Hanger Steak with Dandelion, Arugula, and Grana Padano

This salad has spicy, bitter, sturdy leaves that won’t wilt like some mixed greens out of a plastic clamshell.

Lamb Stew with Fennel, Preserved Lemon, and Crispy Fried Bread

Dollops of sour cream and sprinkles of herbs are great, but never underestimate the power of salty preserved lemons and spicy, crispy bread.

Pork and Red Chile Stew with Tomatillos

While this may not be a true posole you can, and should, still garnish it like one, piling your bowl high with shredded cabbage, coins of thinly sliced radish, and tons and tons of fresh lime.

Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder with Garlic, Citrus, and Cilantro

Because I don’t really love braised, shredded meat, I think this large, flavorful, fatty cut of meat is best slow cooked, then sliced when it’s just tender enough.

Crispy Chicken Legs with Rosemary, Tiny Potatoes, and Sour Cream

As the chicken slow cooks, the fat melts into the oil and infuses with garlic and rosemary, leaving you with something so delicious that it’s basically worth its weight in gold.

Paprika-Rubbed Sheet-Pan Chicken with Lemon

The low-and-slow treatment ensures that none of the spices or bits of garlic burn, while giving the chicken fat plenty of time to render out slowly and evenly.

Cumin Lamb Chops with Charred Scallions and Peanuts

While I’d be perfectly happy with this plate of lamb chops for dinner, serving it alongside some steamed rice or a few pieces of flatbread to sop up all the juices would also be a good idea.

Vinegar-Braised Chicken with Farro and Watercress

“This chicken-in-a-bag is so good, she should sell it on the street.”

Perfect Steak with Buttered Radish Toast

A pretty good (dare I say mandatory) move here is to take any remaining radishes and dip them into the meat juices from the pan. This is called “a radish snack”

Fennel-Rubbed Pork Chops for Two

Larger chops, whether pork or steak, are fattier and richer in flavor than thinner chops and are also nearly impossible to overcook.

Impostor al Pastor

This is the kind of low-maintenance dinner you can pull out on a Sunday (really!), when the four people who were supposed to come over turn into fourteen people.

Skillet Chicken with Crushed Olives and Sumac
