Lamb Ragout with Olives and Peppers

Go to Recipe

Jason Franey serves lamb two ways (as a ragout and as chops) with two sides (potato puree and Israeli couscous). But the ragout and couscous are amazing on their own, and less work to make.

Shanghai Stir-Fried Pork with Cabbage

Go to Recipe

“I was a student in Beijing during World War II,” says chef Cecilia Chiang. “To flee occupied China, I walked with my sister to Chongqing; it took close to six months. Crossing different provinces, I found out the foods are quite different. In the north, for instance, people eat a lot of sorghum, millet and wheat instead of rice. In Shanghai homes, this stir-fried cabbage-and-pork recipe is typical.”

Red Wine-Braised Baby Octopus with Black Olives

Gently braised in red wine until tender, this octopus is simmered in a rich, robust sauce that would be wonderful with a chewy, mouth-filling red wine.

Grilled Lamb Chops with Garlic, Chiles and Anchovies

Credit: © John Kernick
Go to Recipe

This is one of Ethan Stowell's go-to dishes when he entertains, because he can do almost all of the work in advance. The marinade is super-flavorful, but if you don't like very spicy food, cut back on the red jalapeños.

Pairing: 2009 Gramercy Cellars Syrah
