There's a lot of garlic in this recipe, and rightly so for a recipe inspired by gambas al ajilo (garlic shrimp), one of my favorite Spanish tapas. It's bold in flavor but simple in preparation, making it a go-to for a great camp feast (especially because you'll have wine left over for the meal). The…
While some might argue that chili isn't chili without meat (or with beans, for that matter), this three-bean stew is far from lacking in flavor. Five types of peppers, ranging from sweet to smoky to spicy, give a complexity in flavor that you just can't get from chili powder along. I don't specify a particular…
Hot. Sweet. Tart. Crunchy. This vibrant Thai-inspired salad has a lot of things going for it in the flavor and texture departments. Fresh raw vegetables keep it light and crisp, while tender quinoa makes it substantial enough to be a meal on its own. A generous handful of fresh herbs packs a taste bud-tingling punch…
Great summertime side.
Here, these easy Parmesan crisps form small cups for a creamy goat cheese mousse. It's best to bake only half the crisps at a time, because they may harden while you're working with them.
This is a merger of two crouton recipes. Bother were similar in their preparation but one had better texture and the other better flavors. So I decided to bring together the best of each recipe to create one amazing version. The key to great croutons is to cook them very, very slowly. When toasted over…
If you want a great Caesar salad, you'd better make it yourself at home or be sure you are ordering it from a first-rate restaurant. the classic version has been all but eclipsed by shortcuts and poor techniques, not to mention dubious updates like grilled romaine and additions like lackluster grilled chicken or shrimp….

The vinaigrette for the salad features the flavors of a classic Cuban mojo, a sauce made with olive oil, garlic, orange or lime juice, and cumin.
