Panna Cotta With Fresh Strawberry Sauce
This panna cotta with fresh strawberry sauce recipe is my version of the Italian dessert favorite. "Panna cotta" literally means "cooked cream." I made it for my husband to take to a work function, and they loved it! They send him home with a request for it every year now! I created a simple strawberry sauce to accompany it. It really makes the dish!
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.
