Basque Chicken

Basque Chicken by John Spottiswood

I had one of the best meals of my life, while on a wine-tasting trip with my father in Paso Robles, California, at a small restaurant called the 10th St. Basque Cafe. They only offer one seating meal to everyone in the restaurant. But it's a many course affair with some absolutely amazing food. Upon recommendation from another…

Creole Spiced Pork Chops

Creole Spiced Pork Chops by Amos Miller

Pork chops with chops! These nicely spiced cuts can be toned up or down, depending on your taste. Gluten-free diners will enjoy these with King Arthur, Domata or Hodgson Mill flour. All Purpose works just fine. Thanks to Chef Austin for the inspiration!

Braised Beef Short Ribs

Braised Beef Short Ribs by John Spottiswood

We have a couple of recipes for short ribs, and this is probably the most traditional. It has a rich beef flavor and the meat falls off the bones. If the choice is available, we normally use English style short ribs instead of Korean short ribs (also called flanken-style) because the English shortribs are usually cheaper and it…

Chiapas Pot Roasted Pork - Cochito Chiapaneco

Chiapas Pot Roasted Pork - Cochito Chiapaneco by John Spottiswood

I adapted this delicious, crispy-edged meat recipe from Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen. Nancy and I used to eat at his restaurant, the Frontera Grill, when we lived in Chicago. I served this over black beans and rice along with my spicy Ropa Vieja recipe and it was a huge hit. This would be a great alternative to carnitas for a…

Elegant Shrimp Scampi Pasta Lightened Up

Elegant Shrimp Scampi Pasta Lightened Up by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

For a romantic dinner, try this superb shrimp, sauteed in a buttery, garlic and lemon wine sauce. It doesn’t get easier to prepare yet it taste so indulgent. Instead of having to prep the raw shrimp, by deveining and such, I like to use cooked shrimp. It’s so much easier and cooks in minutes! The skinny for each generous serving is…

Chicken Cacciatore

Chicken Cacciatore by Salad Foodie

Cacciatore in cuisine refers to a meal prepared “hunter style” with meat, tomatoes, onions, herbs, wine (and depending on region and availability other vegetables.) Time-saving conveniences like boneless skinless chicken breasts and thighs, presliced mushrooms and onions simplify preparation. While the chicken braises in the tomato…

Traditional Beef Stew

Traditional Beef Stew by Chef Chuck

Traditional Beef Stew has been around for many years. Less desirable pieces of meat like the butt, pieces from the leg, and shoulder are most commonly used when making stews. These fibrous cuts of meat require longer cooking times with a variable amount of liquid- a cooking technique called braising. Braising uses moist and dry heat.…

Slow-Braised Atlanta Brisket

Slow-Braised Atlanta Brisket by Foodiewife

Brisket is a cut of beef that can be very tough, unless it is slow-braised or with a slow barbecue method. The patience pays off, because the meat becomes very tender and moist. I saw this recipe on Cook's Country, and was intrigued that the recipe name comes from using Coca Cola (from where the soft drink originates). Instead of…

Braised Fennel with White Wine

Braised Fennel with White Wine by La Tavola Marche (farm, inn & cooking school)

Fennel is a versatile vegetable that is often looked over for being too tough. Braising is a great way to soften this hearty root vegetable known to aid in digestion. The acidity & fruitiness of the wine compliments the aniseed flavored fennel and with a good drizzle of olive oil it finishes this dish perfectly. Serve with meat!

Chicken Chilindron

Chicken Chilindron by Pam Lynn

I was reading a biography of Fransisco de Goya Spain's most important Artist of the late 18th and Early 19th Century - in which the artist describes how his mother used to cook his favorite dish: Chicken Chilindron or Pollo al Chilindron (the Chilindron being the heavy pan used to cook it). This is an updated version of the authentic…

Lemon Chicken Breasts (Ina Garten)

Lemon Chicken Breasts (Ina Garten) by Foodiewife

This recipe comes from Ina Garten's most recent cookbook 'How Easy Is That?" She's right. This is a very simple, and flavorful way to service chicken. I used chicken breasts, bone-in, so I adapted the recipe a little bit by searing the chicken before baking them in a lemon-garlic-herb infused sauce. Using boneless chicken breasts…
