Red, White, and Blueberry Lemonade
Chef John's vibrant red, white, and blueberry lemonade is a version of our world famous State Fair Lemonade, and this lemonade is incredible, maybe even better than our original. The intense color and berry flavor make it a stunning summer drink.
Peposa Dell'Impruneta (Tuscan Black Pepper Beef)
The story goes that terracotta tile workers in Impruneta, Tuscany, would place this stew into clay pots and cook it in their still-hot kilns overnight where it would be ready in the morning. They used a lot of pepper because the meat was not always top quality. The amount of pepper is up to you--I used a ridiculous amount, but even so it wasn't overpowering.
Margo's Chicken Adobo
Use equal parts vinegar, soy sauce and water. The secret ingredient is cinnamon. This can also be made in the slow cooker: after browning chicken, onion and garlic, transfer to slow cooker, add the rest of the ingredients, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or 4 hours on high.
