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.

Meat Dishes

Galbi-jjim (Korean Braised Short Ribs)

Galbi-jjim is Korea's celebration dish — beef short ribs braised low and slow in a dark, glossy soy sauce until the meat slides from the bone. Blended Korean pear tenderizes the beef and lends a clean sweetness that balances the salt, while radish, carrot, shiitake, chestnuts, and jujubes soak up the sauce alongside it. Served at holidays and family gatherings, it's the kind of dish that fills a house with its smell for hours. Allow 30 minutes to 1 hour to soak the ribs before you start.

Garlic Butter Chicken with Rice

Chicken thighs seared skin-side down until the fat renders and the skin turns deep gold, then finished in the oven on a bed of garlic-butter rice that absorbs all the drippings. The rice cooks in chicken fat and broth simultaneously — which is why it tastes nothing like rice made separately. One pan, under 40 minutes, 38g of protein per serving.
