This is what they do in Memphis, Tennessee, and it’s why Memphis-style ribs are some of the best in the world. Ingredients in Memphis Rib Rub What goes into a Memphis rib rub is up to you, but most recipes rely on paprika, brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne, garlic and onion powder. All sorts of other ingredients find their way into everyone’s “secret recipe,” but the most common are cumin, dry mustard, celery salt or celery seed, dried oregano or rosemary, chili powder, ginger, allspice or even white pepper....

I haven’t posted a hot smoothie recipe in ages! It’s still far too cold for icy green smoothies, so I like to change it up and try different types of warm smoothie recipes! Apart from this slightly spicy and chocolaty Mexican Hot Chocolate Breakfast Smoothie, a couple of my favourites are the apple, elderflower and pomegranate hot smoothie, and the oaty mocha hot smoothie! The former being a lovely fruity, warm smoothie with the tangy-ness of those juicy fruits, the latter being a cosy, warming, creamy concoction with a little caffeine hit to get you moving!...

How to serve mole: This mole can be served with any mexican-style meat such as carne asada and carnitas. It can also be used to smother burritos and enchiladas. You could even just eat it plain or with some chips like a chip and dip. Time to Make It: 20 minutesYield: about 5 cups Ingredients3 fresh chile poblano1 jalapeno1/2 cup sesame seeds1/3 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)1 cup fresh basil, loosely packed1 onion6 leaves romaine lettuce1/2 zucchini1 avocado, pitted1/2 cup chicken broth Instructions...

Chocolate Cake vs. Red Velvet Cake: It is a common misconception that red velvet cake is just chocolate cake with red food coloring. Red velvet cake does have some chocolate flavor to it, but it is also slightly acidic and tangy, due to the buttermilk, vinegar, and either cream cheese or ermine frosting. In this recipe, we include the instructions for an ermine frosting that we love as a great balance to the tangy flavor of red velvet, but you can also use cream cheese frosting....

This recipe has been making it’s way viral across the internet for the past 5 years. It’s a fun spin on an American classic that takes your meatloaf game to a whole new level of delicious. We’ve taken our recipe for Mom’s Classic Meatloaf and stuffed it with mozzarella cheese for an ooey gooey new family favorite. Why does my meatloaf fall apart? There can be many reasons why your meatloaf falls apart....

Related to kale, cabbage, and collard greens, they are the peppery leafy greens of the mustard plant and are used frequently in Chinese, Japanese, and Indian cooking. What Do Mustard Greens Taste Like? I find them less bitter than kale or collard greens, and more peppery, like arugula. Just one taste of a raw leaf and you’ll know it came from a mustard plant. Cooked, they taste a lot like spinach but with more body....

I’m getting in there early with a pomegranate-rum cocktail I’ve been ’testing’. It started off with more rum and less pomegranate juice, but I soon realised it was perhaps a little too strong (like 5 sips and I was giggling strong). Although I’m giggling now whilst looking at this pic. Is it just me, or can you see a face on this glass? One blueberry for an eye (Chris says it’s winking at me, which is why there’s only one eye!...

No Bake Mango Cheesecake When I photograph beautiful cakes like this, it sometimes makes me wish I wasn’t the Queen of Brown Food. Salisbury Steak, Pot Roast, Beef and Mushroom Pie, Cottage Pie, Guinness Stew, Chickpea Curry, Lentil Soup…. if it’s brown-and-ugly-but-delicious, there’s a good chance I’ve already shared it and had the pleasure of trying to capture a photo of a pile of brown gloop so it looks as irresistibly delicious as it tastes....

The idea, first developed by Jim Lahey in his Sullivan Street Bakery in New York City, is simple but beautiful. Mix up a wet dough, let it rise overnight, pop it into a very hot pot in a very hot oven, and out comes a loaf with a beautiful crust that crackles as it cools, with an airy, bubbly crumb, and a chewy texture. You’re going to pat yourself on the back so hard your whole body will hurt....

