Breads > The world’s best pancake recipe
From the kitchen of Jason Kottke & Robie
Fluffy, relatively easy pancakes. Recipe feeds four.
The original recipe called them the world’s best, a rating which is unlikely to be scientifically verified, but is entirely plausible.
Sauces & Relishes > Zulu Spaghetti Sauce
The Zulu sauce has a dozen or so ingredients and is pretty hard to find, but very tasty. If you search “Ukuva Zulu Fire Sauce” online, you might find a local vendor. The sauce itself isn’t very hot, but has quite a strong flavor—hence the addition of so much tomato sauce to stabilize it.
Serves a lot. Just look at the ingredients. You’ll be eating it for days.
Soups & Stews > White Bean Soup with Greens
From the kitchen of South Beach Diet Cookbook
This southern Italian soup features white beans. Choose from great Northern beans, cannellini beans, or any other white bean you happen to have on hand.
Serves 6.
Poultry > Turkey and Black Bean Sloppy Joe
From the kitchen of Marge Perry (NY Newsday)
Black beans seem to have a meatier, almost smoky flavor compared to other beans. In this sandwich they add depth and creamy texture as well as fiber and other nutrients to a traditional sloppy Joe.
Serves 6
