Beef stew is served with colcannon in this recipe that I shared with girlfriends in my recipe club last year. It is a yummy Irish dish that's a great alternative to corned beef for St. Patrick's Day and a wonderful anytime dish!

This butter chicken recipe, or chicken makhani, is one of my favorite Indian dishes. It features a full-flavored sauce that complements the chicken well. It can be made as mild or spicy as you wish by adjusting the cayenne. Serve with basmati rice and naan bread.
