Crispy Duck Salad

Crispy duck salad is warm pan-fried duck breast sliced over crisp leaves and raw vegetables, dressed with soy, honey, ginger and sesame. The duck is cooked skin-side down from a cold pan so the fat renders out slowly and the skin turns glass-crisp, while the meat stays pink. The rich duck against cold, crunchy vegetables is the point of the dish.

Chili

Chili con carne is a thick, spicy stew of beef, red beans and tomatoes seasoned with cumin, paprika and hot chili. Despite the Spanish name it comes from Texas, where it has been the official state dish since 1977, and belongs to Tex-Mex cooking rather than to Mexico. It warms and fills, which makes it food for the cold season.

Ajapsandal with eggplant, tomato and garlic — Georgia recipe

Vegetable and Mushroom Dishes

Ajapsandal

Ajapsandal (also spelled Adzhapsandali or Ajapsandali) is a Georgian vegetable stew of eggplants, bell peppers, tomatoes and potatoes, seasoned with cilantro, basil, parsley, garlic and hot pepper. The eggplant is fried first, then everything simmers together under a lid for 20 to 25 minutes. It is served hot as a main course or cold as an appetiser, and many people think it tastes better the next day. The 70 minutes cover chopping, frying and stewing; salting the eggplant adds 20 to 30 minutes of waiting, and the finished stew rests another 15 to 20.
