Mohnstollen (Poppy Seed Stollen)
Mohnstollen is a beautiful poppy seed stollen that's often served at Christmas, and this recipe comes straight from Germany. Freshly ground poppy seeds taste best — in Germany, you can find special grinders for poppy seeds, but you can also use a mortar and pestle. Don't use a regular spice grinder though, as poppy seeds contain a lot of oil that will clog the grinder.

Learn how to make dirty rice even dirtier with this recipe. Believe it or not, the first place I ever had dirty rice was at Popeyes. I'd never been a huge fan of liver, but after trying dirty rice, I started to crave it with even more "dirt" (liver, pork, and aromatic vegetables). While the traditional method cooks the rice first before "soiling" it, here we add all the "filth" at the beginning and cook it into the rice.
