Migas Breakfast Skillet with Queso Fresco

Tex-mex · 25 min · vegetarian

Ingredients & steps ↓
  • 8 eggs
  • 5 corn tortillas

  • 1 jalapeno
  • 2 roma tomatoes
  • 4 oz queso fresco, crumbled
  • 3 oz shredded Monterey Jack
  • 3 tbsp neutral oil

Miso-Maple Glazed Delicata Squash

Miso-Maple Glazed Delicata Squash

American · 45 min · vegetarian, gluten-free

Ingredients & steps ↓
  • 4 medium delicata squash
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/3 cup roasted salted pepitas

  3. Whisk the miso, maple syrup, melted butter, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes into a smooth glaze.
  4. Pour the glaze over the squash, toss on the pans to coat, and roast 6 to 8 more minutes until the glaze is bubbling and lacquered — watch the edges, maple moves fast from burnished to burnt.
  5. Pile onto a platter and shower with the pepitas and thinly sliced scallions. Serve warm or at room temperature — it holds beautifully, which is exactly what a holiday side should do.

Mushroom Stroganoff With Buttered Wide Noodles

Mushroom Stroganoff With Buttered Wide Noodles

American · 35 min · vegetarian

Ingredients & steps ↓
  • 2 lb cremini mushrooms
  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 7 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • to taste paprika, salt, pepper, parsley
  1. Quarter the mushrooms and cook them in 3 tablespoons of the butter in a wide skillet over high heat, undisturbed at first, until they release their liquid and it boils away, 10 to 12 minutes.
  2. Keep going until the mushrooms squeak against the pan and are browned all over; this is where the flavor comes from.
  3. Add the onion and remaining butter and cook until soft and golden, 6 minutes.
  4. Stir in the flour and paprika and cook 2 minutes so the flour toasts rather than tastes pasty.
  5. Pour in the broth, whisking, and simmer until the sauce thickens enough to coat the mushrooms, 4 minutes.
  6. Boil the noodles until just tender, drain, and toss with a knob of butter to keep them loose.
  7. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the sour cream, heavy cream and mustard; boiling now would curdle it.

Mushroom Swiss Burger with Caramelized Onions

Mushroom Swiss Burger with Caramelized Onions

American · 55 min · beef · high-protein

Ingredients & steps ↓
  • 1.5 lb ground chuck, 80/20
  • 10 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 4 brioche buns
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  1. Cook the onions in 2 tbsp butter over medium-low with a pinch of salt for 25 to 30 minutes until deep brown and sweet, deglazing with a splash of water whenever they stick. Set aside.
  2. In the same pan over medium-high, cook the mushrooms in the remaining butter in a single layer, undisturbed for 4 minutes, then stir and cook 4 more until browned. Add the garlic and thyme leaves for the last minute and season.
  3. Form four loose 6-oz patties with a dimple in the center and salt the outsides only.
  4. Heat a cast-iron skillet to medium-high, about 425F. Cook the patties 4 minutes on the first side, flip, and cook 3 to 4 minutes more to an internal 160F, which is the food-safe temperature for any ground beef.
  5. Pile mushrooms and onions onto each patty, lay a slice of Swiss over the top, add a tablespoon of water to the far side of the pan and cover for 45 seconds — the steam melts the cheese without overcooking the beef.
  6. Toast the buns, spread with mayonnaise, and build. Rest 3 minutes so the juices settle.

Mustard-Crusted Pork Roast with Braised Red Cabbage

Mustard-Crusted Pork Roast with Braised Red Cabbage

American · 130 min · pork · low-carb, high-protein

Ingredients & steps ↓
  • 4 1/2 lb boneless pork loin roast
  • 1/4 cup whole grain mustard
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp caraway seed
  • 1/2 tsp ground allspice
  • 3 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 large head (about 3 lb) red cabbage
  • 2 apples
  • 1 red onion
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  1. Heat the oven to 375F. Pat the pork loin dry and season all over with salt and pepper.
  2. Stir together the house caraway-allspice mustard crust: both mustards, the caraway seed (lightly crushed), allspice, 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar, and the grated garlic. Slather it thickly over the top and sides of the roast.
  3. Set the roast on a rack in a roasting pan and roast 75 to 90 minutes, until the crust is burnished and an instant-read thermometer hits 145F in the center. Pork at 145F is juicy and faintly blush — that's correct, not underdone.
  4. While the pork roasts, melt the butter in a Dutch oven over medium. Soften the sliced red onion 4 minutes, then add the shredded cabbage, sliced apples, cider vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar, ground cloves, 1/2 cup water, and a teaspoon of salt.
  5. Cover and braise the cabbage on low 50 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until silky and deep magenta; finish uncovered a few minutes to cook off excess liquid.
  6. Rest the roast 15 minutes before carving — carving early pours the juice onto the board instead of keeping it in the meat.
  7. Slice thick, and serve over the braised cabbage with any board juices and crust bits spooned on top.
