Pecan-Crusted Chicken with Celeriac-Parsnip Smash and Lemon-Mustard Mixed Greens
If you prefer a smoother consistency, by all means, purée the cooked celeriac and parsnips in a food processor.
Cajun Jumble-laya Stoup
This jumble is a lot like jambalaya, so I call it a Jumble-laya. This is one of those flexible recipes. You can substitute turkey or tender cuts of pork and beef for the chicken. Go all seafood by bumping up the amount of shrimp and adding crabmeat at the end to just heat it through. Andouille sausage is a spicy, smoky sausage with a flavor that packs a punch. It is used in Cajun-style food and is a staple in gumbo and jambalaya. Is okra not your thing? Substitute frozen defrosted French-cut green beans.
Chicken Kiev Burgers and Russian-Style Slaw Salad
The herbed butter in the center of the burger adds great flavor and tons of moisture and is a good-time, exploding centerpiece to this fast and simple meal.
