Instant Pot Red Beans and Rice
Thanks to the pressure cooker, everyone’s favorite New Orleans dish can be made in no time!
Homemade Twinkies
Club soda is the surprising trick to Homemade Twinkies as cotton-soft as real Twinkies from the store. It releases a steady stream of bubbles that provide the baking powder with plenty of air cells to expand. Nailing the flavor depends on cake flour, made from mild, soft white wheat, and plenty of egg yolks. Generally […]
Pressure Cooker Coconut Curry Chicken
The highly spiced coconut sauce here is so good, you’ll want to slather it on anything! And it’s a great and adaptable medium for cooking other proteins—not just chicken. Try cubes of lamb, fish fillets, or chunks of pork. Or, if you prefer boneless chicken breasts to thighs, use them here, pressure-cooking them for 2 […]
Triple Chocolate Beef & Been Chili
Cocoa powder and semisweet chocolate lend darkness and depth to this hearty chili, rounded out with the complex bitterness of chocolate stout beer.
Chicken Stew with Cannellini Beans and Dried Cherries
Frying the chicken skin adds a lot of flavor to the soup, and once it gets crisp, it delivers lots of texture (chicken skin potato chip, if you will). Not into the skin? Fry it for the flavor, then discard. Also, you know the rule about fish sauce, right? Don’t smell it, just use it. […]
Melissa Clark’s Instant Pot Hummus (with Variations)
The recipe yields a silky, smooth hummus, and once you nail the method, the variations you can do are endless. I love to take it in different directions, and the version you see photographed here is fortified with a couple of generous handfuls of spinach. I’m also including notes related to a few other favorite […]
Caesar Salad Roast Chicken
The only thing better than a roast chicken and a Caesar salad is a Caesar salad served with a chicken smothered in Caesar dressing and roasted until the garlic, anchovies, and mustard become deeply caramelized and flavorful.
Caramelized Shallot Pasta
This pasta is all about the shallots, cooked down in a bath of olive oil to a jammy, caramelized paste. Tomato paste is there for tanginess, and anchovies for saltiness, but they serve more as background flavors to the sweetness of the shallot. This recipe makes enough caramelized shallot mixture for a double batch of […]
Grilled or Pan-Cooked Albacore With Soy/Mirin Marinade
You won’t break the bank buying fresh fish, but there can be a better selection of moderately priced varieties in the freezer department. Among my findings were albacore steaks, one of the few types of tuna that we can still enjoy with a clear conscience, and a great fish if you’re trying to eat more […]
Dan Dan Noodles
These spicy Asian noodles will put a pep in your step. A recipe with as many variations as an Irish stew, dan dan noodles are a classic element of Chinese Sichuan cuisine. The core of the recipe consists of noodles, a spicy peanut sauce, and minced pork. You can find udon noodles vacuum packed in […]
Cheddar Beer Bread Rolls
These cheesy rolls pack a lot of flavor considering their short ingredient list. Thanks to the beer, they’re also especially light and fluffy, taking any meal to the next level. But they’re also perfect all on their own, slathered with butter.
Goan Coconut Milk Pilaf
Goa is situated on the western coast of India and has a warm climate perfect for growing coconuts. It’s no surprise, then, that Goan cuisine uses coconuts generously in dishes. The Goan spice combinations, influenced by Portuguese inhabitants, are also quite different from other parts of India, and that is what marks Goan cuisine.
Moist Banana Nut Bread
Using oil in this recipe helps make a delicious, very moist banana loaf. Whipped cream adds moisture, a wonderful flavor, and an incredibly soft texture.
Old-Fashioned Butterscotch Pudding
The Best Butterscotch Pudding Is Homemade. This unfussy, old-fashioned recipe is easy to stir together on top of the stove, and hard to mess up. The flavor of butterscotch pudding comes from dark brown sugar that’s been caramelized in butter and rounded out with vanilla. I also like to spike the mixture with a little […]
Potato & Coriander Soup
The humble potato shines through in this dish, with a little help from green chillies and fresh coriander. They give the soup not only beautiful colour, but also a lovely dose of tangy heat.
Easy Sweet Italian Sausage Patties
For an easy, all-purpose Italian sausage that’s perfect in pasta sauce or on top of a pizza and that’s full of pungency, spice, and personality, we started with coarsely ground pork. Using a stand mixer to combine the pork and seasonings (salt; toasted, crushed fennel seeds; sugar; black and red peppers; and garlic) helped extract […]
