Name: Slaw-Filled Pickled Peppers
Ingredients: 12 medium-sized green peppers; 1 pound cabbage; 1/2 teaspoon powdered cloves; 4 teaspoons salt; 4 teaspoons celery seed; 3 tablespoons mustard seed; 4 teaspoons cinnamon; 3 quarts cider vinegar; 3 cups sugar

Ingredients

12 medium-sized green peppers

1 pound cabbage

1/2 teaspoon powdered cloves

4 teaspoons salt

4 teaspoons celery seed

3 tablespoons mustard seed

4 teaspoons cinnamon

3 quarts cider vinegar

3 cups sugar

Preparation

Cut a 1/2" slice from the stem end of the peppers and reserve. Carefully remove and discard seeds. Cover the peppers with well-salted cold water and let stand overnight. The next day, drain the peppers. Chop the cabbage fine, and mix with cloves, salt, celery seed, mustard seed and cinnamon. Fill the peppers with this mixture, replace end slices and tie in place. Place the peppers upright in a crock or large jars. Bring the vinegar and sugar to a boil and pour over the peppers. Place a plate or lid on top of the peppers, weight the plate, and cover the crock. Leave in a cool place for 3 weeks before using so that the flavors have time to mellow.

Recipe notes

Pickle Coleslaw

Creamy, vinegary, and with lots of fresh dill.

Smothered Italian Sausage

This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

Fufu

Fufu is a dish that has been passed down through many generations and is seen as a symbol of Ghanaian identity and heritage. Making fufu traditionally is a very laborious task; this recipe mimics some of that hard work but with a few home-cook hacks that make for a far easier time.

Eggplant Roasted in Satay Sauce

Among the top tier of sauces is Indonesian satay sauce, because it is the embodiment of joy and life. In fact, this sauce is also trustworthy and highly respectful of whatever it comes into contact with—perhaps it is, in fact, the perfect friend?

Île Flottante

Originally called omelette à la neige (snow omelet) in reference to the fluffy snow-like appearance of the meringue, île flottante (floating island) has a lengthy history that dates back to the 17th century.

Crispy Oyster Mushroom Skewers With Bok Choy Salad

Oyster mushrooms are a strong all-rounder in the kitchen, seeming to straddle both plant and meat worlds in what they look and taste like when cooked. Here they’re coated in a marinade my mother used to use when cooking Chinese food at home—honey, soy, garlic and ginger—and roasted until golden, crisp, and juicy.

Black Rice Pudding

Turn inky black rice into a dreamy coconut milk pudding you’re fully authorized to enjoy for breakfast or dessert.

Fattoush Salad With Lemon-Sumac Dressing

Every salad should have pita chips.
