Lamb Adovada with Chipotle Chile Sauce & Carmelized Corn
Here is wonderful recipe from the new cookbook from the Sante Fe School of Cooking. "Guests at the school are surprised how much they like this lamb and confess to enjoying more lamb since their discovery. It works well for a dinner party because it is elegant, but you can get the rub on the lamb in the morning and there isn't a lot of last-minute preparation." - from Southwest Flavors by Susan Curtis and Nicole Curtis Ammerman.
Spice-Rubbed Grilled Leg of Lamb with Orange & Basil Salsa
This recipe for grilled lamb is a wonderfully aromatic and flavorful dish. The mild spiciness of the lamb pairs very well with the fruitiness of the orange & basil salsa.
Most recipes for grilled leg lamb call for deboning the leg beforehand. I find that you lose a lot of flavor this way and it is much better to grill the leg as is, removing the meat afterwards.
Aztec Style Pork Chops
You’ve got to give the Aztecs credit for chipotles – they are the spicy, subtly smoky red jalapenos that give this recipe a super punch. The honey and cinnamon pair beautifully with the pork and serve to make for a lacquered brown on the outside of the chops. You are set here with spice for a very healthy entrée. I like these served with spiced steamed spinach and whipped sweet potatoes – special enough for company.
Chile-Seared Salmon with Sweet Pear Pineapple Salsa
"Chiles love salmon - they add just the right accent to flavor the salmon to its greatest dimension. Fruity salsas, spiked with chiles, adds just the right complement." Jane Butel from her cookbook Real Women Love Chiles.

Chicken with Prosciutto and Gruyere Cheese with Apple-Pomegranate Relish
A Swedish favorite, falukorv is a lightly smoked, thick (two to three inches in diameter), boiled sausage, similar to ring bologna. This chicken recipe uses cheese, mustard, and apples to re-create the flavors of this classic sausage dish.
Michael Chiarello's Pea-And-Potato Ravioloni with Sage Brown Butter
Tender peas are typically the first spring vegetable to appear in Northern California. As much as we locals would like winter to be over, when peas arrive, we are still in a shoulder season between winter and spring. By pairing a winter-satisfying potato with the first kiss of spring, you and your guests will be able to celebrate both. - Michael Chiarello
Cornbread Crusted Pork Chops with Spicy Peach & Corn Salsa
Don't throw away that leftover cornbread! Cornbread makes an excellent coating for meats. It has an earthy sweetness and crunchiness that is just sublime when fried. Freshly made cornbread is also suitable for this recipe.
Peach and corn salsa make a wonderful accompaniment to this recipe for cornbread crusted pork chops. A variety of textures and flavors make this a true delight.
Persian Chicken with Pomegranates, Pine Nuts, & Grapefruit Yogurt
This recipe is loosely based on the traditional Persian dish, Faisinjan. Classically made with duck or wild birds, this recipe uses the more available chicken. Pomegranates, pine nuts, and yogurt are all Middle Eastern staples whose flavors marry very well in this dish.
BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Apple Chutney
Sometimes you just need good old comfort food. Pulled pork takes a long time to cook, but it's well worth the wait. Juicy, tender pork melts in your mouth. Rich, tangy barbecue sauce and spicy apple chutney create a wonderful taste sensation. Messy, fatty, and rich. Good stuff!
Blackened Salmon with Chipotle Squash Puree and Mango Rice
A little spicy, a little sweet, this recipe combines some of my fall favorites. Fresh and earthy butternut squash pairs perfectly with salmon. Sweet, tangy mangos cut through the smoky, spicy chipotles to create a dish that is exciting and challenging yet well-balanced.

Susanna Foo's Roasted Five-Spice Pork Tenderloin
"Jalapeno peppers, coriander seeds, and five-spice powder give this marinade a lively fragrant note. It penetrates the meat, contributing character and a bold, sweet-tangy flavor. If I have fresh coriander seeds on hand, I use them in place of dried. Serve with Pickled Napa Cabbage or Cranberry-Ginger Relish." - Susanna Foo
