    August 9, 2020Rob

    Ken states, “This is a smooth tomato sauce flavored with dried oregano, along with optional garlic and chile flakes. Use the best-quality dried oregano you can get; if you can find Calabrian oregano, all the better. Although including chile flakes isn’t traditional for Neapolitan pizza, I like the zip. If you can’t find San Marzano tomatoes, use the best-quality canned plum tomatoes available.” Makes enough sauce for five 12-inch round pizzas.

    NY Times recipe from Ali Slagle who states, “Not only is rice with beans adored the world over (see: gallo pinto, khichdi, hoppin’ John and Caribbean rice and peas), it even has its own Wikipedia page. This deeply flavored rendition is inspired by these comforting traditions and a desire to wash as few dishes as possible: The rice cooks with the beans and the starchy liquid they’re canned in. As the two ingredients cook together, the beans disperse and glom onto the rice. For an extra kick, sauté chopped jalapeño with the onions, or add 1/4 cup salsa with the…

  • Roast Chicken With Maple Butter and Rosemary

    October 28, 2019Rob

    NY Times recipe from Colu Henry who states, “This simple roast chicken combines the classic fall flavors of maple and rosemary with melted butter, which is basted over the bird as it cooks to keep it juicy. The butter browns slightly and helps caramelize the outside thanks to the sugars in the maple syrup. The result is a fragrant, sweet-and-salty chicken that makes the house smell great. There will be plenty of buttery pan juices left over, which you should most certainly pass around the table, but they would also be delicious spooned over rice pilaf.”

    Bon Appetit recipe from Lauren Schaefer who states, “Call us crazy, but we think these three-ingredient charred ribs are just as delicious (if not more so!) than the low-and-slow, fall-off-the-bone-tender kind. They develop a crispy crust as they cook for just 15 minutes on each side, and despite the ridiculously short ingredient list, they’re still plenty flavorful and juicy due to the high fat content in the ribs.”

    April 29, 2019Rob

    Recipe by Molly Baz from Bon Appetit who states, “Chicken thighs are our desert-island weeknight protein. Their dark meat translates to reliable juiciness, and their delectable skin gets as crispy as cracklin’s. This one-skillet method is capped off with a punchy and bittersweet lemon vinaigrette built on the brown bits left in the skillet. And that’s what you’re going to want to drag each bite of chicken through. And to think it’s only Tuesday.”

  • Basil Pesto

    November 9, 2018Rob

    NY Times recipe from Samin Nosrat who states, “Though pesto means ‘pounded’ in Italian, the rush of modern life has taken the recipe out of the mortar and into the blender (or food processor) for most of us. This version, adapted from a Ligurian woman, Lidia Caveri, gently encourages (but does not require) a return to the mortar. The constant rap of the pestle will jostle the nuts, basil and garlic into an emulsified base. Add the oil and cheese to get an impossibly thick, creamy sauce that clings to pasta unlike any machine-made counterpart could. Though you might think…

    NY Times recipe from Ali Slagle who states, “For those of you who love lasagna’s edges, where sticky tomato meets crisp cheese, this whole dish is for you — even the middle. A tube of tomato paste here mimics the deep flavors of sun-dried tomato. Frying a few generous squeezes caramelizes the tomato’s sugars and saturates the olive oil, making a mixture that’s ready to glom onto anything you stir through it. Here, it’s white beans, though you could add in kale, noodles, even roasted vegetables. Then, all that’s left to do is dot it with cheese and bake until…

There are no newfangled ingredients here – no lemongrass or curry or pesto – just eggs, mustard, mayonnaise, a dash of Tabasco and a festive sprinkle of paprika (if you’re feeling fancy, garnish with chives). They are basic, but spectacular, and always a welcome addition to the picnic table.”

    May 8, 2017Rob

    NY Times recipe from Julia Moskin who writes, “This isn’t steakhouse steak; it’s your-house steak, ideal for home cooks who want fast weeknight meals. The rules are simple: buy boneless cuts (they cook evenly), thinner steaks (they cook through on top of the stove), dry them well (to maximize crust), then salt and sear them in an insanely hot, preferably cast-iron pan. The recipe here is a radical departure from the conventional wisdom on steak, which commands you to salt the meat beforehand, put it on the heat and then leave it alone. Instead, you should salt the pan (not…

But there is an effective and easy method for getting it right, using two ovenproof skillets. A split chicken is placed in one of them, skin side down. The other skillet goes on top as a weight, which helps retain moisture and insures thorough browning. A couple of clean rocks or bricks can be used instead of the second skillet. (If the weight of choice doesn’t seem terribly…

Known as cloud bread, this carb and gluten-free bread is soft, airy and fluffy, and so delicious – it practically melts in your mouth. It is an ideal replacement for traditional homemade bread, and it is also high in protein. So how do you make it? All you need is three ingredients: eggs, cream cheese and cream of tartar.
