This dish is a spin-off of chicken satay—a common Thai-style appetizer made with strips of marinated, grilled chicken on skewers with a spicy peanut sauce for dipping. I had some cubed pork loin in the fridge, and I thought a stew version would be good to incorporate…
Caribbean jerk seasoning is typically very spicy—featuring habanero peppers. Feel free to use half of a habanero pepper in place of the jalapeño, but be warned—long, slow braising tends to intensify the heat of chilli peppers and other spicy ingredients. The mango…

Prosciutto is one of my favorite ingredients. It gives these pork chops a deep, salty flavor and goes beautifully with the peach sauce! Be sure you don’t skip the step of broiling the chops for a few minutes when they come out of the cooker. It’ll crisp up that…

Meatballs, sauce, and “noodles” all in one pot! You could even make a large batch of meatballs and freeze them on a cookie sheet, then divide them into portions in zip-top bags. Throwing a bag of frozen meatballs into a pot with some sauce and a spaghetti squash can…
This recipe couldn’t be simpler, but sometimes the simplest things yield the best results. Choose brats or similar sausages you really like, because they flavor the whole pot. Also, adding a few forkfuls of sauerkraut on each serving is a must! Prep time 10…
