Let me show you how to cook boneless lamb shoulder in easy steps. Serve with delicious homemade gravy, potatoes and gremolata. Lamb shoulder You do not need to wait until Easter or Sunday to enjoy a good lamb roast, you can enjoy it at any night of the week going with this easy and delicious recipe. I made this in a cast iron pot (casserole dish) and the meat was amazingly tender and fell apart after slow roasting....

It’s such a simple recipe but it produces impressive results! I like to serve it as an appetizer when I host, but I also make it often for my family. This tasty mousse is such an easy appetizer, and one of those dishes that your guests will thoroughly admire, not realizing how easy it is to make. It’s also great that you can make it ahead of time. Smoked salmon is a delicacy, and when made into mousse it’s even better....

There’s also room for maneuvering; add more or less wine or cream to taste; leave out the pine nuts if you can’t be bothered; add some asparagus or cream cheese if you want; use smoked trout or sturgeon instead of the salmon. The essentials are smoked fish, lemon, garlic, and pasta with some olive oil, wine, and or cream binding them together. Once the pasta is done, and before draining the pasta, scoop out one cup of the pasta cooking liquid and reserve....

I took the extra step of cooking some broccoli along with the chicken to round out the meal. It cooks in a separate bag but at the same temperature. New to Sous Vide? Start Here I think sous vide is something that all home cooks can – and should! – learn to do because it takes a lot of the stress and guesswork out of cooking. You can prep your food in advance in the bags and then cook it when you have time....

There is one cooking technique that I’ve been turning to frequently in my kitchen this summer, and that’s sous vide! With this technique, I can sous vide steaks, burgers, or chicken so they’re perfectly cooked (literally, perfectly), and then finish them on the grill to sear the outside and give them some char-grilled flavor. Video: Sous Vide Korean BBQ Chicken What Is Sous Vide Cooking? For those of you who may be wondering, sous vide means “under vacuum” and it just means sealing your food, getting out as much air as possible, and then cooking it in a water bath at a very specific temperature....

This is a cookbook exclusive recipe! This recipe is exclusive to my debut cookbook Dinner which includes a how-to video for every recipe. Just scan the QR code! Just to explain…. I know, it’s confusing! You’re so used to getting recipes on my website – there’s over 1,200 of them, after all. And here you are looking at a tasty recipe video and I haven’t provided the recipe. 🙀 I’m not just doing this to torture you, I promise....

Oh, and then there is the bacon. If you’re part of the ‘everything goes better with bacon’ club, you won’t be able to resist this dish. Here are a few tricks that make poaching eggs stress-free. One, salt the water generously: the salt makes the eggs buoyant. About 10 seconds after you’ve dropped the eggs into the simmering water, drag a wooden spoon around the edge of the pot. It creates a gentle whirlpool and the eggs float freely instead of sticking to the bottom of the pot....

This is a dish that I’ve never had outside of my own home. My father claims that there are restaurants in Minnesota (where he grew up) that serve spareribs and sauerkraut. But I certainly have never seen them as a menu item here in California. Too bad, too! This is a perfect dish for a cold winter day. We serve them over boiled potatoes with ketchup. The sweet tang of the ketchup is a perfect complement to the savory spareribs and potatoes....

What Are Stuffed Cabbage Rolls? True to their name, stuffed cabbage rolls are little bundles of cabbage leaves that have been stuffed and cooked with a mixture of ground pork, onions, paprika, and other spices, and braised in tomato sauce. They are typically served with a sour cream-based sauce with plenty of sauerkraut. This is comfort food at its best. The interplay of sweet, sour, and savory flavors — tangy sour cream and sauerkraut with sweet tomatoes and savory onions and pork — make for a heavenly combo....

The only reason I EVER buy those part baked petit pains in the store is for these stuffed breads (oh and these stuffed breads). Filled with crispy bacon, wilted spinach and melted cheese they turn those pallid-looking, play-doh smelling rolls into the most amazing lunch! I made these last week when we had some guests, There were certainly lots of oohs and ahhs as the bacon sizzled, and also when the spinach was wilted down in that lovely bacon fat (I know I know - how to make a superfood into a superbad (but crazy-delicious) food)....

Leftovers keep well in the fridge for several days, so sometimes I double the recipe and make a few extra. I love portobellos. They are so tasty, and they are also substantial - almost meaty. I like their bold flavor and dense texture. I enjoy them simply grilled, but filling them with things is especially fun! This recipe is wonderful. The portobello mushrooms are stuffed with a delicious mixture of spinach, onions, garlic, and parmesan....

Classic Cheese-Stuffed Shells It’s a weeknight and the hordes are hangry. That’s where these shells come in, baked with enough cheese and tomato to rival a big, fat pizza. But these shells are so much more rewarding! Seriously, who can resist a beautiful dish of golden, cheese-topped pasta in red sauce? Start by making the sauce, and while the sauce simmers, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the shells....

Look no further. This is the tart. As my father says, “don’t change a thing.” It’s actually much easier to make than it looks! First the crust. It needs to be firm enough to hold the tart, but not so firm that it is tough and chewy. (Who wants a chewy crust? Yikes!) The perfect tart crust is similar to a butter pie crust, but with the addition of powdered sugar, and little vanilla, and an egg....

Use it now to make Thai Green Curry – or keep it for later! Thai Green Curry Paste recipe! Usually, the main reason to make curry paste yourself is because you just can’t get the same intense, fresh flavour in a jar. And while that holds true for green curry paste, the other very big advantage is that you can control the spiciness without compromising flavour or the signature green colour....

Another factor for their popularity is the different coating materials. Many who are leery of nonstick cookware turn to ceramic for that same property, but without PTFE, PFOA, and PFOS. It’s important to note that ceramic cookware does need a bit more care when it comes to maintenance. The surface can be easily scratched by strong metal utensils, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners. If cared for well, these pots and pans can last you for years....

However, the invention we know as the slow cooker didn’t come to be until the 1940s when an electrical engineer named Irving Naxon developed a cooker that would mimic the way his Lithuanian grandmother prepared a traditional Jewish cholent stew in a pot in the oven. From this sprung the Crock-Pot, a self-standing, still-crucial small kitchen appliance whose name is still synonymous, to this day, to the slow cooker. There are a plethora of slow cooker options to choose from nowadays, all with different features, which makes choosing the right one a little less straightforward....

And while there are food gift baskets for every type of occasion and recipient, there are a few general principles to keep in mind. To help guide you, I interviewed etiquette experts for their top tips for sending a gift basket, including when to send one, how much to spend, and what to write in your note. In the end, our top choice was the Harry & David Classic Favorites Gift Box for its variety and the high quality of its gourmet treats....

So I went to buy hazelnuts from the bulk section of my grocery store and I found what I could have sworn were hazelnuts, but were labeled filberts. I’d never heard of filberts so I went home empty handed, still swearing they looked exactly like hazelnuts. I looked it up and discovered that filberts were another name for hazelnuts. When I went back to the store I saw that the label included hazelnuts in small print and parenthesis....
