Grilled Balsamic Glazed Steaks, Italian-Style

In Italy, grilled steak is epitomized by bistecca alla fiorentina. Try our twist on the classic recipe for an easy barbecue, featuring succulent steaks simply served with lemon, Italian-style. It all starts with a great steak. In the classic version of this Florentine dish, a very specific cut of meat known as bistecca nel filetto is traditionally used, but here in the United States, a good quality, thick bone-in steak is a reasonable substitute: a porterhouse, ribeye or t-bone is ideal. Once …

Hearty and satisfying braised lamb shanks make a perfect winter dinner for two, but if you’re in the mood for an intimate gathering of friends, it’s easy to scale up this recipe with hardly any extra effort.  Here’s the secret: it’s made in a slow cooker (sometimes known as a crock pot).

Pan-Fried Bread & Sausage with Garlic, Tapas Style

In Spain, appetizers are taken very seriously. Spanish tapas, the ubiquitous small plates found in every taverna and dining place, are numerous and varied.

Like most Spanish tapas recipes, Pan-Fried Bread & Sausage with Garlic uses just a handful of ingredients, each with a bold flavor that stands on its own, yet harmonizes perfectly with the others. This simple, …

Black & White Garlic Chicken

Inspired by the classic 40 Clove Chicken, this amazing slow-cooked casserole of falling-off-the-bone, garlic-scented chicken is worth the wait. Yes, we actually used 40 cloves of garlic in this dish – 20 cloves of regular, every day fresh garlic and 20 of the startlingly ebony-colored black garlic. In case you’re unfamiliar with the stuff, black garlic is not a new strain of garlic; it’s created by fermenting whole heads of normal garlic in a carefully controlled environment of heat and …

Grilled Lamb Chops with Fresh Mint

These grilled lamb rib chops are perfect for a quick, yet elegant meal. Prep them first thing in the morning (or even the night before), and you’ll have dinner on the table in 15 minutes or less. Lamb, considered a traditional spring dish, is generally harvested at 3 – 5 months of age, so that “spring” lamb was actually probably born in the fall. Americans tend to prefer milder-flavored meats, so it’s no surprise that lamb is much more popular than mutton, …

Truffled Baba Ghanouj

If you like eggplant, you’ll love this fire-roasted puree of the egg-shaped glossy purple fruit. (Yes, like its cousin, the tomato, the eggplant is technically a fruit, not a vegetable.) The name, whether you spell it “baba ganouj,” “baba ganouge,” or “baba ganoush,” is pronounced the same and though there are many variations, it’s all the same dish – a Mediterranean classic with a fantastic smoky-lemony flavor. Our version of the dish replaces some of the tahini, a paste of …

Black Garlic Tapenade: A New Classic

Black garlic. First things first – what is this mysterious stuff? Perhaps it’s easiest to begin by describing what black garlic is NOT. Black garlic is not a new strain of garlic; it’s not genetically modified, nor is it a recent invention by practitioners of modernist cuisine. Black garlic starts out as regular white garlic (some say that hardneck garlic varieties make the best black garlic), but ends up with a delicately sweet flavor, soft, jam-like texture and striking jet-black color. …

To fans of authentic Asian cuisine, the flavors & textures of this dish will feel as comfortable and familiar as an old friend. A steamed dish might not seem like summer food, but the preparation is quite easy and cooking time is only about 20 minutes. It won’t heat up the kitchen and can be enjoyed immediately while hot, or later, at room temperature. Our version of stuffed tofu, a venerable classic of many Asian cuisines, uses sausage made from ground …

Morel-Stuffed Burgers on Grilled Garlic Toast with Chipotle-Lime Mayonnaise

The days of boring burgers are over.  The best tasting burgers begin with really good beef or bison, then add layer upon layer of savory ingredients to build a symphony of bold, harmonious flavors. Leaner grass-fed beef and bison naturally contain less fat than regular ground beef. Less fat is better for you, but it can lead to a drier, less flavorful burger. Our solution? Stuff those burgers with a layer of moist, buttery morel mushrooms! Nothing beats fresh morels, of …
