a bowl of tortellini pasta with Zucchini Pasta Sauce

What makes this pasta sauce recipe magic? Shazaam: the complaints about vegetables will disappear when this zucchini pasta sauce hits the dinner table. It’s a great way to hide the fact that you’re serving something healthy with the delicious carb-y goodness of chunky pasta. And zucchini is an extremely versatile vegetable that has more texture than most other veggies, so it’s a great “hidden veggie” started to get picky eaters to learn vegetables can be good.

Tips for Cooking Pasta with Zucchini

Zucchini can release water and become mushy if overcooked, so be mindful of the cooking time. Ideally, you want it to remain tender and slightly crisp. While it’s sautéing, you can also add some extra spices like crushed red pepper, black pepper, or paprika, if you want to add more flavor to the dish as you go. When you’re cooking the pasta, you want it to turn out al dente to get the best combination of the pasta and the zucchini mixture. So, start boiling the pasta just before you begin cooking the zucchini, so everything is ready at the same time. (And then cleaning up is as easy as cooking!)

An aerial view of Shawarma Chicken Kabobs on a yellow plat surrounded by flowers. kabob recipe

Summer grilling season would not be complete without trying a kabob recipe. This carefree recipe for Shawarma Chicken Kabobs marinates chicken in aromatic spices like clove, coriander, cumin, and cardamom, along with lemon, salt and pepper, and olive oil. Skewer it up with some fresh veggies and you will be very happy with the crowd-pleasing results.

What is Shawarma?

The word “shawarma” comes from the Turkish word çevirme, which means “turning.” It’s thin slices of meat on a rotating vertical spit, covered in a mouthwatering array of spices. This Shawarma Chicken Kabobs recipe is, by some standards, not technically a shawarma, since we didn’t make it on a vertical spit. However, it’s shawarma style due to the spices we used in this kabob recipe. The combination of coriander, cumin, paprika, and garlic are typical to what meat marinates in for shawarma.

Classic Negroni

Two Negronis sit in rocks glasses garnished with orange peel. Classic Negroni Recipe

The classic Negroni is a favorite among cocktail enthusiasts, and for good reason. With its perfect blend of bitter and sweet flavors, the Negroni is a timeless drink to enjoy any time of year — whether you’re looking for a sophisticated cocktail to serve at a dinner party or just want to unwind after a long day at work.

Why Does a Negroni Get an Orange Peel Garnish?

While the peel of an orange may seem like a garnish you could leave off, it actually adds more depth and an additional taste to your negroni experience. Once you express the orange peel (twist it to expel oils) it adds a fragrant aroma over top of your beverage. This slight citrus undertone is one of the most important parts of a traditional version of a negroni. Not to mention, it also adds a pop of color.

When Andrea Duran, wizard of mixology at the lively and delicious La Paloma restaurant, offered us this Pineapple Habanero Margarita, we just had to share it. Our plan is to pick a shady spot some overheated afternoon, make a batch of this drink, and put our feet up for a minute. Enjoy!

How to Make the Habanero Simple Syrup

First, coarsely chop four Habanero peppers. Then, combine the peppers in a saucepan with one cup water and one cup sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. When the mixture starts to bubble, turn the heat off and let it sit to return it to room temperature. Finally, strain the liquid into a jar with a lid. You can store this syrup in the refrigerator for up to a month.

Chorizo Scotch Eggs with Chimichurri

Chorizo Scotch Eggs with Chimichurri sits on a white plate surrounded by greenery.

The term “scotching” refers to the finely chopped meat wrapping boiled eggs before being breaded and fried. In this case, Mexican chorizo is used for swaddling the eggs to phenomenal results. Impress yourself and your friends with this fun and straightforward chorizo eggs with chimichurri recipe, influenced by Latin cuisine. You can also use an air fryer for this, if you’re a fan of that particular craze.

Tips for Making Scotch Chorizo Eggs

The meaty, crunchy coating on the outside of the scotch egg is what makes it a unique dish. For anyone who doesn’t like the texture of a hard-boiled egg, the scotch egg is a good workaround. But making them well is a science. You do not want too-thick of a chorizo sausage wrapping. It’s hard to cook the sausage properly if there’s too much of it!

Chorizo Scotch Eggs with Chimichurri

5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

Author: Anna Franklin

Print Recipe

Description

A new way to enjoy eggs.

Ingredients

Scale

For the egg:

1/4 lb raw chorizo
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups panko breadcrumbs

For the chimichurri:

1 cup parsley, chopped
1/2 shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 qt canola oil for frying

Cook Mode

Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Divide chorizo into 6 even portions. Take each piece and press it into a thin patty.
Place an egg in the center of each patty and gently wrap the chorizo around the egg until it is evenly coated and looks like a large meatball.
Place chorizo-wrapped eggs in the freezer for 20 minutes just until the outside is cold. This will make them easier to bread.
While eggs are chilling, place all chimichurri ingredients into a food processor and blend until everything is finely chopped and a sauce begins to form. Set aside for dipping.
Take 2 eggs and lightly beat them in a bowl. Place panko in a shallow bowl for breading. Dip each egg into the egg wash, then into the panko, and coat evenly.
Deep-fry each egg at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes or until the chorizo is cooked.
Remove from the fryer and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and serve with chimichurri.
