Fourteen dinners that cover the full spread this week. Fresh off the grill and straight to the table — blackened fish tacos loaded with house-made salsas and guacamole, a peppercorn-crusted sirloin drowning in red wine reduction and bleu cheese, and a mango-glazed lamb chop with a rum-carrot situation that sounds like vacation. Spring is on the plate, the flavors are bold, and there's something here whether you've got 35 minutes or a full afternoon. Some of my faves:
Aleppo Half-Chicken — sweet pepper glaze, tarragon-yogurt sauce, umami shoestring fries, shatta emulsion. A restaurant plate worth recreating at home
Sambuesah — crispy dumplings stuffed with ground beef, chickpeas, vegetables, and special seasoning. The kind of thing you make once and have on permanent rotation
