Chef John's Panzanella
The key to this panzanella is frying the bread cubes in loads of olive oil in a skillet, which obviously makes them crispy. But the healthful fat also soaks into the bread cubes and renders them semi-waterproof, or dressing-proof. The same goes for the dusting of Parmesan cheese applied halfway through the crisping process.
Hot Tamale Pie
While this recipe for tamale pie has very little to do with its south-of-the-border namesake, it's really delicious all the same.
Salmon Ceviche
This salmon ceviche recipe calls for thin slices of salmon marinated in lime, garlic, and cilantro for four hours before being served with chips, rice, or tortillas. Fresh ingredients are what make this simple, easy dish amazing. The hardest part of it is the slicing and dicing. With minimal effort and no cooking, you'll get rave reviews. This can just as easily pass for an appetizer in smaller portions.
