Ingredients

• ✓ kosher salt
• brown sugar
• water
• active dry yeast
• butter
• lager-style beer
• bread flour
• butter
• cooking spray
• sea salt
• baking soda
• water

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Mix brown sugar and warm water until dissolved. Sprinkle yeast over top and let sit for 10 minutes.
3. 3 Add melted butter and beer to the yeast mixture and whisk until combined. Add bread flour and salt. Mix and then knead with your hands or an electric mixer for a few minutes until a dough ball forms.
4. 4 Grease a bowl with 1 teaspoon butter. Place dough in the bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 8 hours, or overnight.
5. 5 Punch down the dough and knead until a smooth ball of dough is formed, about 1 minute. Place back in the bowl, cover, and let rise until dough has almost doubled in size, 2 to 3 more hours.
6. 6 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place baking soda in an oven-safe dish. Place baking soda in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Let cool, and then whisk into a shallow bowl of 2 1/2 cups hot water until dissolved. Mixture can be strained to remove any dissolved pieces. Reserve until needed.
7. 7 Punch down the dough and divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each one into a ball; let sit for 5 minutes.
8. 8 To form a pretzel, roll a dough ball into a sausage shape, and then press into a small rectangle with your fingers. Fold the outside third of the dough into the center, and press flat with your fingertips, and then repeat with the edge closest to you.
9. 9 Roll the dough into a rope 15 to 18 inches long, with the center (belly) of the rope being twice as thick as the ends. Cross the ends once or twice and fold them back over the pretzel so the ends are just past the belly. Repeat to form remaining pretzels.
10. 10 Put on some thin, food-safe gloves and transfer a pretzel to the baking soda bath; soak for 20 to 30 seconds, gently splashing liquid over the top of the pretzel to coat. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet that's been greased with cooking spray. Sprinkle the still-damp pretzel with large-grain sea salt. Repeat with remaining pretzels and let rise for 30 minutes.
11. 11 Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Use a razor or sharp knife to make a slash across the "belly" of each pretzel. Smaller cuts can also be made on other sides of the pretzel if desired.
12. 12 Bake in the preheated oven until well browned, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
13. 13 Serve and enjoy!

Ingredients

• ✓ kosher salt
• beef round
• black pepper
• dijon mustard
• bacon
• paprika
• onion
• dill pickle
• vegetable oil
• butter
• all-purpose flour
• beef broth
• salt

Instructions

1. 1 Place slices of beef on a work surface, Season both sides with kosher salt and pepper. Spread one side with mustard. Place bacon strips on the mustard and sprinkle with paprika. Arrange onion slices cross-wise on the beef. Then evenly space 3 pickle slices across each slice of beef. Keep about an inch of the narrowest end of the beef slice free of toppings to facilitate rolling it up.
2. 2 Roll each slice of meat, beginning from the wider of the two short ends, working to keep all ingredients inside the roll. Rolls should be nice and tight. Secure the rolls (seam side down) with 3 loops of butcher's twine, one in the middle and one at each end. Trim excess string.
3. 3 Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large saucepan. Cook beef, turning and browning well on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove meat from pan. Reduce heat to medium-low. Melt butter in the pan; whisk in the flour, cooking for about 1 minute. Pour in cold beef broth and whisk vigorously to combine. Raise heat to medium-high and simmer until sauce begins to thicken, about 1 minute.
4. 4 Transfer beef rolls to pan along with accumulated juices. Reduce heat to very low. Simmer gently, covered, turning rolls every 20 minutes or so, until beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. When the tip of a sharp knife can easily be inserted into the beef roll, the meat is done.
5. 5 Transfer meat to dish to allow it to rest. Raise heat to high and bring cooking liquid to a simmer to thicken slightly to make a gravy, about 1 minute. Serve rouladen with gravy.

