A No-Recipe Recipe Manifesto - The New York Times Posted: 03 Mar 2021 02:00 AM PST Here's a jumping-off point, a no-recipe recipe that takes less than an hour: meltingly tender pork chops in an onion gravy, with lemon-bright mashed potatoes and sautéed greens. It's a bulwark against cold weather, one of the great winter feasts. Cooking without recipes is a kitchen skill, no different from dicing vegetables or flipping an omelet. Start with the pork chops, as many as you need, on the bone if possible. Dredge them in flour that you've mixed with chili powder, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika and red-pepper flakes, or with Lawry's seasoned salt or Old Bay seasoning or any spice you like, really. (Save what's left of the flour; you'll use it later.) Then sear the chops, in batches if you have to, in an oil-slicked Dutch oven or heavy cast-iron pan, over fairly high heat. (I'm sorry, but if you don't have a Dutch oven, one of those big, heavy numbers in which you can burble beans, bake bread and make gumbo and stew, I really think you ought to try to get one. This recipe will reward the effort amply. And you'll have that Dutch oven for the rest of your life.) Attend to the browning carefully. You want a big, flavorful crust on the meat before you braise it with the onions, to enhance the taste of the sauce and provide a little texture at the end as well. Set the seared chops on a platter. Throw away what oil is left in the pot, and wipe it out. Return the pot to the stove, and set over medium heat. Add some butter, and when it melts and foams, use it to sauté an enormous number of sliced onions, allowing them to wilt and soften and almost (but not quite) start to go brown. Sprinkle a scant handful of the leftover dredging flour over the onions, and stir it around, then keep cooking and stirring for a few minutes to dampen the rawness of the flour. Add about half an inch of chicken stock to the pot, if you have any, or water if you don't, along with a bay leaf, perhaps, then stir to thicken and combine. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, add a little more liquid. Nestle the pork chops into the sauce, remove from heat, cover the pot and put it into a 350-degree oven for 45 minutes to an hour. While the pork cooks, make the mashed potatoes. I like to peel and quarter them in this situation, but you may feel differently. Either way, boil them in salted water until they're soft and cooked through. (Stab one with a fork to check.) Then crush them with a masher or whip them in a stand mixer if you have one of those — or use a sturdy fork if you don't. Add hot milk and melted butter and plenty of salt. How much butter and milk? In some French restaurants, the ratio would almost be equal parts with the potatoes. You needn't go that far. Then, to finish everything off, whisk enough lemon zest into the potatoes to give their taste a real brightness. Start with a teaspoon and work your way up, sampling as you go.

Recipes: Cooking with peanuts - Atlanta Journal Constitution Posted: 03 Mar 2021 09:50 AM PST March may be National Peanut Month, but as any farmer knows, farming is a year-round business. According to Casey Cox, a sixth-generation peanut farmer of Longleaf Ridge Farms in Camilla, Georgia, the timing of harvest is crucial. There has to be a stretch of dry weather to allow the peanuts to dry in the field. The soil is turned, the plants are separated from the nut, and they are left for two or three days to cure, or dry, before the next step. A hard rain can destroy a crop in a matter of hours. The incredible aroma I had experienced late that autumn evening was during this curing process. The sandy soil and subtropical climate of Georgia are ideal for producing peanuts. Our hot, humid summers also make peanuts an environmentally friendly crop in terms of water usage. It takes 5 gallons of water to produce 1 ounce of shelled peanuts, making them a sustainable plant-forward protein. (For perspective, it takes a whopping 80 gallons of water for the same amount of almonds.) According to the Harvard Medical School, peanut consumption can be linked to the same heart-health benefits as more pricey nuts. Both nutritious and filling, peanuts are a go-to in my kitchen. I hope you will go nuts for these modern comfort food recipes: Seedy Flatbread is a twist on the two-ingredient dough internet sensation; hearty and filling West African-inspired Peanut Butter Chicken is umami-packed, creamy, and boldly flavored; and the Three-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies don't require any flour! Flour is not quite as scarce as it was a year ago; nonetheless, there is something wonderfully comforting that you can have warm cookies in a matter of minutes. That's guaranteed to make you smile. Virginia Willis is an Atlanta-based Food Network Kitchen chef, James Beard Award-winning food writer and author of seven cookbooks. She is also a culinary consultant, including for the National Peanut Board. RECIPES Spread some creamy comfort with this trio of very doable and delicious peanut recipes: Seedy Flatbread for snacking, West African-inspired Peanut Butter Chicken for savory satisfaction, and Three-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies that are guaranteed to become part of your baking repertoire. Seedy Flatbread provides plenty of flavor at snacktime. Virginia Willis for The AJC Credit: Virginia Willis Credit: Virginia Willis Seedy Flatbread Umami or savory is one of the five basic tastes along with sour, salty, bitter and sweet. Scientifically speaking, it is a naturally occurring MSG that makes flavors craveable. It should be no news that peanuts are naturally high in umami. These simple flatbreads hit all the flavor notes. Seedy Flatbread 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped (try sweet heat or spiced, too) 2 tablespoons Everything Seasoning 1 cup self-rising flour, plus more for rolling 1/2 cup buttermilk 4 teaspoons olive oil or olive oil spray Adjust the rack in the center of the oven. