Reinventing The Meal - Yahoo Recipe Search
Food NetworkThis is one of my favorite ways to reinvent rotisserie or leftover chicken. This weeknight favorite is excellent if you're a meal prepper, and the homemade tomatillo salsa is awesome even on its own served with tortilla chips.Food52This recipe is inspired by a cranberry quick bread which was one of my first introductions to baking while in college. One of my roommates baked it and introduced me to the routine of making recipes out of the Sunday NY Times Magazine, something that became a favorite activity in our off campus house. I am not sure her bread came from the Magazine, but regardless, she made me realize you could turn out good food in a kitchen the size of a telephone booth. For this reinvented iteration, I have used extra egg whites, creme fraiche and almond flour to lighten the batter into a cake, and I have topped it with a buttermilk glaze for a tangy but sweet topping. It's a one bowl situation, happily, and perfect for Thanksgiving either before, during, or after your meal. Truth be told, it's good any time.Food52We celebrated the rare feast of Thanksgivvikuh with my sister's family in Austin. It was an exercise of collaboration and creativity that produced some delicious surprises and new favorites. And so it was with great enthusiasm that I pondered my sister's request for some reinvented seder dishes for an article she was writing on the Passover feast. Among the dishes we discussed, I was drawn most to the charoset which, in my somewhat limited experience, has been wonderful or dreadful. The dreadful versions involved browning apples sitting in a liquid of sorts that more immediately reminds you of the actual mortar it represents than something truly edible. So I was compelled to try something more in the Sephardi style using figs. In a completely separate culinary brainstorm for Chinese New Year I was planning a pork belly with charred oranges and decided that a toasty, caramelized citrus would be a great pairing. Recently enamored with all things pickled, I chose to steep the figs in a vinegar solution while toasted walnuts and a vibrant parsley completed the dish. I think this updated version would be a great addition to the Passover meal alongside a crispy roasted chicken. Though it was also amazing with some incredible berkshire pork chops...unorthodox, but divine.
