Brazilian Black Beans
The texture of this spicy Brazilian dish falls in between a soup and a stew. Cook it down if you prefer it thicker.

Tuna with Orange, Ginger, and Lemongrass Sauce
"My wife and I had some great fish dishes at the Alpine Bistro in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, "says Sanford M. Skalka, New Providence, New Jersey. "I would like the recipe for the sesame-crusted tuna steak, which came with a flavorful Asian-style sauce."
Sauteed Calf's Liver with Red Wine Vinegar
A popular entrée in Tuscany, and throughout Italy. Our quick version would go well with tagliatelle with herbed tomato sauce and steamed baby zucchini. Offer biscotti and Vin Santo (Tuscan dessert wine) afterward.
Crostini with Eggplant Pesto
Leaving a bit of skin on the eggplant adds to the pesto's texture and color. Pour a Pinot Noir or Provençal rosé with the meal.
Shallot and Garlic Butter
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time.
