Marvelous Mongolian Meatballs
My meatball recipe inspired by Chef John's Mongolian Pork Chops is absolutely delicious. A wonderful recipe for a party. Serve them as an appetizer with toothpicks, and they will disappear before your eyes. They can also make a meal sandwiched in a hero or over a bed of pasta.
Peach and Mango Habanero Chicken Thighs
These peach mango habanero chicken thighs are dry-seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic, and onion, then brushed with a habanero-mango hot sauce combined with peach preserves as they finish baking. The recommended mango habanero sauce is very spicy, so use as much or as little as you need to find the heat you like.