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven. Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Combine the nuts and seasoning; set aside. Combine the flour and buttermilk in a bowl. Stir to combine. Transfer to a clean work surface lightly dusted with flour. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Using a rolling pin, and adding flour as needed, roll out 1 piece of the dough until very thin. (Aim for the thickness of a quarter.) Repeat with 1 more piece of dough, reserving the remaining 2 pieces for a second batch. Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Working quickly, add the discs of dough to the baking sheet, drizzle or mist oil over each, and evenly sprinkle with 1 heaping tablespoon of reserved seeds and nuts. Return baking sheet to the oven and cook until brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool. Repeat rolling and baking process with remaining dough. Store in an airtight container for up for 2 days. Makes 4.

Peanut Butter Chicken has a West African influence. Virginia Willis for The AJC Credit: Virginia Willis Credit: Virginia Willis Peanut Butter Chicken This recipe draws inspiration from a traditional West African chicken stew called "mafé" that often contains sweet potato and greens. I've adjusted it into a quick weeknight supper using boneless skinless chicken thighs bathed in a spicy gravy. It's the indispensable peanut that gives this dish its essential earthy character. Served alongside rice and a steamed vegetable, it makes for a very satisfying supper. Fresh Scotch bonnet gives it a fruity, floral heat, but if you want to make this a true pantry meal, simply substitute 1 teaspoon of dried red pepper flakes. Peanut Butter Chicken 2 cups homemade chicken stock or reduced-fat low-sodium chicken broth 2 tablespoons tomato paste Nonstick spray 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 onion, chopped 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter 1/2 Scotch bonnet or habanero pepper, seeded and finely chopped, or to taste 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin Cooked rice, for serving Combine the stock and tomato paste in a large measuring cup or bowl. Whisk or stir until no lumps of tomato paste remain. Set aside. Spray a large (10-12-inch) skillet with nonstick spray and heat over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and sear until brown on both sides, about 5 minutes total for both sides. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Set aside. Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger; cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the stock mixture, peanut butter, Scotch bonnet, coriander and cumin; stir until smooth. Add the chicken and turn to coat in the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is done and registers 165 degrees when measured with an instant-read thermometer, about 8 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately. Serves 4.

The third ingredient in Three-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies can be an egg, or aquafaba (the liquid with canned chickpeas) if you want a vegan version. Virginia Willis for The AJC Credit: Virginia Willis Credit: Virginia Willis Three-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies Many three-ingredient peanut butter cookie recipes call for 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup sugar and 1 egg. It's a lot of sugar, and I prefer making them with half the amount. Some recipes also do not recommend using all-natural peanut butter. Well, I say that's nuts! Lastly, the egg can be replaced with 3 tablespoons of canned chickpea liquid known as aquafaba, making them completely vegan. Three-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies 1 cup crunchy peanut butter 1/2 cup sugar 1 egg or 3 tablespoons canned chickpea liquid Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick silicone baking mat. In a bowl, combine with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon the peanut butter, sugar, and egg or canned chickpea liquid until well blended. Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Using the tines of a fork, make a crosshatch in the top of the dough. Bake until browned and set, about 10 minutes. Remove the baking sheet to a rack to cool. (If using the canned chickpea liquid, it is important to let the cookies cool a full 10 minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a rack to cool completely or to eat!) Store in a sealable airtight container for up to 1 week. Makes 2 dozen cookies.

