Mexican Mole Chicken Enchiladas
Mexican food has always been in my comfort zone. I can whip up a batch of margaritas, guacamole, and pico de gallo in my sleep. We have tacos once a week, and nachos are 100% adequate for lunch. There's one dish I always order out at restaurants and never make at home... Mole Enchiladas.
Korean Barbecue Roasted Cashews
The sweet, smooth cashews effortlessly take on the salty, spicy and sweet Korean Barbecue Rub. The nuts make a great addition to rice bowls (talk about texture!) and are a perfect midday snack. The roasted cashews store for up to a week in a sealed container.
Buckwheat, Carrot, Parsnip and Leek Salad with Tahini Poppy Dressing
It’s always a running joke in my family that if I am at the dinner table the amount of veggies need to be doubled. Needless to say I was super excited when my sister and SKORDO co-founder Annie showed me that Sister Pie had a whole section on salads! This Buckwheat, carrot, parsnip and leek salad was no disappointment!
Rosemary Deviled Eggs
I love deviled eggs. I order them whenever I see them on a restaurant menu. Invite me to a potluck and I'm probably bringing deviled eggs. I recently came across this recipe in Eating Well Magazine and when I saw it was written by Lior Lev Sercarz (Author of Mastering Spice and Spice Companion), I knew it'd be a good one. Not only were they good, these are easily the best deviled eggs I've ever had. Just try them - you won't regret it!
Weeknight Paella
New year, New blends! Introducing your newest goal of 2021, trying out SKORDO's Paella Blend. This melody of paprikas, saffron, lemon zest, and more, allows even the most beginner cooks to enjoy a dish as intimidating as Paella, an iconic saffron rice dish loaded with meats, seafood, and vegetables. Plus, it's salt free, giving you all the control!
Karonis Family Greek Chicken (Chicken Kapama)
This flavorful chicken braise combines cinnamon with a hearty tomato sauce to create a comforting and aromatic Greek dish. Use some of the sauce to flavor some orzo and you’ve got a tasty side that nicely complements the chicken. And as a bonus, your kitchen will smell amazing!
Roasted Potatoes
We learned how to do these potatoes when we lived in the UK. The outside gets beautifully browned and crispy, while the inside stays fluffy.
Floral Infused Vodka with Runamok Bitters
'Tis the season for colorful drinks! I'm a big fan of infused alcohol all year round, but in the winter I find myself reaching for cinnamon sticks, star anise and allspice over and over again. This drink features those plus another of my pantry staples: hibiscus.
Sauce Party! Curried Mustard Sauce, Cranberry Sauce, and Dill Mayo
Let’s talk leftovers. With Thanksgiving behind us, chances are there’s some turkey in the fridge and plenty of sandwiches being made. Personally, I think turkey tastes best slathered in all sorts of flavorful spreads. Gravy on the big day, cranberry sauce for breakfast and maybe a curried mustard for snack time dipping. Really, the meat is just a vehicle for flavor packed sauces, spreads and dips.
Tom Yum Noodle Soup
When trying out new recipes or cuisines at home, I usually stay away from my favorite takeout items as the comparison to the delicious restaurant options we have in Portland are just too easy to make! But then came along the beautiful Southeast Asian cookbook, Lemongrass and Lime. The recipe is simple and intimidating all at the same time, but MY GOODNESS the end result is spectacular!
Butter Chicken
Butter Chicken is one of my favorite take out meals. There was a great Indian restaurant on our old block and take out was my go to Saturday dinner. Then we moved and I've really been missing my weekend treat. Enter Mumbai to Maine's phenomenal butter chicken recipe. I stumbled upon this one while reading the Mumbai to Maine blog and decided to give it a try. Wow! It's so simple to make, so satisfying and has converted my husband into a curry fan. I loved it so much I sent Cherie Scott, the author of Mumbai to Maine and all around foodie genius, a note asking if we could share the recipe. So here it is (with a few home cook modifications) for all your comfort food needs!
