Over the years, the culinary team here at Serious Eats has covered a lot of ground in the stewing department. Beyond developing delicious recipes, we’ve done our best to explore the science behind stewing beef, from conducting experiments to determine the best way to brown beef to finding out whether marinating meat before stewing is…
Like eggs, butter, and cream, yogurt is one of those incredibly versatile, easy-to-love dairy productsâit can go on pretty much anything, and it can be used in sweet and savory cooking applications alike. But there’s regular ol’ yogurt, the kind made by fermenting milk for four to 12 hours, and then there’s Greek yogurtâthe kind…
There’s a dish for every mood, but sometimes an easy pasta recipe is exactly what you need. Sure, every now and then we love spending hours lingering over a perfect slow-cooked red sauce or hearty lasagna Napoletana, but there are also days when you need to get dinner on the table fast. For a delicious…
Weâre halfway through January, and if thereâs one thing our team here on the East Coast has been forced to come to terms with, itâs that weâre in for a looong, cold winter. The best way to make it through? Whipping up some cozy and comforting dishes. Weâre talking chicken and dumplings, multiple saucy vegetarian…
When I first moved to New York City, I pretty much lived on rice bowls. It’s not just that they were easy to prepare, though that definitely didn’t hurt. These simple bowls of porridge, protein over rice, and perfectly balanced curry were just the thing when I was feeling homesick or couldn’t find the energy…
If you’ve been looking at your shopping cart and wondering “where’s the beef?” you’re not alone. Steak may not be in everyone’s budget these days, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a luxurious boeuf Bourguignon or smoky slices of barbecued beef when you’ve got an affordable cut like beef chuck sitting at the meat…
Having grown up appreciating the value of eating the whole animalâwhether it was a pig or a fish, we always ate it head to tailâI know I’m not likely to abandon eating meat and seafood anytime soon. Frankly, being a carnivore is practically in my DNA, and the idea of never sinking my teeth into…
Don’t get me wrong, I love meat. But there are some days when eating it can feel a little too heavy, and there are others when I just don’t want to be bothered cooking it. Those days happen at least once or twice a week, so I find myself browsing for easy vegetarian dinner recipes…
We all have those days when we want a ridiculously delicious meal, but we don’t want to put much effort into itâespecially when it comes to the clean up afterwards. There are plenty of dishes that come together in one pot or pan (either on the stove or in the oven), from soup, to rice…
I’ve lived in California nearly a year, and one of the best things about it is affordable avocados. They’ve become a fixture of my diet, and I use them in all sorts of dishes. Creamy and buttery, there are few things that avocado doesn’t make better. Often, I’ll use it as a garnish, but avocado…
While I normally like to plan meals ahead of each week, December was easily a month of me eating whatever was in sightâno plan, just vibes. It was a lot of sweets, it was a lot of savory snacks, and it was a hell of a lot of meat. And there is nothing wrong with…
Despite dutifully making out a list every week, I’m the type of grocery shopper who can easily get distracted by salesâparticularly specials in the produce aisle. Invariably, I’ll find myself with a ginormous head of Napa cabbage or eight bell peppers and wonder what the heck to do with them. Okay, half the cabbage usually…