• water
• caraway seed
• black pepper
• cayenne pepper
• cinnamon
• chicken broth
• lemon juice
• orange juice
• orange
• garlic
• sugar
• onion
• olive oil
• chicken thigh

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Generously season chicken thighs on both sides with 2 teaspoons kosher salt.
3. 3 Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, to the hot oil and sear until skin is golden brown and releases from the bottom of the skillet, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and sear on the other side for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and remove chicken to a plate. Drain fat from the skillet and reserve for another use.
4. 4 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the skillet back on the stove. Add onion, a pinch of kosher salt, and sugar. Turn heat to medium-high; cook and stir until onion turns translucent and sugar starts to caramelize on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn.
5. 5 Add orange zest, orange juice, lemon juice, and chicken broth. Increase heat to high, and stir in cinnamon, cayenne, and black pepper. Stir occasionally and bring to a boil. Boil until liquids are reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
6. 6 Turn off the heat and transfer chicken and any accumulated juices back into the skillet; make sure the skin is facing up. Baste chicken with the liquid and sprinkle caraway seeds over top.
7. 7 Cover and bake in the center of the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven, remove the lid, and baste chicken.
8. 8 Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 20 more minutes, adding a splash of water if the liquid dries out. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
9. 9 Remove from the oven and baste again. Garnish with grated orange zest.

Ingredients

• ✓ kosher salt
• vegetable oil
• onion
• garlic
• paprika
• black pepper
• beef stew meat
• vegetable oil
• water
• tomato paste
• egg noodle
• sour cream
• parsley

Instructions

1. 1 Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onions until they soften and begin to brown at edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a slow cooker. Cover and set cooker to Low heat.
2. 2 Mix together paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss meat cubes in the paprika mixture until evenly coated.
3. 3 Heat one tablespoon of the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Put a third of the beef cubes into the skillet and cook until nicely browned on all sides. Transfer to the slow cooker. Pour 2 tablespoons of water into the skillet and scrape browned bits from the pan; pour liquid into the slow cooker. This prevents paprika from burning when you brown next batches of beef. Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet and cook next batch the same way; repeat for third batch.
4. 4 Stir tomato paste and the rest of water into the slow cooker; cover. Cook on High for 4 to 5 hours (or on Low for 6 to 9 hours).
5. 5 Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in egg noodles and cook uncovered, occasionally stirring, until noodles have cooked through, but are still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain.
6. 6 Serve goulash over noodles with a dollop of sour cream and a sprig of parsley.

• chicken
• butter
• mushroom
• onion
• black pepper
• cumin
• paprika
• cayenne pepper
• heavy cream
• tarragon
• lemon
• gruyere cheese
• puff pastry
• egg

Instructions

1. 1 Remove meat from roasted chicken by tearing it into bite-size pieces with your hands.
2. 2 Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir and cook until mushrooms are browned, about 5 minutes. Add onions and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and cook until onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Season with remaining salt, pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir and cook for about 30 seconds.
3. 3 Pour in heavy cream and cook, stirring, until thickened, gold and bubbling, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and mix in fresh tarragon. Add chicken and stir until sauce is absorbed into the chicken and mushroom mixture. Place mixture into a bowl. Add lemon zest and lemon juice. Fold in Gruyere cheese and mix until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until filling is chilled, at least 30 minutes.
4. 4 Set out puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured parchment paper and roll out to a 12 x 15 inches rectangle. Lightly dust the surface of the puff pastry with flour and place another sheet of parchment paper on top. Roll out the pastry sheet so that it lays flat. Transfer with the parchment paper onto a baking sheet and freeze for about 10 minutes so it is firmed up.
5. 5 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
6. 6 Move dough onto a work surface with the parchment paper. Using the tip of a knife, lightly score the pastry into 3 strips lengthwise. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut away the top 2 corners of the top so it resembles a triangle shape. Take one of the corner pieces that was removed and use water to stick it to the middle section of the bottom (which will help with sealing the strudel).
7. 7 Starting at the scored center section by the pointy side, make 3/4 inch cuts all the way down one side, following the angle of the top. Repeat on the other side following the top angle and creating the same number of sections as on the first side. Transfer parchment paper with dough onto a baking sheet.
8. 8 Add 1/2 of the chicken mushroom filling to the middle section. Fold the top and bottom of the middle section pastry over the top of the filling. Start folding the dough strips alternately over the filling, covering the entire strudel. Trim off excess dough. Brush the top of the pastry with a beaten egg.
9. 9 Place in the center of the preheated oven and bake until golden brown and crisp, 35 to 40 minutes. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then slice and serve.

