South African Chutney Chicken
South African Chutney Chicken is a popular and easy-to-make dish that combines the savory flavor of chicken with the sweet and tangy taste of chutney. It's considered a classic South African comfort food. While various types of chutney can be used (mango, peach, hot, etc.), Mrs. Ball's Chutney is often cited as the most traditional and iconic choice in South Africa.

Polish Hunter’s Stew (Bigos)

Cacio e Pepe Brussels Sprouts
Cacio e Pepe Brussels Sprouts offer a twist on the classic Roman pasta dish, replacing the noodles with crispy, flavorful Brussels sprouts. Cacio e Pepe translates to "cheese and pepper" in Italian. The slight bitterness of the Brussels sprouts provides a counterpoint to the richness and saltiness of the cheese, creating a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than if you were simply eating cheese and pepper on their own.

Deviled Potatoes
With egg prices soaring, I decided to try these Deviled Potatoes. Instead of hard-boiled eggs, small potatoes were halved and baked until tender before being gently hollowed. The scooped-out potato flesh was then combined with mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, and a blend of seasonings to create a creamy filling. This mixture was carefully spooned back into the potato shells and topped with crispy chopped bacon and fresh parsley. My only regret? Not tripling the recipe. They were such a hit that they vanished in a flash.

Balsamic Salmon
I have 88 salmon recipes on this site and I have to say this Balsamic Salmon is my absolute favorite. It was so good that we made it again the next day. The key to this truly outstanding balsamic salmon is the reduction. By gently simmering balsamic vinegar, you evaporate water, which concentrates its natural sugars and acids. This creates a syrupy, sweet, and tangy thick sauce that clings beautifully to the salmon.
