Orange Braised Ham
A ham glistening with spicy orange glaze makes a deceptively dramatic dish, especially considering how simple it is to make. Cutting a diamond pattern into the skin takes just minutes and cooks into an elegant finish.
Maple-Braised Pork Chop
With its sweet-and-tangy combination of flavors, this popular home-style recipe from New England is a cousin to the well-loved barbecued or pulled pork of the American South.
Jambalaya with Shrimp, Chicken, and Ham
All three lay claim to the origins of this quintessential Creole concoction that combines chicken and seafood with rice and assorted seasonings.
Indian Chickpea Curry
Known in India as chana masala, this classic stew of chickpeas can be enjoyed as a side dish or accompanied by rice pilaf as a vegetarian main course.
Chicken Korma
One of the richest-tasting, yet mildest curries, this northern Indian specialty is beloved for its creamy sauce, which includes puréed cashew nuts. Serve with steamed white rice to soak up the sauce.
