We found ourselves craving this sun-dried tomato butter, not just spreading it on lamb chops but also tossing it with orzo and smearing it onto slices of toast.
Toasted almonds contrast beautifully with sweet, tender raisins and earthy chard.
There's no question: If meatloaf, then potatoes. These have all the comfort of mashed, but with a nice texture from the potato slices and from being baked in cream. And they can go in the oven along with the meatloaf, so dinner will be ready all at once.
“There is no typical tagine of Algeria—the country is too big, and the cooks are all too opinionated to agree on a typical dish,” says Zadi. Still, this version epitomizes the spirit of Algerian cooking, with many flavors in perfect balance and no single ingredient overwhelming the others. And we found the savory, juicy meat (simmered with blood-orange preserves and apricots) and the spiced toasted pine nuts to be an absolutely delicious combination.
Adding a short rib to already richly flavored onion soup sets this version of the French classic apart from all the others you've tried.
