't let the name of this Malaysian classic terrify you. Whether you love sweat-inducing, throat-tickling, gasping-for-water heat or prefer something milder, you'll find what you want here, tailoring the chiles to whatever your fancy.

Craving a burger (always?!) but also sorta wanting some measure of healthiness? Here's our solution. Craving satisfied. No resolutions broken.

After tasting this richly spiced yet surprisingly nuanced recipe we asked them to try, someone suggested we change our name to "Leite's Cauliflower." Hmmm...

Dinner dilemma? Enter this delicate baked fish with crisp seasoned bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese with a white wine pan sauce that's proven to be surprisingly popular with kids and adults alike.

Hearty and satisfying and reheats beautifully. Our sorta winter dinner, office lunch, afternoon nosh, and midnight snack.
