Ingredients

Goat Shoulder Braised with Prunes and Preserved Lemons

Goat is a delicious, mild-flavored meat that is overlooked in the U.S. This recipe results in a tender, savory dish that, while unusual, is still basically good old comfort food. This would be great to serve with Israeli-style couscous; alternatively, you could add some potato chunks to the pan halfway through the cooking.

Quick Easy Chocolate Croissants

For these easier chocolate croissants, we use a store-bought puff pastry sheet instead of making our croissant dough at home. Puff pastry needs to be thawed before being used in our recipe. I take my sheet out of the freezer, place it onto a plate, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours. You can also thaw at room temperature for 40 to 50 minutes.

Ingredients

Goat and Butternut Squash Stew

This is a tasty, spicy dish for a cold fall or winter evening and can be a good way to introduce goat to people who think they don't like goat. If you're not a fan of a long saute process, it can also be prepared in a slow cooker. Serve over rice.

Muffuletta sandwich

Muffuletta is a classic New Orleans meat, cheese and pickle sandwich. It was created in 1906 at Central Grocery Co on Decatur Street by an Italian immigrant called Salvatore Lupo. It’s a mainstay on the menu at Cochon Butcher and can be served toasted or cold.

Easy Avocado Egg Salad

Avocado egg salad takes classic egg salad up a notch. Serve this on salad, in wraps, or make avocado egg salad sandwiches! If you do not like mayonnaise, leave it out or substitute it with plain yogurt.

Techniques

Turkey schnitzel with cranberry ketchup

Weeknight dinners can be festive too! Dish up golden turkey schnitzels with old-school Russian salad and a tangy cranberry ketchup for an easy midweek dinner with a festive spin. Turkey is an ideal meat for breadcrumbing as it’s so lean, and benefits from the steam pocket created by the breaded coating which keeps the meat appealingly moist.

Ingredients

Arugula Couscous Salad with Feta

My arugula salad with couscous, easy lemon vinaigrette, cucumbers, and feta cheese is one of my favorite arugula recipes. It’s unbelievably simple and tastes incredible. Once you try it, you’ll find yourself making it again and again!

Easy Soft Flour Tortillas

How to make flour tortillas that are soft, pliable, and perfect for folding or wrapping. Our recipe for the best homemade tortillas uses a few tricks. Dissolving the salt in the warm water helps season the dough. I especially recommend doing this if you are using coarser salt. Rolling the tortillas very thin and dialing in the heat of your pan guarantees bubbles, which create that perfect texture (our video shows just how large these bubbles can be).

Techniques

Mushroom, mustard and tarragon bakes

Mushrooms and pastry are one of those culinary double acts which never let you down, especially if you use puff pastry as we’ve done here. The mushrooms are bolstered with tarragon and mustard to cut through the rich sauce, resulting in a bake that’s better than anything you can get at a certain high street bakery chain.

Ingredients

Meals & Dishes

Perfect Homemade Applesauce

This easy applesauce recipe makes the kitchen smell incredible and tastes much better than anything you can buy at the store. Use apples that you enjoy eating. We particularly love using crisp, sweet apples when making applesauce and generally do not add any sweetener. If you feel the applesauce needs some extra sweetness, add a sweetener to taste at the end of cooking. We recommend brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey.

Meals & Dishes

Brown Sugar Roasted Strawberries

Roasted strawberries are shockingly good. As they roast, the flavor of the berries cooks down and concentrates. Use this recipe with ripe strawberries for incredible flavor, or use it to enhance less desirable strawberries! These make a fantastic dessert with some whipped cream, but I also love them in the morning added to my everyday oatmeal or Greek yogurt.

Meals & Dishes

Easy Fluffy Biscuits

These are the most tender and fluffy biscuits from scratch we’ve ever made. These baking powder biscuits are big, tall, tender, and delicious. My preferred method is to get out my food processor. It’s an excellent tool for cutting the cold butter into our flour mixture since it’s quick. If you don’t feel like getting your food processor out, you can use your hands or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour (tips are provided in the notes section).

Techniques

4-ingredient air fryer mac n cheese

Air fryer mac ‘n’ cheese using just four ingredients and ready in 30 minutes? It’s possible! Once you master this comforting evaporated milk cheese sauce, you’ll want to use it on everything – it’s just so easy. Cheesy chips, nachos, burgers, you name it.

Meals & Dishes

Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal

Our strawberry baked oatmeal with fresh strawberries, bananas, and chocolate is such a crowd-pleaser! You can make this in the morning, or if you’re short on time, prepare it the night before and bake it in the morning. For substitutions, check the key ingredients section of the article or scan through the comments to see what others have done (so many great ideas)!
