Melting Cabbage

Cabbage is transformed into a meltingly tender delight with this easy hybrid cooking method. The wedges are seared, then oven-braised until the leaves become silky with caramelized edges. After the cabbage has cooked, its braising liquid is quickly turned into a delicious buttery honey-mustard sauce that's spooned over the finished dish.

German Pancake

German Pancake

This large-format pancake puffs up at the perimeter, creating light airy edges, while the center remains denser and almost custard-like. It’s the combination of these two textures that makes the German pancake special — that, and the ease of being able to whip up pancakes for six without being tethered to the griddle. What’s the difference between a Dutch baby and a German pancake, you may wonder? Semantics, really. The origin of this giant baked pancake is commonly attributed not to a Dutch or German dish, but to a Seattle restaurant called Manca’s that began serving the dish in the 1940s. The inspiration and name for this uniquely puffy pancake may have come from some variation of pfannkuchen (the German word for pancakes) and the word Deutsch (German) pronounced in American English eventually morphing into “Dutch.” While many German pancake recipes call for a cast-iron skillet, this recipe uses a 9-by-13-inch rectangular baking pan to create one gargantuan pancake with plenty of crisp edges. How you serve the pancake is up to you: Fill it with berries and maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar, or cut it into individual squares and let everyone top the pancakes to their liking.

Boneless Buffalo Wings

This potentially controversial recipe takes a few steps away from traditional Buffalo wings: It starts with boneless chicken breasts, pan-fries them, and then serves the Buffalo sauce on the side for dipping instead of coating the chicken. But it’s got a goal: This ensures all the hard work of securing a crispy piece of chicken doesn’t go to waste. These boneless wings are crunchier, and, without the pesky bones, they’re arguably more snackable. The elusive texture of wet-crunchy is in full effect here when chunks of crisp chicken breast and celery get dunked into the zingy Buffalo sauce.

Spicy Turkey Burgers

The turkey burger doesn’t always get the respect (and love) it deserves, because turkey’s leanness can create a dry, crumbly burger. But those worries disappear when you add a dollop of mayonnaise to the burger mix, which ensures a juicy bite and encourages a caramelized coating. Using a mix of ground cayenne and paprika gives the patties a smoky heat that amplifies their meaty flavor. The garlicky iceberg slaw tames the burger’s spiciness and should spill out of the sides like a happy mess.

Chicken and Rice Casserole

A 20th-century American dish that has withstood the test of time, chicken and rice casserole continues to win the hearts of home cooks looking to get an easy meal on the table without breaking the bank. This version has minimal prep: Uncooked chicken, rice, mushrooms and celery are tossed together in the dish, then a creamy sauce is poured on top. (If you have precooked, leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken on hand, simply chop the meat into bite-size pieces and swap it in.) Crumbled crackers add a welcome salty crunch on top. While the dish bakes, toss together a simple salad with a citrusy vinaigrette to cut through all the richness.
