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

🇫🇷FranceMedium

Appetizers and Sandwiches

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.

Chicken Quesadilla with flour tortillas, chicken and Monterey Jack cheese — Mexico recipe

🇲🇽MexicoMedium

Appetizers and Sandwiches

Chicken Quesadilla

Flour tortillas folded over spiced shredded chicken, peppers, and melted cheese, then toasted in a dry pan until golden and crisp. The trick to a quesadilla that doesn't leak is restraint: don't overfill it, and put cheese against both halves of the tortilla so it fuses shut into one crisp, molten package.

Chimichurri Rojo (Argentine Red Chimichurri) with roasted red bell pepper, fresh flat leaf parsley and red wine vinegar — Argentina recipe

🇦🇷ArgentinaMedium

Sauces and Dips

Chimichurri Rojo (Argentine Red Chimichurri)

Chimichurri rojo is the red version of Argentina's chimichurri, the uncooked sauce of parsley, garlic, oregano, wine vinegar and oil that goes on grilled meat. The red comes from pimentón dulce (sweet paprika) and ají molido, the crushed dried chili of the Argentine pantry; some cooks there also add chopped red bell pepper (morrón), and this recipe takes that route, charring the pepper over a flame first. Everything is chopped by hand, stirred with the vinegar, then covered with oil. Hands-on time is about 30 minutes; the pepper steams under a plate for 10 minutes while you chop the rest, and the finished sauce needs 30 minutes on the counter before it tastes right. Makes about 350 ml (1½ cups); a serving is about 3 tablespoons.

Chuka Seaweed Salad with wakame, sesame oil and rice vinegar — Japan recipe

🇯🇵JapanMedium

Salads

Chuka Seaweed Salad

Chuka is a seaweed salad served as a cold starter in sushi restaurants outside Japan, made here from rehydrated dried wakame leaves in a sesame-soy dressing. The name is misleading: 'chuka' (中華) means 'Chinese-style' in Japanese and describes the dressing, not a type of seaweed. The seaweed is wakame, sold dried as cut wakame (カットわかめ). The dried strands soak in cold water until silky, then get tossed with rice vinegar, chili paste, and grated ginger. It comes together in under 15 minutes and keeps well chilled for a day or two.

Çılbır (Turkish Eggs) with eggs, Greek yogurt and butter — Turkey recipe

🇹🇷TurkeyMedium

Breakfast and Brunch

Çılbır (Turkish Eggs)

Poached eggs on a bed of thick, garlicky yogurt, finished with warm spiced butter or olive oil. Çılbır (pronounced chil-bir) dates to the Ottoman court of the 15th century. The combination sounds unusual — cold yogurt with hot eggs — but the contrast is exactly the point: the cool, tangy, creamy yogurt cushions the egg, the runny yolk breaks into it, and the red-tinted butter pools on top and sizzles when it hits the yogurt. This is one of those dishes that takes fifteen minutes and tastes like it took an hour. Bread is mandatory. You will not leave a drop.
