Lemon Marry Me Chicken

The original Marry Me Chicken gets a lemon treatment — zest and juice cut through the cream sauce and make the whole thing taste lighter than it has any right to. Sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan, garlic, a splash of white wine, fresh thyme. One skillet, one sauce, chicken thighs that stay juicy because they finish in the oven. Serve it over pasta, rice, or just with bread to drag through the sauce.

Lomo Saltado

Lomo saltado is a beef stir-fry from the chifa kitchens of Peru, where Cantonese cooking technique met Peruvian ingredients from the late nineteenth century onward. Strips of sirloin are seared in a scorching pan, then joined by red onion, ají amarillo, tomato, soy sauce and vinegar, and the whole thing is finished with fried potatoes folded in at the last second. Serving it over rice puts two starches on one plate, which is exactly the point: the potato is Andean, the rice and the wok are Chinese, and the soy-and-vinegar pan sauce belongs to neither on its own. Everything depends on pan temperature, so all cutting and measuring is done before the burner is lit.

Lyulya Kebab (Azerbaijani Lamb Skewers)

Lyulya kebab is Azerbaijani ground-lamb skewers grilled over a mangal. The meat is kneaded long with grated onion and lamb tail fat until it turns dense and tacky — with no egg or bread, that kneading is what keeps it on the skewer. It grills to a browned crust and is served with sumac, pickled onion, and lavash.
