Nothing conjures memories of special times with family more than when I'm making a batch of Grandma's Homemade Kolaches. They take a little TLC, but they are so worth it. Make sure to let the dough double in size, once in a lightly oiled bowl, and then again once the pastries have been formed. Pastry perfection.
Recipe video above. A 3-hour lamb shoulder is great. A 12-hour lamb shoulder is better! The meat is even more succulent because a lower cooking temperature means less moisture loss, and better flavour infusion from the rub. The sauce is a Lamb Jus made using the braising juices so it has phenomenal flavour. Don't be intimidated, it's simple and no more difficult to make than gravy!This is an excellent make-ahead recipe for gatherings. Why? Because you can make up to 4 shoulders in one standard oven. And the room for error is also almost nil; it's almost entirely hands-off cooking that magically takes care of itself overnight. Most importantly, the meat is so juicy it reheats 100% perfectly. I cook it overnight and reheat to serve that evening.About scaling up: 2 shoulders can be cooked in one large pan with no change to cook time. 4 shoulders (2 lambs in 2 pans, on 2 shelves) takes about 14 to 15 hours.

harissa baked chicken meatballs with dried apricots and herbs, served with pearl couscous and a harissa yogurt sauce servings: 4
A useful, no-hassle, chuck-everything-in-together dish, you don’t even need to brown the chicken (though make sure you sprinkle the skin with sea salt flakes, to help it crisp up). Find a dish that has about the right dimensions, to ensure that it works well. Don’t be afraid of assertive seasoning – rice dishes such as this need it – and don’t skip the step where you wash the rice, or it will end up sticky. A bowl of Greek yogurt is good on the side.
I have absolutely nothing planned for dinner...but if I did plan ahead I’d 10000% would have bought the ingredients for my Whole30 rendition of Mongolian beef with seared baby bok choy 🤤 # Instead, I’ve got a lots of veggies, some bacon, canned tuna and all the pantry staples.

Adapted from The New York Times Notes: Plan ahead! This takes time to make and bake and chill — it must chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving. You'll need a 10-inch springform pan for this recipe. Ricotta: You must use whole milk ricotta here. Low-fat will leave the cheesecake with a gritty texture. Calabro brand, sold at Whole Foods, is nice. If you are serving this the same day you are making it, bake it first thing in the morning. As noted above, this can be made a day in advance. Bring to room temperature briefly before serving. Fresh ricotta versus not: Fresh is best. My mother always uses fresh, but keep in mind you will need three pounds, which can get pricey. Most recently I made two using standard grocery store ricotta, and I still thought it was completely delicious, but several commenters have not had success with non-fresh ricotta, so I am advising to use fresh ricotta only here. Cooking times will vary dramatically depending on your oven, the pan you are using for the water bath and what type of fresh ricotta you are using. Start checking at 1 hour and 15 minutes. The cookie crust is more of a cookie dusting than a crust — it melts into the cheesecake making it almost undetectable. It's a subtle touch, but still really nice. Use whatever cookie you like, but I highly recommend the Jules Destrooper butter waffles if you can find them. This is what my mother always uses and what I use now, too. They are made of all good things — flour, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, baking soda — and they are delicious to boot. You also could skip the cookie coating all together for simplicity. If you have a Thermapen (highly recommend!), use it to test the temp of the cheesecake, and remove it when it reads 150-155ºF. I have never done this, but the next time I make this, I'm tempted to skip the water bath, and bake the cake on a rimmed sheet pan at 350ºF for about an hour — I've seen a number of recipes that skip the water bath without issue.

Throw in some garlic and a drizzle of olive oil for flavor and you’ll realize at first bite, that’s amore.
I can't say with certainty that this is authentic because it's a recipe I created. But it uses classic Middle Eastern ingredients, so possibly it is! The lamb is really juicy because it's made with lamb shoulder, a cut that is made for slow cooking. The pan frying step to get the crunchy brown bits is not optional - it's key! ! ! As with any shredded meat recipe, a little goes a long way. This makes around 8 cups of shredded lamb which I think is enough to serve 8 people as a main (with rice). See separate recipe below for Chickpea Pilaf (Rice).
