Cozy Recipes for Chilly Nights

Comfort food is the perfect antidote to chilly weather. This is the time of year for cozy meals that will help you thaw out on the coldest winter nights. We dug through our archives and compiled four warming recipes that we love to make throughout the winter.

Here are four of our favorites:

Moroccan soup harira

Harira

Harira is a fragrant Moroccan stew with a tomato and lentil base. Lamb is the star of this hearty recipe that is delicious all year round, but truly shines on chilly nights.

Poached Eggs in Red Wine Sauce

We love this classic Burgundian recipe for Poached Eggs in Red Wine Sauce inspired by Beef Bourguignon and based on a version by Marjorie Taylor from The Cook’s Atelier.  Make it for Meatless Mondays (for dinner or breakfast!) or try it served over a big, juicy steak!

Wine pairing: Bar Dog Pinot Noir (Shop Now | Find Near You)

Tip: Pick up an extra bottle of the wine you use for the sauce and serve with the dish.  You always want to cook with a wine that’s good enough to drink with the meal!

Crab Rigatoni from Jamie Oliver

Crab Rigatoni

This dish is made special by the addition of the crab — and is far easier to pull together than it looks. Just add seafood and vegetables to this homey dish for maximum flavor and nutrition. Or as Jamie Oliver would tell us about this recipe, “The combined sweetness of the crab and tomatoes is a great flavour match for the fresh, aniseedy kick of the fennel.” Get the recipe here.

Tip: Serve with Caesar salad and garlic bread.
