Angie’s Chilaquiles

My friend Angie made these Chilaquiles last week and it's all I could think about. It's a fantastic recipe that she made up. You can also use the sauce for huevos rancheros. Chilaquiles is a traditional Mexican dish. Typically, corn tortillas are cut in quarters lightly fried and topped with green or red salsa. Usually, chilaquiles are eaten at breakfast or brunch. This makes them a popular recipe to use leftover tortillas and salsas.

Roasted Chicken Breasts with Grapes and Sherry Vinegar

Roasted Chicken Breasts with Grapes and Sherry Vinegar is very tangy and flavorful. Sherry vinegar is made from sherry wine, which is produced in the Jerez (Xérès or Sherry) denomination of origin in southwestern Spain. The unusual thing about the vinegar (and the wine) is that it’s aged and blended so that younger vinegar picks up the characteristics of the older vinegar: complex, harmonious, deep, rich, nutty, slightly sweet, and very sharp. Sherry vinegar has no true substitute.

Shrimp with Miso Butter

Years ago, David Chang of Momofuku created a fantastic compound butter using miso paste. It’s very versatile and can be melted on fish, chicken, or steak (lots of umami); on asparagus, broccoli, or carrots; or drizzled on a baked sweet potato (or a regular baked potato). This Miso Butter Shrimp is and marriage made in heaven. The shrimp is tossed in a buttery umami bath. I always have miso paste in the refrigerator. From seafood to vegetables, miso butter adds a depth of flavor that’s simply irresistible.
