After reading this blog, my colleague, former boss, and good friend Rhonda Linginfelter offered to share with me the details of her never-before-disclosed Gumbo recipe.  There are as many recipes for gumbo as there are people who make it, but this one really can’t be beat.  This is perfect for a cold winter day – particularly a Sunday during football season.  This makes a ton, so make it for a group or plan to freeze some.

As mole recipes go, this one is as easy as it gets.  That said, it’s still a fair amount of work.  All of that work can be done a day or two in advance, making it a great option for entertaining.   Continue reading ‘Lacquered Chicken with Red Mole’

Poulet en Cocotte

This dish requires a relatively large Dutch oven, and I’ve been meaning to make it since I bought one a couple of years ago.   This recipe is essentially the one that Julia Child included in Mastering the Art of French Cooking, though the addition of foil in combination with the lid (which enables the chicken very moist despite the long, slow cooking time) was a twist introduced by the folks at America’s Test Kitchen, so that’s what I’ve linked to below.

This weekend, I wanted to make a big batch of tamales to entertain a large group (and as an excuse to use the new tamalera I just bought).  There are two common wrappers for tamales – dried corn husks and banana leaves.  Since I was making two different varieties, I used both types of wrapper to make it easy to distinguish between them.  A huge pot of steamed tamales – along with a big pot of borracho beans (or charro beans) and some rice – what could be better?
