Mole Poblano
Mole Poblano is a complex and flavorful Mexican sauce that's worth the effort. Begin by bringing 5 cups of chicken stock to a boil in a saucepan, then remove it from the heat. Submerge 4 dried chipotle chilies, 4 dried mulato chilies (or ancho), and 6 dried pasilla chilies, along with 1/2 cup of pitted prunes, in the hot stock, and let them rehydrate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Roast a large quartered yellow onion and 6 halved roma tomatoes on a baking sheet until softened and charred, about 20 minutes. In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, toast 1/3 cup of sesame seeds, 6 whole cloves, 1 teaspoon of aniseeds, and 1/2 teaspoon of whole peppercorns until fragrant. Then add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1 teaspoon of Mexican oregano, and toast for another minute. Grind the spices until fine. In a blender, combine the roasted onion and tomatoes, the rehydrated chilies and prunes (with most of the stock), 8 cloves of chopped garlic, the ground spices, and 1/2 cup of almonds until smooth. Optionally, strain the mixture and transfer it to a skillet over medium-low heat. Simmer the sauce with 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 ounces of Mexican chocolate, and salt to taste. Adjust the consistency with additional stock if needed. If the mole is too spicy, balance it with fresh lime juice or white vinegar. Enjoy this rich and flavorful sauce with your favorite dishes!
Honey Hoisin Chicken
Honey Hoisin Chicken presents a flavorful dish that's easy to prepare. Begin by combining hoisin sauce, honey or agave, minced garlic, chicken stock, and red pepper flakes in a small dish. Set this sauce aside. Pat dry 2 pounds of chicken and generously season it with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat with neutral cooking oil. Once hot, add the chicken skin side down (if applicable) and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken, cover the skillet, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for approximately 15 minutes. Next, add the prepared honey hoisin sauce to the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Allow the sauce to reduce and thicken slightly. Once the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, transfer it to a platter and spoon the additional sauce over each piece for a delightful meal.
Strip Steak with White Bean Ragout
Strip Steak with White Bean Ragout offers a savory dish perfect for any occasion. Begin by allowing your steaks to reach room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling. Pat dry with paper towels and season generously with sea salt, black pepper, and seasoned salt. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat and add butter and olive oil. Sear the seasoned steaks for 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked to your desired doneness. Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a cutting board and cover lightly with foil. In the same skillet, add butter, cannellini beans with the liquid, sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, shallot, rosemary, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in grated parmesan. Adjust seasoning if needed. Slice the rested steak and serve with the flavorful white bean ragout for a delicious meal.
