Basic Ceviche
Super light and refreshing. I use this easy ceviche recipe without the fish (reduce the lime juice) as a topper for grilled tuna. Serves 4 as a lunch, 8 as an appetizer.
Pecan Chicken Salad with Apples and Grapes
This pecan chicken salad with apples and grapes can be made with rotisserie chicken, or you can make your own roasted chicken. The fruit brings a little sweetness, and the celery and pecans give great texture. This chicken salad is right at home on a croissant for lunch, or on a bed of lettuce with a side of cantaloupe for brunch.
Aush (Afghani Chili)
Aush is a delicious alternative to American-style chili. It's not too spicy but combines intriguing flavors. I adapted this recipe from a traditional Afghani family favorite. It may be cooked in a slow cooker, Dutch oven, or soup pot. Try it also with ground lamb or ground turkey.
