These Chicken Fajita Stuffed Peppers are much lighter, but big on fajita flavor. These peppers are easily customizable if you like them cheesier, spicier, or however you like! The leftovers store perfectly for quick dinners over the next few days, or even packed up for lunch. This recipe isn’t hard by any measure, but there are a few tricks to making the best stuffed peppers possible. What Are Poblano Peppers?...
Suzanne perfected the recipe, especially for cooking over the brazier, and since she had the only home for miles around with a cement floor, a tin roof, and good water, she would often play hostess to nearby volunteers and serve them this chocolate cake (usually sans frosting). Once Suzanne returned to the States, she then spent months of trial and error, and several burnt chocolate cakes, to adjust the recipe for the best chocolate cake (oven-cooked with layering and frosting)....
Not sure where I first heard of this variant on chicken salad, but I’ve been making it for years. Presumably it originated in the Caucasus Mountains, which is where the Circassians live. I’ve net yet met a Circassian, although I suspect they may be something like an Armenian. Or not. Who knows? What I do know is that there are plenty of recipes for this dish out there, but what ties them all together are walnuts, garlic, paprika and poached chicken....
Since this is a classic braised recipe (meaning that majority of the cooking is in liquid in the oven) there is very little chance of the meat drying out and the dish ends up as a classic one-pot dinner. The time on this recipe might seem daunting since it takes over an hour from start to finish but remember that almost all of it is hands off. That said, I usually save Chicken Provencal for the weekends, so I don’t feel rushed and let the braise do its magic in the oven....
These cranberry meatballs are particularly fun, in that they are sweet, sour, spicy, and savory all at once. Cheerful little flavor balls in a festive, candy-red cranberry glaze. Yum! I can say that because I made 6 batches working toward this final recipe, and I think I personally ate most of them. I’m using naturally lean and mild ground turkey which needs all the help it can get. So with these meatballs, I’ve herbed them up a bit with thyme and fennel seeds, and folded in some ricotta cheese and milk-soaked torn bread to help make them tender and soft (but still sturdy enough to pick up with a toothpick)....
You can harvest one in November and still find it perfectly good to eat in February (as long as you store it in a cool, dry place). For the last month I’ve had a hankering for curried squash soup. And for the last month, the squash I picked out for this purpose has been greeting me from the kitchen counter every morning. Well, the stars finally fell into proper squash soup making alignment and the result was this lovely curried squash soup....
But the truth is, many common cocktail syrups are easy to make from scratch, and there’s something satisfying about knowing you can have them—homemade—anytime you like. Take grenadine. If you look at the ingredient list of the mass market versions commonly sold online and in shops, you might wonder: why do I need a syrup with artificial flavors and food dye? And the honest answer is, you don’t! Grenadine at its most basic is a syrup made with pomegranates, sugar, and maybe an additional flavor or two for complexity....
Steel-cut oats normally require a good ten to twenty minutes of stovetop simmering to render them creamy and soft. This is worth the effort for a fantastic bowl of oatmeal, but let’s be real here: not many of us have that kind of time in the morning. Overnight oats, on the other hand, only require you to mix the oats with water and let them hang out together in the fridge overnight....
A hefty pork shoulder is slathered with a rub of fennel seeds, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and garlic and set to marinate for a day or two in the fridge. It is then nestled in a bed of sliced apples and onions, first browned on high heat in the oven, and then covered and allowed to cook low and slow, until it is almost falling apart. You don’t need a knife to eat this slow-roasted pork shoulder....
Mix cooked farro with some vegetables, as we’ve done here, and you have an easy side dish for dinner or even a light lunch for the week! Just add some chicken or a poached egg for a complete meal. This wheat grain has been a staple since Roman times, and it’s just fun to take something ancient and prepare it for the modern table. When you’re shopping for farro, look for “pearled” or “semi-pearled” on the label, which means the hull has been removed....
When it comes to soup, I like it hearty and loaded with vegetables and this Freekeh Vegetable Soup from the cookbook Sababa: Fresh, Sunny Flavors from My Israeli Kitchen by Adeena Sussman checks all the important boxes for me. “It’s not all palm trees and hot beaches; Tel Aviv has a winter, too, bringing hard rain and strong winds that practically make you beg for a bowl of soup,” Adeena writes in Sababa....
There’s very little in the way of actual cooking that needs to happen, which makes the prep a lot simpler, too. How To Choose a Holiday Ham You have a lot of different choices at the store for buying ham: Whole ham vs. half hamShank vs. buttUnsliced vs. spiral cutBone-in vs. bonelessFully-cooked vs. partially cooked or uncooked For this recipe, and for most holiday occasions, we prefer an un-sliced bone-in half ham, preferably from the shank end....
The lamb roast was succulent—crusty, flavorful char on the outside, pink and tender on the inside. Note that the more fat on the lamb roast, the more likely you’ll have flare-ups when you grill. Flare-ups are okay as long as they are controlled and don’t get out of hand. What Is a Butterfield Leg of Lamb? To make it easier to turn on the grill, I recommend inserting a few metal skewers through the lamb, crosswise and parallel to the surface of the lamb....
Every celebratory occasion in the family, butter chicken made an appearance on the dinner table. I would grunt and nag mom for preferring him more than me—but all of us knew that was all a façade because I would always end up wiping the plate clean. What Is Butter Chicken? Butter chicken is prepared with marinated chicken that’s first grilled and then served in a rich gravy (a.k.a. curry) made with tomato, butter, and a special spice blend as a base....
Video: How to Make Instant Pot Ground Beef Chili Making Instant Pot Chili Using an Instant Pot to make chili isn’t any harder than cooking a pot of chili on the stove. You can sauté and simmer right in the appliance, just you would when cooking on the stovetop. The only difference here is that instead of turning a knob on the stove, you press a few buttons on the Instant Pot....
This recipe is anything but simple. My father, the same dad who has never met a dessert recipe he didn’t want to try, discovered it recently in the New York Times. When we recalled that my brother Eddie’s birthday was coming up, any resistance there may have been to attempting this dessert was dashed. Never mind that on the day of, Ed couldn’t make it for dinner. The die was cast, Le Talleyrand was to be made, birthday boy or no birthday boy....