Like okra, there’s a bit of a slime factor when you cook them, but that can be easily rinsed away. The prickly pear cactus grows all over the southwestern United States and the mediterranean and the young, tender paddles are a staple in Mexican cooking. You can either buy the young paddles whole, and then prep them by wearing thick gloves and gently scraping off the sharp spines, or you can do what most of us do which is to buy them already de-prickled and chopped....

Chicken and Dumplings is a classic American comfort food. It consists of a chicken and vegetable soup base, topped with a biscuit dough dumpling. You can find a wide variety of methods and preparations out there for chicken and dumplings, particularly when it comes to the dough for the dumpling itself. Drop Biscuit vs. Flat Noodles Dumplings vary from being flat and noodle like, to being more like a drop biscuit....

This particular one-pan meal starts with tossing chicken and vegetables in an easy sauce while the oven heats, and ends with everyone sitting down to dinner an hour later. Quick Marinade for Extra Flavor I like to give the chicken a quick marinade in the sauce – a mix of paprika, mustard, lemon juice, and olive oil – while chopping up the vegetables. It doesn’t need to marinate for long, but I find it makes the chicken just that much more flavorful and tender....

Traditionally served on yellow saffron Risotto Milanese and topped with a fresh mixture of parsley, lemon and garlic known as Gremolata. But just as delicious piled over mashed potato! This is a slow cooked recipe that belongs alongside greats like Shredded Beef Ragu and Beef Guinness Stew. Osso Buco “You never have Osso Buco for me!!”, I pouted at my butcher. (“Never” being a bit of an exaggeration, but embellishment sometimes just pours out of me during desperate times....

So for this dish, I decided to marry the two—chicken and chickpeas, all coated with smoked paprika (and some pepper and oregano), and bake them on a bed of sliced onions. Perfect! Especially for a no-fuss midweek meal. The chickpeas provide enough starch for the chicken, so there’s no need for rice or potatoes. The dish does need a splash of green, which is ably accomplished by the addition of either chopped cilantro or parsley....

Now, these are not heavy hitters, booze-wise—you’ll likely need to eat over half the popsicles to begin feeling the rum. I don’t add as much rum as I would in a drinkable daiquiri. Booze doesn’t freeze solid, so the amount of rum needs to stay low for the popsicles to firm up. However, even with a smaller amount of rum, you’ll enjoy its fruity, buttery, and subtly spiced flavor, which also helps balance the sweet peaches....

As I have an almost unreasonable love of homemade crusts, I make several batches of dough in advance, and just wrap them in plastic wrap and keep them in the freezer until needed. This is a simple peach galette, with fresh yellow peaches tossed with a little sugar, flour, and vanilla. You can play around with it a bit. Before laying down the peaches I dotted the bottom of the crust with a little almond paste....

There’s no need to marinate the meat prior to cooking, and you can enjoy the leftovers reheated or cold. Tender, succulent, and very flavorful, ribeye is my favorite cut of beef. And this tasty recipe for cooking the whole roast is especially easy to make. Simply rub the meat with seasonings, then cook it in the oven until done. Your only real job as a cook is to avoid overcooking the roast....

Juicy thick cut pork chops are simple to prepare and the result can rival any traditional beef steak. I’m not even kidding! And they are way cheaper to buy too. I call them my secret weapon when it comes to feeding a crowd on a special occasion. Making a perfect pork chop is completely easy. If you haven’t had a thick cut pork chop before, well, prepare to fall in love with pork chops....

I recently ventured into the world of spicy cocktails with this pineapple jalapeño margarita. Most of my experiences with spicy cocktails in the past weren’t positive ones, as I find that spicy cocktails usually turn out a little too spicy. What I want (and rarely seem to get) is something balanced; not something that’s so hot from spice that it annihilates all the other flavors in the drink. A Classic Margarita With a Spicy Twist This margarita, made for me by a friend, was her attempt to get me to change my mind....
