While comfort food is welcome all year round, in winter, it's the ultimate way to combat darker days and cold weather. Here are 7 winter recipes to try this winter:
The rich, cheesy filling is packed with sweet cubes of butternut squash and savory shallots, and lightened by the acidity of the sherry vinegar and brightness of the lemon zest.
Enlivened with snappy kernels of sweet corn, pungent onion, and fruity jalapeño, gooey pasta dish gets extra richness from mayonnaise and a pinch of sugar.
A slow-simmered, rich and savory tonkotsu broth is the base for this ramen that is rich from the meltingly tender chashu pork and soft-boiled egg and brightened by pickled mushrooms.
A mix of citrus, buttery olives, and spicy, oil-packed chiles punches up the flavor of braised chicken leg quarters. Toasted fennel seeds and dry sherry add a pleasant warmth to the sauce.
Garlic oil enriches the soup's aroma, harmonizing well with a potent ginger and turmeric base, delivering both earthy flavors and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Be sure to use a high-quality cheddar; it's crucial to the dish's flavor. Choose a yellow cheese for the richest color. For a chunkier soup, skip the pureeing and just break up some of the potato with a spoon.
The combination of creamy, silky Taleggio and nutty aged Gruyère cheeses in these small but satisfying sandwiches results in the perfect melt, with plenty of flavor.
