Pearl Onion

A pot roast so good you have to pull your kid out of school early, just to make sure it gets into the oven in enough time to cook. Now that's an endorsement.

These dill seed–scented pickles would be a great snack at any point in the year, but the recipe stands the test of time as a Thanksgiving appetizer.

These sweet and very tangy neon pickles pair best with grilled meats, stews, and braises.

Seek out a tortilleria for fresh corn tortillas if possible; it makes a difference.

In this hearty, velvety stew, chicken slowly braises in red wine with bacon, mushrooms, and a touch of enriching cocoa powder.

Brushing the underside of the dough with egg wash for this pot pie recipe creates an airtight seal so that steam will push the pastry lids into a dramatic dome during baking.

These bright zesty pickles are equally at home in a cocktail as they are in a salad, with pâté, or as part of a cured meats and cheese board.

You know how sometimes the meat is dry and there's not enough gravy? We fixed that by braising dark meat in a robust pan sauce. Ta-da!

Sweet, tender pearl onions are the star of this reimagined classic, which gets an elegant update with fennel, citrus, and Parm.

This version of the classic martini variation relies on gin, blanc vermouth, dry vermouth, and onion pickling liquid. The trickiest part of the recipe is preparing the pickled onions that are added as a garnish, but the effort is well worth it. 

This black bean spread gets a hint of unexpected sweetness from the ground fennel seeds. Traditional Mexican dishes often use dried avocado leaf, which has a similar flavor. Try the spread as a base for tostadas or nachos, or serve with chips for dipping.

Aromatic spices and tangy yogurt give great flavor to this quick riff on the Indian classic.

Our best-ever chicken stock begins with wings, which have a high skin-to-meat ratio. Browning the wings results in lots of caramelized nooks and crannies that imbue the stock with a deep, savory flavor.

Treat this as a weekend project (quick it's not) and your Sunday supper will be off the charts.

Rotisserie chicken and store-bought puff pastry make quick work of this comforting kale- and squash-stuffed pot pie.