• milk
• cheddar cheese
• scallion

Instructions

1. 1 Put corned beef in a pot with onion and celery and sprinkle spice packet over top. Pour in cold water to cover. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Skim off and discard any foam if desired. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently until tender, about 3 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
2. 2 Carefully remove corned beef to a bowl and let cool. Taste broth and add salt if needed.
3. 3 Bring broth to a boil over high heat. Add cabbage to the boiling broth. Cook until cabbage just starts to soften and sweeten up, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon and remove cabbage to a bowl.
4. 4 Add carrots to the boiling broth. Cook until carrots start to soften, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon and remove carrots to a bowl.
5. 5 Add potatoes to the boiling broth and reduce heat to medium. Cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
6. 6 While the potatoes are cooking, slice the cooled corned beef along the fatty seam to separate into 2 pieces. Identify the direction of the meat fibers and cut across them (against the grain) to slice into 1/4-inch thick slices, trimming off and discarding any giant pieces of fat. Set aside.
7. 7 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 9x15-inch casserole dish.
8. 8 Use a slotted spoon and remove cooked potatoes to a bowl. Reserve broth. Add butter, salt, pepper, cayenne, and milk to the potatoes. Mix and mash until very smooth. Toss in 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese and mix until incorporated.
9. 9 Pour cabbage into the prepared casserole dish and press on it until nicely compacted. Evenly distribute and press carrots over the cabbage. Place a nice, even layer of corned beef on top, overlapping a bit and distributing the nice fatty pieces evenly until fully covered. Pour in 1 cup of the reserved broth. Dollop mashed potatoes over top, then spread into a uniform layer with the back of a spatula. Switch to a fork and push potatoes to the edge of the dish. Then drag the fork sideways back and forth over the potatoes to create a texture. Repeat this texture going top to bottom over the potatoes. Sprinkle with a little more Cheddar.
10. 10 Bake in the center of the preheated oven until beautifully browned and piping hot, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
11. 11 Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
12. 12 Meanwhile, warm any remaining broth over medium-low heat.
13. 13 Cut Shepherd's pie into squares and garnish with scallions. Serve with warmed broth.

• salt
• olive oil
• onion
• garlic
• tomato paste
• all-purpose flour
• black pepper
• paprika
• paprika
• cayenne pepper
• chicken broth
• sour cream
• heavy cream

Instructions

1. 1 Season chicken generously on both sides with salt. Heat olive oil in a heavy, deep-sided pan (that comes with a lid) over high heat and brown the chicken well, skin-side down, about 5 minutes; flip and continue to sear until other side is browned, 3 to 4 minutes more. Turn off heat. Transfer the browned chicken to a plate and reserve until needed; spoon out excess chicken fat if desired.
2. 2 Add onions and a pinch of salt to the same pan and saute over medium until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, tomato paste, and flour and cook, stirring, another 3 to 4 minutes to form a tomato roux. Stir in 1 teaspoon kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and sweet paprika and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer over high heat.
3. 3 Reduce heat to medium-low and transfer chicken and accumulated juices back into the pan. Baste the tops with the sauce, cover the pan with the lid, and simmer, basting occasionally with the sauce, until the chicken is no longer pink in the centers and is fork-tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove the chicken and transfer to a plate.
4. 4 Skim some fat off the top of the sauce if desired. Whisk heavy cream and sour cream into the sauce and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Transfer the chicken and any juices back into the sauce. Simmer, uncovered, basting often, until chicken is heated through and very tender, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Ingredients

• ✓ kosher salt
• all-purpose flour
• salt
• vegetable oil
• water
• water
• butter
• yellow onion
• russet potato
• farmer's cheese
• salt
• black pepper
• cayenne pepper
• butter
• sour cream
• chive

