🇺🇸USAAdvanced

Soups

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.

The filling is spiced ground beef with smoked paprika, cumin, green olives, and hard-boiled egg. No raisins. The paprika turns the filling and crust an orange-red that identifies these across Argentina. Made in batches, best eaten warm, and freezable before baking.

Oven-Roasted Chicken Shawarma with boneless chicken thighs, garlic and lemon juice — Lebanon recipe

Meat Dishes

Oven-Roasted Chicken Shawarma

This home-oven shawarma trades the vertical spit for a fiercely hot sheet pan and a final pass under the broiler. The chicken thighs stay juicy while their thin edges blister and char, which gives the platter the roasted spice flavor people expect from shawarma. Serve it with warm pita, toum, pickles and chopped vegetables, or turn the same chicken into a rice bowl.

Meat Dishes

Frikadellen (German Pan-Fried Meat Patties)

Germany's everyday meat patty: minced pork and beef bound with a soaked bread roll, seasoned with mustard, marjoram, and plenty of onion, then fried flat in a pan rather than grilled. The soaked roll is what keeps them tender, and they're eaten as often cold from the fridge with mustard as hot with potatoes.
