Tequila adds noticeable zing to this quick ch,li . To For a quicker pork Chili, we chose grollnd pork
ma ke sure the flavor 01 the tequila did not get lost instead of large pieces of pork. Cooking the pork

amidst the bold spices. we "dded some at the begin'

more at the end to allow its flavor to shine, Lime zest
and juice also help to punch up the flavo r s.

rather than adding 1t to the ch,1i raw allowed it to
fi r m IlP and hold Its shape better, giVing us hea r ty

the "o r k was already tender. our chili needed only a
20·mlnute s,m m er to allow the flavor s to meld ,

our d,esstnljl. To contrast these bright flavors, we
introduced sto,e·boU9ht broccoli slaw-marinated

roasted red peppers provided the perfect bIg. bold
flavor for a simple no·cook ~uce. All we had to do
was nnse them fi rsl to wash away any off'flavors
from the brinlng liqUid before choppong them. For
a btlght. balanced ~uce. we processed the pep-
pers """th plenty of fresh parsley. Parmesan, shal-
lot. thyme, lind gartic. along with a good amount
of extra·vrrgin olive OIL After combinIng our richly
flavored (lind colored) sauce wrth tt.e coolced pasta.

for more flavor, we paired it With tangy goat cheese.

 :'C.lt .Ji.dawr :Iip : A AEINVENTEO CLASSIC
Homemade bUllernut SqU;1sh ravioli is more effort
than we ca.e to ex~nd on an average weeknight.
so we dec.ded to put /I new SPin on this b.Uro
classic by using store'bought ,,,viol[ and crea t ing
a s.mple sauce with the squash in a starr ing role.
Since we love the pairing of sweet butternut squash
and p"ncella. we started by sauteing $O~ pancetta
and us.ng the rendered fat to cook Ihe Squash.
Ad-ding a lillie sugar b rought out the squash's
sweet, nutty notes Chicken b roth alone proved too
oYl'rpOw erlng fa, the sauce, so we combined it w.th
water. Just before serving. we stirred In the crisp
PanCella, a pile of grated Parmesan, and a spn t z
of lemon jUice Chopped walnuts , spr inkled OVer
Individual servings, offe,ed even more c runch to this
pasta dish that Is sure to please

The key here was to roast them gill side down to
allow any moili!u.e .eleased during cooking to drain

A T-bone or porterhOuse steak Is really two steaks In
one: on one side of the bone there;s II nIcely moo.bled
strip steak while on the other side of the bone IM.e
is II small, lean tenderloin steak. The trick. then, is to
•
get both perfectly cooked with well-sell'eo crust and
medlum-'lIre interior. Using II two-level fire is crucial
here ,n order 10 creale cooklO9 zones with dlHerent
levels of heal. To gel II good sear, you start the steilk
on the hal SIde. but then move it to t he cool side to
cook th.ough. To prevent the httle tenderloin from
overcooking. you use the steak's centrally loc1lted
bone as a he1lt shield , and always 11IY the tenderlo,n
towllrds the coole. side of the grill.

To achieve eYenly cooked end lightly ct-.arred kebabs,
we found thet it was impottant to rotate them fre,
quently. This enwred thaI all sides of Ihe kebabs
cooked at the same rille and IMI all areas were
equally expo500 to di rect hellt. We also found lhat
the extra fat In chicken thighs made them a gfeal
choice for OUr ke babs and helped them wlthstilnd
the inlense heat of the g,,11 and rema,n tender lind
ju,cy. Tossing lhe chicken In a combination of olive

by reserving a POttlon of Ihls IT,..ture. we were able

Skewered chicken c~n otten turn dry and chalky on
the grill. As 'or the flavor, t~t'5 usually subpar, too.
becauw by the tIme the b"rbecue flavOf develops,

well-susoned chicken with holl-on barbecued Il/wO!",
lind 'ast. To give us a head start on the '~vor, we
toned boo!!'"s chicken thigh pf«fl In ~on pasle
(mbde by processing bacon In a food processor)
