Splayed Roast Chicken With Spring Vegetables
This recipe comes to us from Sarah Waldman's cookbook Feeding a Family. It's the perfect meal to celebrate the first warm evening in the spring or any other special occasion.
Philly Cheesesteak Burgers
While we all love a good, traditional burger, there’s certainly a time and place for this delicious twist on the classic.
Simple Roast Turkey in a Dutch Oven
Roasting an entire turkey on Thanksgiving can seem daunting, but with the right tools it's a job anyone can do. This recipe for roast turkey and gravy is simple enough for a beginner, but delicious enough to make into a family favorite. We make this turkey in a 7 Quart Dutch Oven without the lid. The high side walls of the Dutch oven will aid in browning, and the result is a crispy-skinned turkey that's still juicy on the inside.
Stripped-Down Steak
A good sear produces deeper flavors in grilled foods, but even more importantly, it looks super cool. We eat with our eyes, right? So here’s the Lodge method to getting perfect marks every time.
Grilled Lamb Chops With Garlic & Rosemary
With only four ingredients in the spice mixture, these grilled lamb rib chops are easy to make and still have a great burst of flavor, proving that sometimes less is more. Garlic and rosemary add just enough, allowing the lamb to shine through.
Creamy Garlic Herb Chicken
Chicken thighs are an easy weeknight win: tons of flavor and a cinch to prepare. This recipe calls for making a creamy garlic pan sauce to spoon over the chicken and topping it with lots of fresh herbs.
Soak & Smoke Chicken
Patience is a virtue, especially when making great BBQ. The seductive smell of wood smoke permeates meat over hours of slow, indirect heat, developing compound flavors and textures. Smoking is a great way to turn a relatively cheap cut into fancy fare that is well worth the wait.
Sauces For Grilling
Sauces keep your food moist, balance flavors, and add complexity and color to your plate. They can be sweet, spicy, tangy, or sour, and heck, they can be all those things at once. When we get creative with sauces, we like to use a melting pot and silicone brush, which are great for “stovetops” and grills. If you’re not sure where to start, we’ve got tips for making great sauces and how to use the melting pot to do it!
Lamb Chops With Mint and Mashed Cauliflower
Thick lamb loin chops prepared with mint, garlic, and balsamic vinegar served over a bed of cauliflower "mashed potatoes." Mint is a classic pairing with lamb, but this recipe also includes garlic, creating a fuller flavor. For those who find the use of mint jelly when cooking lamb overwhelming, the combination of fresh mint and garlic provides a welcome and light alternative. Serve this dish over cauliflower "mashed potatoes" for a light and tasty meal.
Pork Chops With Apples & Chestnut Sauce
In this dish, the rich, deep flavors of the chestnut puree and the bright, spicy notes of the red pepper complement the classic combination of apples and pork. The secret of success with these chops is the searing they get on a cast iron griddle.
Spiced Braised Pork Shoulder
Braising is a great way to slow cook tough cuts of meat. This moist-heat method allows the connective tissues in the meat to break down, resulting in a tender roast and thickened braising liquid. When you use your cast iron Dutch oven, you can sear and braise the meat in the same pot. Enjoy the finished product on everything from barbecue sandwiches to tacos.
Gluten-Free Fried Chicken Strips
The breading on these fried chicken strips is so good you'll forget it's gluten-free. Private chef June Pagan once created this recipe for actress Elizabeth Taylor as a member of Taylor’s daily staff.
