Not too
long ago, a dinner entree under $30 in
a top Toronto restaurant was about as rare as an apology from Stephen
Harper. Though excesses like the $40 hamburger and the $100 pizza
topped with gold foil are a thing of the past, today’s savvy
restaurateurs are slashing prices more deeply than ever. Here are
NOW’s picks for the 15 best main courses in town with a
sticker
price of $15 – or less! This should help you ride out the
recession with a full belly and a smile in your wallet. read the article
Roasted Root Ragout @ Big Mamma's Boy
Taking its inspiration from
locally sourced seasonal produce, this hearty veggie stew feature
beets, parsnips, turnips, carrots and onions in a piquant tomato sauce
kicked with Ukrainian paprika, and comes sided with brown basmati rice,
arugula tossed in a maple-balsamic vinaigrette, toasted My Market
Bakery sourdough and a dollop of low-fat sour cream. Available nightly
4:30 to 11pm.
"February's such a depressing
time of year," explains Big Mamma's Michael Guenther when asked how he
came up with a dish that not only showcases the roasted vegetables'
naturally sweet flavours but their vibrant colours as well. "Think of
it as a delicious way to cure the winter blues."
