Waverley Root's Agrigento Red Cabbage with Black Olives and Capers
Sweet and sour braised cabbage is a familiar character in German beer hall menus, with the punch of vinegar usually offset by melted brown sugar and apples. But as I've come to learn from this Sicilian recipe published in 1974, what braised cabbage might have really needed all along wasn't wasn't sweetness, but umami, in the form of black olives and crushed capers. Adapted slightly from [The Best of Italian Cooking](http://www.amazon.com/Waverly-Roots-Best-Italian-Cooking/dp/B0031VZ9H4/?tag=food52-20) (Grosset & Dunlap, 1974).
Whiskey mable almonds
Roasting nuts is one of the simplest and easiets ways to be creative about your food. If you love your snacks as much as I do, it's also a really good oppotunity to cut down on your intake of salt. The salt/sugar/spicy balance is a pretty personal thing, but here's a good starting point.
Beer Candied Pecans

Brown Sugar Marshmallows
Soft, pillowy clouds of happiness with just the slightest nuttiness from the dark brown sugar. Adapted from @kitchn (How To Make Fluffy Marshmallows)- Great space to learn new things! This is a very simplified take on marshmallows and takes a slightly casual approach to marshmallow making! This recipe is so customizable! Add spices and cocoa powder to the dusting mixture or replace the vanilla extract with a cheeky liqueur like Frangelico! If I can do it so can you! @freakinthekitchento
Chocolate Peppermint Bars
A little-known fact: Creamy chocolate-covered peppermint patties are not hard to make at home. Here, the minty filling and chocolate coating are layered onto a cocoa-imbued shortbread base, which adds a cookie crunch to each bite. These keep well, so you can make them a week ahead; store airtight at room temperature. They also freeze well. The coconut oil makes the chocolate coating slightly shinier and a little more brittle in a good way, so use it if you have it. But if you don't have it on hand, you can omit it.
The Breukelen

Maria Speck's Shortcut Polenta
Cooking polenta the traditional way will lock you down for the better part of an hour, standing and stirring and pawing at the film on the bottom of the pot, trying to keep it from scorching and adhering there forever. This simple make-ahead method shaves of at least 2/3 of the active cooking time, so that you can get creamy, no-sacrifice polenta on the table on a weeknight in 15 minutes. Adapted slightly from Simply Ancient Grains.
Winter Side Dish — Wild Rice, Brussels Sprouts, Pomegranate, and Pistachios

Tamarind Wings
This recipe is inspired by a salsa featured in a Mexican restaurant we visit when in Los Angeles. It is sweet/tart, fruity and a little spicy. These wings are very easy (and addictive). You can wing it with a greater or lesser number of wings as the recipe as written gives you more salsa than needed.
