Mini Ham Loaves
These mini ham loaves are a family favorite. My aunt used to make them every Easter. The recipe comes from an old church cookbook. Whenever I order meat from the local meat market, I order ground ham and pork premixed. I order triple the required meat, packaged into three packages. I give one to my mother, use one, and freeze one to use later. Serve these loaves with horseradish.
Chef John's Braised Lamb Shanks
You don't often see lamb cooked with these spices, but they work together wonderfully in Chef John's braised lamb shanks recipe. The final plate ended up being a sort of North African-Central American fusion, with the fragrantly spiced meat and peppers resting on a simple bed of couscous.
Thumbprint Cookies
These thumbprint cookies with their fruity, jam-filled centers are a Christmas tradition in my family. The cookies are tender, buttery, and coated with chopped walnuts. Use a range of your favorite preserves (like raspberry, apricot, or strawberry) to add variety and color to each batch of cookies.
