Ingredients

Brodetto Italian fisherman stew

A properly authentic brodetto (Italian fish stew) from Ancone, in Le Marche, contains an unfeasible 13 types of fish and shellfish to symbolise Jesus and his disciples. Typically it was a mix of whatever the fishermen couldn’t sell. This makes a true brodetto a rather expensive affair today. We’ve kept it simpler with white fish, mussels and langoustines, but you can go all out and add as many (or as few) fish and shellfish as you like – the flavoursome tomato, fennel and saffron broth is the real star of the show.

Slow Cooker Chicken Meatballs

We love these crock pot chicken meatballs. We cook them in our simple slow cooker marinara sauce, which you will make first, then drop the meatballs into later an hour before you plan to serve them. Serve these meatballs with pasta, spiralized noodles, vegetables, bread, or as an appetizer.

Air fryer yorkshire puddings

It might make a Yorkshire native faint in horror, but you can make cracking yorkshire puddings in an air fryer – freeing up priceless oven space when making a roast dinner. The compact, ferociously hot environment is ideal for getting that initial rise as they cook; just make sure your oil or fat is as hot as you can get it before you add the batter. See more of our top air fryer yorkshire pudding tips below.

Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken Thighs

These slow cooker chicken thighs are so easy and delicious. The chicken comes out incredibly tender and flavorful. We call for 8 thighs, but feel free to fit as many pieces (thighs or breasts) as you can in a single layer in your slow cooker (they’ll shrink while cooking). I always brown my chicken first for extra flavor and beautiful color, then use the same skillet to make our quick lemon gravy.

Ingredients

Mussel and sea lettuce linguine

Strands of sea lettuce twirled through linguine bring a mineral contrast to sweet mussels and tomatoes, showing how seaweed can level up a simple meal.

Techniques

Tender Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken

Gently cooking chicken in a flavorful cooking broth helps it become tender and juicy. We go the extra step to make sure the chicken is as juicy and flavorful as possible. Once the chicken is cooked, we transfer the cooking liquid from the slow cooker to a small saucepan and simmer the liquid down by one-third. Spoon some of the concentrated broth over the chicken and save the rest for a light soup later.

Meals & Dishes

Soba noodle and edamame salad

Our vegetarian soba noodle and edamame salad is a great take-to-work option. It would work well with crispy fried tofu too, if you want to add some extra protein.

Techniques

Easy Shredded Chicken

This is our favorite method for making shredded chicken. Gently simmering boneless chicken thighs in a flavorful cooking broth helps them become tender and stay super juicy and moist. We go the extra step to ensure the chicken is as juicy and delicious as possible. Once the chicken is cooked, we simmer the cooking liquid by one-third and then spoon the concentrated broth over it before using the chicken in other dishes or serving. You can also enjoy the leftover liquid as a light broth!

Techniques

Easy Chicken Enchiladas

These red chicken enchiladas are easy to make with a simple filling of shredded chicken, cheese, and our favorite homemade enchilada sauce. We roll the chicken filling up in tortillas–corn tortillas are the most authentic, but if you prefer flour tortillas, use them! We link to two enchilada sauce recipes in the recipe. We love the quick and easy sauce when we are short on time and use the more authentic sauce when we have dried whole chilies available.
