White Chicken Chili with chicken breast, great northern beans and green chiles — USA recipe

🇺🇸USAAdvanced

Soups

White Chicken Chili

White chicken chili is the pale, creamy answer to the red beef kind — shredded chicken and white beans in a broth built on green chiles, cumin, and oregano, thickened by pureeing part of the beans rather than by flour. Cream cheese stirred in at the end makes it velvety without turning it into soup-with-cream. It's mild enough for a weeknight, and the bowl gets finished at the table with lime, coriander, and a handful of grated cheese.

Croquetas de Jamón with jamón serrano, whole milk and unsalted butter — Spain recipe

🇪🇸SpainMedium

Appetizers and Sandwiches

Croquetas de Jamón

Spanish ham croquetas are made from a thick bechamel enriched with finely diced jamón serrano, chilled until it can be shaped, then breaded and deep-fried. Unlike the French croquette, which is built on potato, the Spanish version has no starch filler at all: the interior is meant to be liquid at eating temperature and held together only by the crust. The dish came out of home kitchens as a way to use the last shreds of ham from the bone, and it survives in almost every bar in Spain as the standard measure of a kitchen. The two things that decide the result are the flour-to-milk ratio and how long the flour is cooked before the milk goes in. Active work is about an hour, but the dough must chill for several hours before shaping.

Fabada Asturiana with fabes de la granja, chorizo asturiano and morcilla asturiana — Spain recipe

🇪🇸SpainAdvanced

Soups

Fabada Asturiana

Fabada is the bean stew of Asturias, in northern Spain: large flat white beans called fabes de la granja cooked for hours with the compango, the set of cured pork that flavours the pot. The standard compango is chorizo, cured Asturian blood sausage, salt-cured pork shoulder and cured belly, and the broth thickens on its own from starch released by the beans rather than from any flour or puree. Records of fabes being grown in Asturias go back several centuries, though the dish in its present form is usually dated to the nineteenth century. Two rules separate a good pot from a broken one: the liquid must never reach a rolling boil, and the beans must not be stirred with a spoon. Add the overnight soak to the cooking time.

Coxinha with chicken thighs, chicken stock and requeijão — Brazil recipe

🇧🇷BrazilAdvanced

Appetizers and Sandwiches

Coxinha

Coxinha is the teardrop-shaped chicken croquette sold in every Brazilian bakery and snack bar, named after the chicken drumstick whose shape it imitates. The dough is a scalded flour paste made with the broth the chicken was poached in, which is why a coxinha tastes of chicken all the way through rather than only in its filling. Inside sits shredded thigh meat bound with requeijão, the Brazilian spreadable cheese, and the whole thing is breaded and deep-fried until the shell crackles. The two things that decide the result are kneading the dough while it is still hot and sealing the shell without trapping air.

Feijoada with black beans, carne seca and paio sausage — Brazil recipe

🇧🇷BrazilAdvanced

Meat Dishes

Feijoada

Feijoada is the black bean and pork stew eaten across Brazil, most often on Wednesdays and Saturdays and almost always as the only dish of the meal. Salt-cured and smoked pork cook slowly with black beans until the beans give up enough starch to turn the liquid into a dark, thick broth. The set of meats matters more than any seasoning: carne seca for salt and depth, smoked ribs for smoke, paio and calabresa for spice and fat. Origin stories tying it to slave quarters and discarded offcuts are widespread but historically contested, since bean and pork stews were already common in Portugal. Bean soaking and desalting the cured meat happen the day before.

Kimchi Jjigae (Korean Kimchi Stew)

Kimchi jjigae is a Korean stew built around well-fermented napa cabbage kimchi, pork belly and tofu. Frying the kimchi with the pork first turns its sharp brine into a deep red broth; the tofu goes in late so it stays in soft, generous pieces. Rice and a few banchan are all it needs.
