Nectarine Salsa
A refreshingly sweet and tangy blend. Especially good when cooked on the grill and served with a mild fish such as tilapia. If you are grilling fish, the salsa can be cooked on the grill at the same time and served over the fillets.
Chef John's Poached Eggs
Here's a new and improved version of our poached egg method. Nothing too complicated here, we pretty much poach eggs like everybody else, except we've got a little step in the middle of the recipe that makes it easier if you're doing this for a larger group.
Pork, Sauerkraut and Dumplings
Pork roast and kraut slow-cooked and served with dumplings and sauerkraut 'gravy.' This recipe was from my mother's very German family. She always served it with mashed potatoes, creamed peas, and applesauce. Sometimes she baked the roast and kraut separately. We always have this on New Year's Day. I usually double the recipe for the dumplings. My mother didn't make hers with beer, but I have added this over the years to taste.
