Natalie Chanin & Butch Anthony
"Burnt" Carrots and Parsnips
Got some burned bits? Great job! The natural sugars in the root vegetables, along with the brown sugar, will caramelize, giving you a little bitterness to counter all that sweetness.
Sour Cream Biscuits With Sausage Gravy
Repeatedly folding and rolling the biscuit dough yields lots of flaky, individuated layers that pull apart neatly when you eat them.
Buttery Cayenne Pecans
The low oven temp and long bake time allow these nuts to take on rich flavor without burning.
Roast Chickens and Sausages for a Crowd
One of the centerpieces of Butch Anthony's outdoor dining room is a massive firepit-grill outfitted with vintage Dutch ovens, which were buried in embers to cook these chickens. We've adapted the method for a regular oven.
Whole Wheat-Apple Crisp
Whole wheat flour gives this brown sugar–oat topping a nutty flavor that perfectly complements the sweet-tart apples beneath.
Hardy Greens With Lemon-Garlic Vinaigrette
Be on the lookout for collards with smaller, tender leaves. If using more mature bunches, cut into thin ribbons instead of tearing.
Roasted-Jalapeno Pimiento Cheese Toasts
Pretty much everyone in the South fights about who's got the best pimiento cheese recipe. Make these if you want to put the debate to rest.