Instructions

1. 1 Prepare dough: Mix 3 ½ cups flour and salt together in a large bowl, then make a well in the center. Pour vegetable oil and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water into the well. Stir to form a shaggy dough that just pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Use a little flour to clean the dough off the spoon.
2. 2 Transfer dough to a work surface; press and knead for a few minutes until you have a smooth, soft dough. You can add a little more flour if it's too sticky but don't add too much. Form dough into a ball and wrap in plastic. Leave on the counter for 1 hour or pop it into the refrigerator for 3 hours to overnight.
3. 3 Prepare buttered onions: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and salt and sauté, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let mixture cool a bit, then transfer to a bowl and reserve until needed.
4. 4 Prepare filling: Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well and mash until smooth. Let cool to room temperature, 10 to 15 minutes.
5. 5 Place farmer's cheese in a bowl and break it up with a spoon. Add salt, pepper, and cayenne, then add 2 to 3 heaping spoons of the buttered onions. Be sure to drain off most of the butter so you're adding mostly onions. Mix just until ingredients are evenly combined.
6. 6 Add cooled mashed potatoes and mix until thoroughly combined. Set aside while you roll the dough.
7. 7 Roll ¼ of the dough at a time on a floured surface until very thin, at least 1/8-inch thick or thinner if possible. Cut 3 ½-inch circles out of the dough, saving all scraps for re-rolling.
8. 8 Add about 2 tablespoons filling to the center of each circle. Moisten your fingertips with water and wet the edges, then fold the dough over the filling and seal the two edges together in the center. Flatten the filling very lightly under the dough as you press and seal the edge of each pierogi with your fingers, working from the center to the ends. Try not to trap air in the pierogi as you seal. The edge can be left as is, or you can pinch the dough every inch or so to make pleats for a more decorative appearance.
9. 9 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pierogi in batches and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes (they may or may not float to the top.)
10. 10 While the pierogi are boiling, melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
11. 11 Transfer pierogi from the boiling water directly into the melted butter. Cook until light golden brown, about 2 minutes per side or longer if more browning is desired.
12. 12 Continue boiling and browning pierogi in batches as needed.
13. 13 Transfer to a plate and spoon buttered onions over top. Garnish with sour cream and chives.

2. 2 Whisk together salt, garam masala, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and cardamom in a small bowl. Sprinkle over chicken and turn to coat evenly.
3. 3 Melt clarified butter in a large, heavy skillet over high heat. Cook chicken thighs in hot butter until browned on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. When cool enough to handle, cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.
4. 4 Make sauce: Place the skillet with chicken drippings over medium-high heat. Stir onion into the skillet; sauté until onion softens and turns translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook until paste caramelizes, about 5 minutes. Stir garlic and ginger into tomato-onion mixture; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. 5 Pour crushed tomatoes into the skillet. Bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Pour in coconut milk and chicken broth; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors blend and sauce is slightly reduced, about 15 minutes.
6. 6 Stir chicken and any accumulated juices into sauce. Add cilantro and red pepper flakes; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until chicken is cooked through and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

• ✓ kosher salt
• vegetable oil
• parmesan cheese
• cheddar cheese
• chicken broth
• dill weed
• black pepper
• garlic
• onion
• ground beef
• butter
• olive oil
• oil
• salt
• sugar
• butter
• egg
• all-purpose flour
• active dry yeast
• milk

Instructions

1. 1 Combine 1 scant cup warm milk and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Let sit until foamy and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Add 3 scant cups flour (holding back a small amount in case dough gets too dry), 2 tablespoons melted butter, egg, sugar, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Knead in the mixer until dough is soft and supple.
2. 2 Turn dough out onto your work surface. Grease the bowl with about 1/2 teaspoon oil; place dough back in bowl. Cover bowl; let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
3. 3 Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, onion, and garlic; season with 2 teaspoons kosher salt and black pepper. Cook, breaking apart beef with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
4. 4 Stir dill into beef mixture. Add chicken broth; stir, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Cool mixture for 10 minutes; stir in Cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese. Cool filling completely.
5. 5 Transfer dough to a work surface; punch down dough to release air bubbles. Pinch off a piece of dough; form into a ball, then press into a disk. Lightly dust with flour; roll into a circle about 1/8-inch thick and 5- to 6-inches in diameter. Dampen edges of dough circle with water using your fingers.
6. 6 Place dough circle in one hand; add about 3 tablespoons beef filling. Pinch dough edges together to seal. Place pirozhki on the work surface, seam-side up; pinch off any excess dough. Moisten center of seam with water. Fold 2 ends inward and flip pirozhki over, seam-side down; press down lightly.
7. 7 Form remaining pirozhki using remaining dough and filling; rest until dough rises slightly, 15 to 20 minutes.
8. 8 Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry pirozhki in batches, seam-sides down, until golden brown, about 90 seconds. Flip and fry until browned on the other side, about 90 seconds more. Drain on paper towels. Cool for about 3 minutes.
