Italian Flag Roasted Chicken

Italian Flag Roasted Chicken by Smokinhotchef

This is another wonderful roasted chicken with a myriad of delectables stuffed under the skin and inside the bird itself. The name comes from the red sundried tomatoes, the white garlic and the choice selection of fresh green herbs blended with butter and distributed underneath the skin in delicious complex harmony. This is a quicker…

Super Smoky Southwestern Chili Beans by Smokinhotchef

Don't you just love a great chili with beans recipe? So do I! I have a go to recipe for chili that my family loves and this recipe is a variation. My usual chili recipe is provocative of warm and cozy days possibly containing rain, but not necessarily. This recipe invokes the light and refreshing fragrances of the days of Spring…

Herb and Spice Brine Leg of Lamb

Herb and Spice Brine Leg of Lamb by Smokinhotchef

This may be one of my best creations yet. There are an array of herbs and spices, most from my own garden, that help bring this leg of lamb up to that of a prized dish in any locale. The lamb is seasoned in a brine refrigerated for up to 36 hours, so it is essentially a make ahead dish. There is no need for further seasoning…

Frijoles Borrachos by Cindy McNamara

...or Drunken Beans. Why just simmer plain ol' pinto beans when you can add a few ingredients and have MUY Delish Drunken Beans?? I prefer a dark beer for this recipe but any you have on hand should be fine. I used some heirloom Good Mother Stallard beans from Rancho Gordo growers here in Cali. They are available online along with a…

Funny sounding name - but before you run off without trying this great chili recipe...what else could I call it with the addition of delicious, quartered artichokes that provide just the right bit of tangy flavor? Oh and something else you don't typically find in chili - potato! Trust me, this chili recipe is delish!

Mediterranean Steak Ragu

Mediterranean Steak Ragu by Smokinhotchef

Beef is joined with flavors of the Mediterranean and blissfully simmered into taste-bud matrimony. Garam Masala makes a simple yet outspoken appearance featuring spinach. The richness of olives and hearty tomatoes meld together for a dish that can stand alone or smother aromatic jasmine or basmati rice. Also, this dish can be…

ChilItaliano

ChilItaliano by Rich H

This "Italian chili" is a bitey, spicy bit of heaven. With just the right amount of spices, wine and "heat" this hearty dish is sure to please even the most discriminating chili afficianado. It is a vegan dish but by using some earthy mushrooms the chili takes on a meaty tone that is delicious in every way!
