Mississippi Chicken
In this rendition of a slow-cooker classic, chicken thighs are transformed into a zesty, pull-apart tender dinner, with plenty of herby, buttery sauce. As the sibling to Mississippi pot roast, this dish has many of that beloved recipe’s staple ingredients, like pepperoncini and butter, but here, instead of packaged ranch seasoning and au jus powder, soy sauce and a blend of fresh herbs and seasonings are used. Mashed potatoes, rice and greens are great sides that will hold up well to the tangy gravy. Consider baking some cornbread or dinner rolls as well while it cooks.
Calamari Salad With Potatoes and Olives
Make this fantastic seafood-meets-potato salad for your next potluck or summertime party. Calamari turns tender with just a quick boil and readily absorbs the tangy lemony dressing while warm. Crunchy celery, briny olives and pickled spicy pepperoncini add piquancy and personality to the salad, while scallions bring lovely mild onion flavor. (Chives would also work nicely.) The salad is equally tasty at room temperature or chilled, and can be made a few hours ahead. Leftovers are wonderful tossed with warm pasta and a bit more olive oil.