The best heart-healthy recipes you should try in 2021 - TODAY Posted: 03 Mar 2021 06:34 AM PST How often do you think about your heart? Probably not that often, yet it's working hard for us every second of the day. Our heart pumps blood throughout our body, carrying the nutrients and oxygen that our organs rely on. And it also sends the carbon dioxide that we need to get rid of to our lungs. That means without a healthy heart, we're in deep trouble. Unfortunately, heart disease remains the number one killer of men and women in the United States. The food we eat, the beverages we drink, the air we breathe and the activities we do all have an effect on our ticker. Since we want to keep it in great shape for decades to come, let's take a look at the nutrients that can help us support heart health and the delicious foods we can find them in. Key Nutrients for Heart Health Magnesium Studies have shown a link between deficiency of this mineral and high blood pressure. Folks who don't get enough have elevated markers of inflammation, which can increase your risk of heart disease. You can find magnesium in beets, almonds, spinach, bananas and avocados. Women ages 31 and over need 320mg per day. Men 31 and up require 420mg. Here are some tasty ways to get it: 1. Roasted Beets with Pistachios and Ricotta Salata Nathan Congleton / TODAY If you think you don't like beets, it's time to give them another try! Roasting brings out their natural sweetness and their earthy flavor balances well with the crunchy pistachios and the salty ricotta salata cheese in this hearty salad. 2. Beet-Citrus Blast Smoothie Courtesy of Frances Largeman-Roth, RD The gorgeous, bright pink hue of this vegan smoothie will help you get energized at any time of day. And the magnesium it contains will help keep your ticker healthy. Plus, the hemp seeds in the recipe have the ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids for reducing heart disease risk. 3. Maple-Almond Crunch Bites TODAY Perfect as a pre-workout snack or afternoon treat, these date-sweetened bites are loaded with almonds in four forms (almonds, almond butter, almond flour and almond milk) and also contain fiber-rich chia seeds. 4. Fast and Easy Lemon-Crusted Salmon with Garlic Spinach TODAY Magnesium-rich spinach pairs up with another heart healthy food—salmon—in this simple weeknight meal. Potassium This electrolyte is vital for a healthy heart. Potassium helps balance out sodium levels in the body, which keeps your heart healthy and lowers risk of cardiovascular disease. That's why it's a cornerstone of the top-rated DASH Diet. Luckily, this mineral is abundant in plant foods, which is why nutrition experts are always telling us to eat more fruits and vegetables. You'll reap lots of potassium in bananas, potatoes, milk, orange juice, peaches and winter squash. Women ages 19 and over need 2600mg per day, while men need 3400mg. Here's how to get it: 5. Green Banana Smoothie Bowl Maya Visnyei Bananas, Greek yogurt, kale and coconut milk (or any plant milk you like) combine to make this pretty yogurt bowl. The muesli, flax seed and apple toppings contribute fiber, making this a very heart smart way to start your day. 6. Greek Potato Salad Nathan Congleton Flavorful and loaded with greens, this potato salad also includes protein from hard-boiled eggs, making it perfect as a main dish salad. It's one of the longevity recipes from "Blue Zones" author Dan Buettner. Frances Largeman-Roth This unique spin on a yogurt parfait combines two potassium rich foods—butternut squash and yogurt. Plus, you'll get another heart healthy nutrient—niacin—from the pumpkin seeds. Kelly Harrison This sweet dessert is the perfect ending to any meal. When you can't find fresh peaches, use frozen. Serve it over vanilla yogurt instead of ice cream to make it even healthier. 9. Double Orange Smoothie Courtesy of Frances Largeman-Roth, RD Made with a navel orange (nearly always in season from California), plus orange juice, this sipper is loaded with over 500 mg potassium and is a sunny way to start your day. Folic acid This B vitamin is essential for heart health, as well as a healthy pregnancy. Folic acid regulates levels of homocysteine--a marker for heart disease—in the blood. Homocysteine damages blood vessel walls and can lead to blood clots. Women and men age 19 and up both need 400 micrograms per day (more is required during pregnancy). You can find folic acid in enriched cereal, pasta, rice and bread, lentils, spinach, edamame and wheat germ. Get your fill of folic acid in these recipes: 10. Orecchiette with Peas, Ricotta and Black Pepper Stefano Secchi So springy and easy to make, you'll want to add this to your pasta rotation! Many people are surprised to learn that a serving of enriched semolina pasta has 50% of the daily value for folic acid. 11.

