Duck Breast “Prosciutto”

Like many recipes involving curing, this one is fairly simple. Time, garlic and salt are your friends. The result is delicious -- and isn’t nearly as salty as you’d expect. Start this recipe before Yom Kippur to enjoy on Sukkot!

Brisket Stewed with Black-Eyed Peas

Black-eyed peas are showing up everywhere these days, from Michael Twitty's black-eye pea hummus to this recipe from Michael Solomonov's cookbook, Israeli Soul. A traditional siman (symbol) of prosperity for the new year, this is a perfect recipe if you're looking to try something different than the tomatoes, brown sugar and garlic of Ashkenazi recipes. Michael writes, "the richness of the brisket (we like the flat, or first-cut) and black-eyed peas is perfectly balanced by the stewed greens, the haunting acidity of dried lime, and tons of fresh dill." Sounds good to us!

Beef Bacon-Wrapped Dates with Techina

Serve this bite-sized morsels and your guests may well forget about the rest of the meal. We developed this recipe with Adam Sher, who encouraged us to work them into a full menu -- the accumulated beef bacon fat on the pan can be made into a vinaigrette to toss over baby spinach, and the techina can accompany the lamb main course. After trying these with our latest product, Lamb Bacon, we can tell you that they're even more delicious than the Beef Bacon variety -- but either way, you are very much in for a treat.

Shabbat Chol HaMoed, Dinner

Persian-Spiced French Brisket

Brisket is better eaten the day after it is cooked.  In this recipe, start another day early to dry-rub the meat with the heady Persian-influenced spices which will give it a rich and complex flavor. French Briskets run small, which makes them perfect for smaller gatherings. You can use other braising roasts such as Top of the Rib, First Cut or Whole Brisket -- just double the spices for larger roasts.

Lemony Lamb Chulent

This bright little number is a tasty alternative to your regular chulent. If you use lamb riblets (which are more affordable), make the stew ahead and chill; skim fat before reheating.

How to Make Perfect Burgers

The trick to a great burger? Start with great meat. We like to use a combination of different ground meats, but all beef is always good too.  Just avoid extra fillers -- they take away from the meaty burger flavor you're after. Here are our best tips for enjoying the best burgers you've ever had -- right in your own home.
