Tagine of Chicken with Preserved Lemon

Tagine of Chicken with Preserved Lemon by John Spottiswood

This dish may not sound as exciting to you as some of the other tagine's I've posted (which is why I didn't try it myself for a while), and preserved lemons may sound difficult to make (which they aren't), but this is an amazingly tasty and easy dish to make. Once you've tried it, I guarantee you will make it again and again. Over…

Roman-Style Spinach

Roman-Style Spinach by John Spottiswood

This is a great new way I've learned to cook spinach. I wouldn't have thought of adding sweetness to spinach, but I really like the way the currants and pine nuts contrast with the slight bitterness of fresh spinach. This is a new winner that I'll be cooking frequently in the future!

Asparagus in Miso-Butter Sauce

Asparagus in Miso-Butter Sauce by John Spottiswood

This dish is amazing. I could eat a pound of this with rice as my dinner...and practically did tonight. I've adapted it from a recipe in the New York Times cookbook, reducing and lightening the sauce to make it both healthier and tastier...in my opinion. I served it with a fish with curry sauce that Nancy made. We'll post that…

Shrimp in Green Garlic Sauce

Shrimp in Green Garlic Sauce by John Spottiswood

Wow, this is a really powerful and delicious dish. If you are looking for subtle flavors, search elsewhere. But if you're in the mood for a garlicky, "must dip my bread in every last bit of that sauce", type of dish, you cannot beat this. I'll admit our kids are not normal, but all four of them downed these shrimp and were dipping…

Barbecue Pork Ribs

Barbecue Pork Ribs by John Spottiswood

This is my father-in-law's famous ribs recipe. He's a well traveled dentist, and has served this to friends and colleagues from all over the country. Most will tell you honestly they are the best ribs they have ever had. This is what our kids ask for when they are at Grandpa's house near their birthday and they get to pick the…

Lamb Stew with Tomatoes and Spices

Lamb Stew with Tomatoes and Spices by John Spottiswood

This is a succulent dish. It's another amazing recipe I adapted from Stews, Bogs and Burgoos by James Villas. The original recipe is for braised lamb shanks. We were serving 8 at a cabin and wanted to be able to use a slow cooker, so we substituted leg of lamb instead. The result was delicious. The key is the flavor of the…

Yellow Split Peas with Vegetables (Dal Takari)

Yellow Split Peas with Vegetables (Dal Takari) by John Spottiswood

Wow, this is such a wonderful dish and so easy to cook! The keys to this dish are the yellow lentils, fried potatoes, and cumin seed. You can change out the other vegetables (spinach is a nice addition as it adds to the creaminess of the dish). Make sure you fry the cumin seed and potatoes over sufficiently high heat that the cumin…

Tangy Asian Grilled Salmon

Tangy Asian Grilled Salmon by John Spottiswood

This is another recipe adapted from the Barefoot Contessa. It's super simple and provides a tangy contrast to the sweetness of typical teriyaki sauce. Don't let the Dijon mustard in a supposedly Asian recipe throw you. It's a really nice combination of flavors. We doubled the garlic and reduced the olive oil slightly from the…