Spiced with coriander, cinnamon and cumin, these lentils (part of the pulse family) are delicious and filling and make a perfect dish to meal-prep for the week. 12. Edamame Guacamole Maya Visnyei The avocados in this creamy green dip are already good for your heart, but you can bump it up a notch with the addition of edamame. The soybeans add folic acid, as well as fiber to this tangy favorite. 13. Crispy Oven-Baked Chicken Tenders Joy Bauer Wheat germ blends with whole grain breadcrumbs to create a flavorful and healthy coating for these tasty tenders, which make a great weeknight meal for the whole family. Niacin Another B vitamin, niacin is great for your ticker because it helps to increase HDL (good cholesterol) levels. Women ages 19 and up need 14mg per day, while men require 16 mg. You can get niacin in avocado, peanut butter, green peas, baked potatoes, and pumpkin seeds. Load up on niacin with these dishes: 14. Al's Garlic Avocado Toast TODAY Avocado toast lovers rejoice! The creamy fruit is a great source of niacin, and also serves up 4.5g of heart-healthy fiber in half of an avocado. 15. Non-Dairy Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshake Nathan Congleton / TODAY A childhood fave, creamy peanut butter makes a healthful addition to smoothies and shakes, like this chocolatey version. Pair with an apple, pear or banana for a heart smart afternoon snack. 16. Baked Potato Getty Images This steakhouse classic is a great pick for your heart—just skip the butter and keep the skin on. A medium baked potato (265 calories) offers 4mg of niacin to help you meet your daily needs. 17. Roasted Pumpkin Seed Salad Dressing Frances Largeman-Roth / TODAY Don't just enjoy these tasty seeds in the fall! Pumpkin seeds offer plenty of niacin and can be used in so many ways, like in this flavorful and easy to make dressing. Calcium We usually think about calcium for keeping our bones strong, but it also plays a role in heart health. Calcium, along with potassium and magnesium, helps to regulate blood pressure. And the nutrient also plays a role in weight management, which is smart for your heart. Calcium-rich foods include milk, yogurt, cottage cheese and other dairy products, almonds, fortified orange juice and kale. Enjoy these calcium-rich recipes: 18. Healthy Banana and Cottage Cheese Pancakes Nathan Congleton / TODAY Cottage cheese is delicious topped with fresh fruit, but it's also a wonderful addition to these tasty pancakes, adding calcium, as well as protein. 19. The Dr. Is in Smoothie Frances Largeman-Roth Start your day with this heart smart, plant-based smoothie that balances the earthy notes of kale and watercress with naturally sweet banana and grapes. 20. Coconut, Cherry and Almond Granola Vallery Lomas / Courtesy of Vallery Lomas Granola has gotten a bad rap because store-bought version are often too high in added sugar and oils. But when you make it yourself, you can control what's in it. This one is easy to make and is delicious over yogurt or mixed into high fiber cereal. Fiber While it's not a nutrient, fiber is an essential part of the diet, and one that most of us aren't getting enough of. We should be getting 25-34 grams daily, but hectic schedules and processed foods leave us falling short. But fiber's impact on heart health—and overall health--should make us all want to start adding more of it to our diets. Fiber helps us to feel full, improves digestion, boosts gut health and also helps to lower cholesterol. You'll get fiber from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pulses, and nuts and seeds. Here are some recipes that will help you meet your daily goal: 21. Oatmeal with Pear and Almonds Frances Largeman-Roth Start your day with this fiber-packed breakfast. Oats contain a type of fiber called beta-glucan, which helps to lower LDL (bad cholesterol). The pear and almonds also contribute fiber. 22. Roasted Chicken Thighs over Barley Zucchini Risotto Real Housemoms Whole grain barley also contains beta-glucan and makes a hearty and satisfying risotto. 23. Four-Spice Pear, Apple and Blackberry Crisp Shauna Server Three high-fiber fruits combine in this delicious and healthy crisp. 24. Rainbow Quinoa Bowl Nathan Congleton / TODAY This bowl has it all! The ancient grain quinoa, plus colorful veggies, and chickpeas—all fiber stars!
