Buttery Cayenne Pecans
The low oven temp and long bake time allow these nuts to take on rich flavor without burning.
"Burnt" Carrots and Parsnips
Got some burned bits? Great job! The natural sugars in the root vegetables, along with the brown sugar, will caramelize, giving you a little bitterness to counter all that sweetness.
Hardy Greens With Lemon-Garlic Vinaigrette
Be on the lookout for collards with smaller, tender leaves. If using more mature bunches, cut into thin ribbons instead of tearing.
Chicory-Apple Salad with Brown Butter Dressing
Even if you're not a huge fan of bitter greens, don't substitute regular lettuce here; the slightly sweet dressing will taste cloying without some sharp contrast.
Chicken-Leg Confit With Potatoes and Escarole
Make this elegant meal for two your next date-night-in.
Shredded Cabbage Salad With Pomegranate and Tomatoes
You can stuff this slawlike salad inside your pita, or eat it on its own.
Roast Chickens and Sausages for a Crowd
One of the centerpieces of Butch Anthony's outdoor dining room is a massive firepit-grill outfitted with vintage Dutch ovens, which were buried in embers to cook these chickens. We've adapted the method for a regular oven.
Chamomile Panna Cotta With Quince
If quinces are unavailable or you want a shortcut, purchase quince paste at a specialty shop and heat it slowly to create a syrup, then simply spoon it over the custards.
Jerusalem Artichoke and Potato Chips with Mustard Salt
Steak and chips is an Australian institution, and my take on this classic involves perfectly crisp Jerusalem artichokes sprinkled with a punchy mustard salt. They're the perfect partner for the robust T-bone.
Plum Freezer Jam With Cardamom and Ginger
Neither long simmering nor heat-canned, this vibrant, lightly spiced jam couldn't be simpler to prepare. Red-fleshed plums lend a gorgeous garnet color, but any variety works well.
22-Minute Pad Thai
Tamarind juice concentrate helps gives this riff on the popular Thai stir-fry its tangy flavor.
Caramel Corn Clusters
Fall harvest snack? Check. Homemade Halloween treat? Check. Movie-night nibble? Check. We’ll be batching these nutty, crunchy clusters for the weekend (and to get us through next week, too).
Sweetie Pie's Tender Oven-Baked St. Louis-Style BBQ Ribs
Folks in St. Louis pride themselves on their ribs. You could say it's the city's signature dish. Growing up in the projects like we did, we didn't have a barbecue pit or a smoker, so when we wanted ribs, my mom came up with this way of doing them in the oven. Another way she'd make her ribs was to cut the rack into small slabs of two or three ribs, marinate and season them, and then fry them up—just like you'd do a pork chop. Serve with potato salad or mac and cheese.
T-Bone Steak with Thyme and Garlic Butter
Is there anything better than a beautifully cooked steak? I love the simple flavors in this recipe—just great-quality meat paired with a garlicky herb butter. Perfect!
Ancho Tortilla Soup
Ancho chilies are dried Poblano chilies, and have an earthy, sweet flavor and mild heat level. This classic tortilla soup is a creative way to use leftover turkey—substitute 1 1/2 cups finely chopped cooked turkey for the chicken.
Green Beans Amandine
An exciting twist on green beans, this dish features an easy sauce made with vanilla, white wine and butter.
Roasted Balsamic Beets
Beets are typically prepared with sweet and sour flavors. In this recipe, roasting brings out the sweetness and a balsamic glaze adds the piquant notes.
