Shengdana Chutney (Dry Peanut Chutney)
This is a traditional Maharashtrian dry chutney made from roasted peanuts. It tastes great with chapatis or rotis. The traditional way is to use a mortar and pestle but you can also use spice grinder if you have one.
Chef John's Chocolate Croissants
Making your own chocolate croissants takes a while, but for these crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside pastries, it's time well spent. This recipe was adapted from one by Bruno Albouze, from The Real Deal (which he is). This is actually the quick version in that we're not leaving the dough to rest overnight before laminating with the butter.
Cuban-Style Yellow Rice
Yellow rice is a staple in the Caribbean because of its beautiful color and flavor. Being Cuban, our household often served yellow rice. It's traditional to garnish yellow rice with pimentos, but I don't like them so I don't. Serve yellow rice with Cuban-style roast pork, or add cooked chicken pieces while cooking the rice to make Arroz con Pollo.
