Biryani can also be a fantastic one-pot meal to make on busy weeknights. With a few shortcuts, you can have it ready in under an hour. Today, I’m sharing my easy stovetop version of biryani with chicken. The ratio of rice to meat in biryani might surprise you. This isn’t a dish of meat served with rice on the side. It’s a dish of rice flavored with meat. Think of the chicken as a seasoning for the rice....

They cook up in about nothing flat. They’re great for midweek meals when you are just rushing to get something on the table. Creamy Mushroom Sauce Chicken breasts also take to sauces well. Since they’re relatively lean, they love rich, cream-based sauces. This particular creamy sauce is loaded with mushrooms and seasoned with sage. I found the sauce accompanying a pasta recipe on Bon Appetit years ago, delicious! And perfect to go with chicken cutlets....

So you use a match, and for some reason that grill. Will. Just. Not. Get. Hot. Enough. So you start over with the Weber and some charcoal, and grill a batch of beautiful skirt steak skewers that were marinating the whole time you were futzing with the equipment. And they are so perfect and delicious that you don’t care about the broken starter that needs to get fixed or your close call with a black widow....
So why not work it to your advantage? Everything we say here goes for lasagna and most any other casserole. This whole process is very adaptable. Think of it as a choose-your-own-adventure in meal prep! Can You Freeze Cooked Lasagna? Yes! In fact, you can freeze most casseroles unbaked, or bake them first, then freeze. Why choose one over the other? Convenience, mainly. You might have time to put a casserole together, but not time to bake and cool it....
But if there’s one Scotch cocktail worth knowing, it’s the Penicillin. This Scotch-based whiskey sour—made with both blended and peaty Scotch—is a true modern classic. The History of the Penicillin Cocktail Although it possesses the brilliant simplicity and why-didn’t-I-think-of-that-ness of a storied classic, the Penicillin has fairly recent origins. It was created in the early 2000s by Sam Ross, a bartender who worked at the pioneering New York cocktail spot Milk & Honey....

The mojito is already practically a perfect drink in every way, so what could possibly make it better? A little seasonal fruit, like strawberries! When they reach their peak at the beginning of summer, strawberries are an excellent accompaniment to a mojito’s sweet, sour, minty flavor. Which Rum to Use for a Mojito I use Bacardi, but any white rum will do. White rum (also called silver or light rum) is clear, like vodka, and has a subtle, sweet flavor....
This is a lovely way to eat smaller onions. I learned this recipe from Italian cookbooks, where they call it onions agrodolce, but the concept of sweet-and-sour onions is pretty widespread. Basically you cook the onions part way either by roasting or boiling—we boil them here—and then finish them off in a pan with oil (or butter) something sweet (in this case honey) and something sharp, usually vinegar. You can totally play with flavors....

Yikes! No more. This is a delicious way to serve greens, whether collard, kale, or beet. In fact, beet greens taste (and look) a lot like Swiss chard. So, the next time you buy beets with the greens attached, don’t throw away the greens! Chop them up and add them to a soup or stew, or prepare sautéed with onions and bacon like we are doing in the following recipe....
Cooks (including myself) love it because you can satisfy your carb cravings without the wheat, all while sneaking in an extra serving of veggies.

Challah is the best bread for French toast, bar none. It’s sturdy enough to stand up to its custard soak and a shower of maple syrup, yet tender and fluffy enough to cut with a fork. Cooked in a generous amount of butter, the thick slices of challah become beautifully browned after just a few minutes in the skillet. How to Make Challah French Toast Preparing French toast from challah is no different than using other breads....
No one in a temperate climate should ever have to pay a dime for arugula; it grows like a weed, more aggressive even than dandelion. Thank goodness it tastes so good, both raw and cooked! This chicken roll-up combines spicy arugula with creamy goat cheese for a wonderful compliment to the chicken. Easy to make as well. Recipe barely adapted from Martha Stewart’s now defunct Everyday Food magazine. Related Video
