Meal Prep
Anaheim Chile Salsa Verde
This recipe originally accompanied Grill-Roasted Brined Turkey with Anaheim Chile Salsa Verde . This beautiful, mild-flavored green salsa may be served heated or at room temperature. For the brightest green color possible, add the cilantro just before serving.
Creamy Caramel Sauce
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. To accompany Ice-Cream Bombes with Brandied Dried Cranberries and Cherries .
Roasted Bell Peppers with Basil and Balsamic Vinegar
This simple starter is delicious served with crusty Italian bread.
Swedish Pickled Beets
A Scandinavian table is seldom without them.
Carolina Red Barbecue Sauce
This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
Unlike sauces from Texas and Kansas City, this sauce from South Carolina's Piedmont area is thin and vinegary. Note that it is not cooked. To tone down the tartness, add more ketchup and brown sugar to taste.
To Roast Fresh Chestnuts
Active time: 1 1/2 hr Start to finish: 2 hr
Sweet Pickled-Cranberry Compote
A unique combination of ingredients gives this compote a sweet and tangy pickled taste. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, place the toasted coriander seeds in a plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
Roasted Garlic Oil and Roasted Garlic
Few foods metamorphose as dramatically or alluringly as garlic when it is roasted. Hardly a savory recipe exists in which one could not imagine this substance. I always have these garlic preparations on hand.
This recipe is a component of Fish in Foil with Sweet Onions, Tomatoes, and Mojo Verde and Grill-Roasted Rack of Lamb in Red Mole .
Red Wine Barbecue Sauce
This sauce is basted on the meat as it grills. It would also be great served alongside; the recipe doubles easily.
Roast Beef for "Beef on Weck"
If you aren't a restaurant chef or caterer, you probably don’t want to cook a 40-pound round roast, which is what most Buffalo chefs use. But a nice eye of round, 4 to 6 pounds, works fine.
Tuna Sates with Wasabi Mayonnaise
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time.
Tuna and Potato Kebabs with Basque Tomato Sauce
Tuna, which is hearty enough to stand up to strong Spanish flavors, is particularly popular on the Iberian Peninsula. Dusted with paprika and served atop a sauce of tomatoes with bell peppers and ham, the kebabs make outstanding summertime eating. Pour a Spanish Rioja throughout, and present a caramel flan with berries to finish.
To Roast and Peel Bell Peppers or Poblano Chiles
This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
