Hearty Ham and Navy Bean Soup
This recipe is the perfect example of making something from almost nothing, but we wanted a heartier version with serious chunks of ham-something we could serve as a main course for dinner.The simplest ham and bean soup recipes are nothing more than dried beans and ham hocks simmered in water until the beans are tender […]

Chicken and Dumplings Stew For the Soul
A rich chicken stew that tastes just like a Sunday roast. Chicken thighs are simmered until falling off the bone and the cooking liquor is reduced until thick and gravy like, all before little clouds of chive & cheddar dumplings are plopped on top to steam and soak up the sauce. This is true […]

Chicken, Salsa Verde and Tortilla Casserole (Pastel Azteca)
Though Pastel azteca translates from the Spanish as “Aztec cake,” the dish often is referred to in English as Mexican lasagna, enchilada casserole or tortilla pie—and understandably so. It is comprised of corn tortillas layered with sauce, meat, cheeses, crema (a cultured cream similar to crème fraîche) and vegetables; a stint in the oven […]

Chicken Curry

Turkey Meatballs with Soy and Sesame
Our turkey meatballs rival those made from beef or pork, thanks to a few test kitchen tricks. We start with 93 or 85 percent lean turkey; the 99 percent lean type didn’t have enough fat to create a palatable meatball. Next, we add an egg and fresh bread crumbs (instead of a panade, which made […]
Swedish Meatballs With Rich Gravy
Swedish meatballs, stars of 1960s-era cocktail parties and IKEA shopping trips, are, on the surface, pretty simple: a mix of pork and beef that’s lightly spiced and served with a rich gravy.

One-Batch Fried Chicken
Inspired by the pressure-frying machine in which Colonel Sanders created his famous fried chicken, we set out to find a faster way to fry that would get all the chicken on the table at the same time. For fast frying, we cooked the chicken all in one batch and covered the pot for the first […]
Spanish Chorizo, Ham, and White Bean Stew
This is a quick-and-easy version of the Spanish tapa known as fabada asturiana, a hearty stew of dried beans, sausage, and other smoky, porky ingredients. We pared back on the meats, using only chorizo and ham, both of which lend deep flavor to the broth. The dish gets its name from the large beans that […]
Oven-Roasted Chicken Thighs
More flavorful and less prone to overcooking than lean breasts, chicken thighs are a perfect weeknight dinner. The only problem is that the layer of fat underneath the skin that helps keep them moist during cooking often leads to flabby skin. To combat this, we cooked the thighs, skin side down, on a preheated […]
Chili Enchiladas
Inspired by Sam Sifton’s popular Enchiladas Con Carne in the New York Times, these family-style enchiladas are seriously delicious. You begin by making a quick chili con carne, or chili sauce, with lean ground beef, onions, peppers, spices, tomato sauce, and broth. The sauce is then combined with shredded Mexican cheese and rolled into soft […]
