Cooking Method: Sautéing
Crispy Salt-and-Vinegar Potatoes
My family loves anything salt & vinegar flavored. These Crispy Salt-and-Vinegar Potatoes are first boiled in vinegar to infuse the flavor into the potato. Then they are drained, dried and sautéed in a pan to achieve crispiness and doused with more vinegar. What's wrong with that? Nothing.

Basmati & Wild Rice with Chickpeas, Currants & Herbs
Another recipe from the Jerusalem cookbook - Basmati & Wild Rice with Chickpeas, Currants & Herbs. It's absolutely delicious and can be served warm or at room temperature. It can be difficult to find dried currants in the US, so I used dried cranberries, which worked well. Oh, and did I mention the crispy fried onions on top?

Creamy, Cheesy Chipotle Chicken
A chipotle is a smoke-dried jalapeño. You can buy chipotles in a can with adobo sauce, which has chipotles that are stewed in a sauce with tomatoes, garlic, vinegar, salt, and spices. The first time I made tortilla soup, I used a whole can of chipotles! The recipe called for one canned chipotle. Let's just say it was smoking hot soup!!!
This Creamy, Cheesy Chipotle Chicken has a great smoky flavor and is cheesy and comforting. It's easy to make and perfect for a dinner after a busy day.
