Easy Sourdough Bread is a great accompaniment to this hearty main dish. The 'sour' in the bread comes from the yogurt or sour cream and vinegar used when making the dough. Ground ginger adds a nice kick to this chewy, crusty bread. And Easy Tartufo is another great make-ahead dessert. Be sure to set your dinner table with a red checked tablecloth and some fat candles in chunky pottery candleholders. And pass the red wine!
