Curry Braised Chicken Wings
While fried chicken wings are delicious; Braised chicken wings are totally slept on. This is a take on a dish my grandmother makes but instead of a soybean-based sauced, I opted for Japanese curry roux blocks which make for an easy, delicious braising liquid turned sauce.
Black-Eyed Pea Gumbo
A new take on the black-eyed pea tradition for New Year’s Day. This vegan black-eyed pea gumbo is an excellent substitution for plain ole boiled ones. Plus, who wouldn’t want a nice, healing bowl of gumbo on a cold December evening?
Jamaican Chicken Curry
This recipe was inspired by Raiz Phillips’ beautiful book, West Winds: Recipes, History, and Tales from Jamaica. If you want more of an insightful look into the perspective of the Jamaican diaspora, I highly recommend reading Phillips’ book.
Sicilian Fish Stew with Garlic Aioli
Think of this as the lighter, less expensive version of cioppino, the stew that was created by Italian immigrants in San Francisco, California. It’s perfect for your upcoming beach dinner party! Serve with a crispy, white wine from Italy like Vermentino.
