Chicken Liver Pâté with chicken liver, bacon and butter — France recipe

Chicken Liver Pâté

Chicken liver pâté is a smooth, buttery spread for toast: livers cooked with bacon, onion and carrot, then blended with more butter and a splash of milk. Cook the livers until the centre reaches 70°C and holds it for 2 minutes, then stop — longer frying makes the pâté grainy and bitter.

Solyanka with beef, sausage and pickled cucumbers — Russia recipe

Soups

Solyanka

Solyanka is a thick Russian soup built from several kinds of cured meat, brined pickles, olives, capers, and lemon. No other soup pairs those ingredients quite like this: three or four cured meats in one pot, pickles with a splash of their brine, olives, capers, and a lemon slice dropped in at the table. The result is sour, salty, and smoky all at once, thick enough that the spoon meets resistance. It began as a tavern soup made from whatever cured meat was on hand, and that's still the honest way to make it — a lone leftover sausage end belongs in this pot. Sour cream and parsley go on top, never into the pot.

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.

Rassolnik with beef, pearl barley and pickled cucumbers — Russia recipe

🇷🇺RussiaAdvanced

Soups

Rassolnik

A hearty Russian sour soup built on meat broth, pearl barley, and brined cucumbers, with its signature tang coming from cucumber pickle brine stirred in at the end. Potatoes and a carrot-onion sauté round it out; sour cream and dill finish each bowl. The trick is sequencing — potatoes cook before anything sour goes in, and the barley cooks apart to keep the broth clear.
