Ingredients

  • STOCK:
  • 1 (4 pounds) whole chicken, neck and gizzards removed
  • 1 medium sweet onion, quartered
  • 2 large carrots, cut into chunks
  • 2 celery ribs, cut into chunks
  • 3 garlic cloves, unpeeled, crushed
  • 8 cups cold water
  • STEW:
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-in. chunks
  • 1 medium sweet onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 bag (10 ounces) frozen corn (about 1-3/4 cups)
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • Hot pepper sauce, for serving

Directions

  1. To make stock, place whole chicken, onion, carrot, celery, and garlic in a 6- or 8-qt. electric pressure cooker. Add water to cover, ensuring not to fill past the fill line on the cooker insert (about three-quarters full). Set toggle to sealed; select manual high pressure. Set cook time to 45 minutes. Once cook time finishes, let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes; quick-release remaining pressure.
  2. To make the stew, strain stock into a large stockpot. Transfer chicken to a cutting board; discard remaining strained solids (if desired, remove the fat from the top of the stock using a fat separator; discard). Set aside to cool.
  3. Add potatoes, onion, and garlic to the stockpot; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, uncovered, 20-25 minutes.
  4. Once chicken is cool enough to handle, remove meat from the carcass, breaking it into large chunks; discard skin and bones.
  5. Add chicken meat, crushed tomatoes, corn, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper to the stockpot. Return to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, stirring vigorously every 5 minutes or so, until the mixture reduces slightly and chicken chunks become a shredded texture, about 30 minutes.

  • 1 cup oat or almond milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter-style sticks, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Brush with 2 tablespoons butter; sprinkle with half the brown sugar mixture to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 8 slices; place in a greased 13x9-in. pan, cut side down (cover with a kitchen towel while shaping second half). Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  5. Bake until golden brown, 18-20 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
  6. For frosting, beat butter, cream cheese, vanilla and salt until blended; gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar. Spread over tops. Refrigerate leftovers.

Ingredients

  • POACHED EGGS:
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 4 large eggs
  • HOLLANDAISE:
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • FLORENTINE:
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot
  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Splash lemon juice
  • 2 English muffins, split and toasted

Directions

  1. To make poached eggs, fill a large saucepan with 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer (water temperature should be 160-180°). Stir in vinegar. Carefully crack eggs into individual small bowls, teacups or ramekins. Gently stir the simmering water in a clockwise motion. Hold egg dish over the water; gently slip the egg into the water. Cook, uncovered, 3-5 minutes or until egg whites are completely set and opaque and the yolk begins to thicken but are not hard. Use a slotted spoon to lift the poached egg out of the water. Place the spoon with the poached egg on top of a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  2. To make hollandaise, warm butter in a small saucepan until melted. Skim off the milk solids on top; discard. Keep warm. In a double boiler or metal bowl over simmering water, constantly whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice until mixture reaches 160° or is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Reduce heat to low. Slowly drizzle in clarified butter, whisking constantly until thickened and emulsified. Whisk in salt and pepper.
  3. To cook spinach, heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; cook 2-3 minutes or until soft. Stir in spinach and garlic; cook 1-2 minutes or until spinach has wilted. Season with salt and a splash of lemon juice.
  4. To assemble, pile cooked spinach on halves of toasted English muffins. Top each with a poached egg. Drizzle with hollandaise.

Ingredients

  • COOKIE LAYER:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (8 tablespoons)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • BROWNIE LAYER:
  • 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper.
  2. To prepare the cookie layer, in a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter, brown sugar and sugar until fluffy and lightened in color, about 5 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla extract.
  4. To the wet ingredients, add the flour mixture; stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Cover the dough with plastic wrap; chill until ready to use.
  5. To prepare the brownie layer, fill the bottom of a double boiler with a few inches of water; bring to a low simmer. To the top of the double boiler, add chopped chocolate, brown sugar, sugar and oil. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is melted and the sugars have mostly dissolved. Remove from heat. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until the batter is smooth and glossy; beat in vanilla extract.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until the flour is moistened and no dry patches remain. Transfer brownie batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer.
  7. Remove cookie dough from the refrigerator; divide it into nine equal portions. Roll into a ball and flatter each into a round disc. Arrange the cookie dough pieces on top of the brownie batter as a 3x3 grid.
  8. Bake 24-26 minutes or until brownies are set and the cookie layer appears lightly golden. A toothpick should come out almost clean when inserted into the center. Let cool completely before slicing into squares.

  • 1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Directions

  1. To make the patties, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Divide mixture into fourths; shape each portion into a 1-inch-thick burger patty. Press thumb into the center of each patty to create an indentation.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; place burgers in the hot pan, 2 in. apart. Cook burgers 4-5 minutes; flip, reduce heat to medium. Cook another 4-5 minutes or until internal temperature of burgers reaches 160°. Remove to a plate; cover to keep warm.
