Duck Confit With Spicy Pickled Raisins

An espresso-and-cumin-spiked rub (or brine) gives this smoked chicken impressive flavor.

Berbere is a spicy chile blend that has floral and sweet notes from coriander and cardamom, and when it’s paired with a honey glaze, it sets these wings apart from anything else you’ve ever had.

A pinch of sugar in the spice rub ensures picture-perfect grill marks with layers of flavor.

This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!

This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

We don’t bake with grapes as often as we should. But even the most average supermarket varieties come alive when roasted with a bit of sugar and seasoning.

Put these out at a gathering, and we guarantee you’ll be hearing rave reviews for a long time.
