Vanilla Berry Parfaits
Delicious and easy, this is a fabulous mix of berries and yogurt! If you like, you can make a thin layer of graham crackers or granola in each vanilla/berry layer. That gives it a little more crunch.
Black Pepper Chicken
This black pepper chicken tastes just like the Chinese takeout favorite, golden-fried chicken in a soy, wine, and black pepper sauce, and served over white rice.
Chef John's Black Lentil Soup
Use black beluga lentils for lentil soup instead of green. There's absolutely nothing wrong with green lentil soup, but once you start using black beluga lentils, you'll have a hard time going back. These beauties cook up melt-in-your-mouth tender but still retain their structural integrity, giving the soup a thick, satisfying body with a light, non-starchy mouthfeel.
