Use the ripest, sweetest, smoothest mangoes you can find, such as Champagne or Haitian varieties, to make this yogurt-enriched Indian fruit shake. Striking the perfect balance between sweet and tart, this mango lassi makes a fine breakfast smoothie, or cooling accompaniment to spicy meals.

  • 3 cups plain yogurt (not Greek-style)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and coarsely chopped
  • Coarsely chopped pistachios, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. To a blender, add the yogurt, sugar, salt, and mango, and pulse until smooth. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour. Pour into glasses, garnish with pistachios if desired, and serve.

In Syria, this simple breakfast dish known as ardi shawki bil-bayd is usually served as a homey scramble accompanied by fried white cheese, rich, creamy yogurt, and flatbread. A mélange of fluffy eggs, meltingly soft artichoke hearts, and pleasantly grassy fresh parsley, it’s a remarkable example of something being greater than the sum of its parts.

Sautéing the artichokes with the garlic separately and folding them into the eggs at the last minute keeps the scramble lighter. While this recipe calls for frozen artichoke hearts for convenience, you can also use fresh: sub in two to three hearts of medium artichokes, trimmed, steamed, and sliced. Find our guide on how to trim an artichoke here.

Yield: 2
Time: 10 minutes
  • 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
  • 1 cup frozen quartered artichoke hearts, thawed in a strainer
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Finely chopped parsley leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. When it stops foaming, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1–2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. 
  2. Add the artichokes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through but not colored, 2–3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the garlic.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, and 1 tablespoon of water until frothy. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  4. Wipe out the skillet, return to medium heat, and add the remaining butter. When it’s melted, add the eggs and cook, folding gently with a silicone spatula, until set and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Fold in the reserved artichoke mixture, then divide the scramble between two plates. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Bathed in a rich coconut sauce fragrant with allspice and ginger, Jamaican curry chicken is a popular breakfast at Kingston cafes. Jamaican curry powder can be found at Caribbean groceries and online; we recommend using a mild one in this recipe as the Scotch bonnet packs a punch.

Featured in “Good Morning Jamaica,” by Betsy Andrews.

Buy the SAVEUR Selects Enameled Cast Iron 6-Quart Oval Roaster here.

Yield: 6–8
Time: 4 hours 55 minutes
  • 4 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1½-in. pieces
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 Tbsp. curry powder, preferably Jamaican, divided
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp. ground allspice
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 3 thyme sprigs
  • 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
  • 1 chayote squash, cut into ½-in. cubes
  • One 1-in. piece of ginger, finely chopped
  • 1 russet potato, peeled and cut into ½-in. cubes
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 Scotch bonnet or habanero chile, slit in half lengthwise
  • Steamed white rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. To a large bowl, add the chicken, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of the curry powder and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4–12 hours. 
  2. To a large pot set over medium-high heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot and shimmering, transfer half of the chicken to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown all over, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate, then repeat with the remaining chicken. 
  3. To the empty pot, add the allspice, garlic, scallions, thyme, carrots, chayote, ginger, and potato and turn the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk, chile, and reserved chicken and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chicken shreds easily when pierced with a fork and the sauce is thickened, about 40 minutes. Serve over rice.

Billionaire's Bacon
Maura McEvoy

In an ode to bacon titled “The Best Food in the World” (March 2005), Colman Andrews, one of SAVEURs founding editors, boldly proclaimed, “A proper serving of bacon is six slices.” His first encounter with this brown-sugar-coated version occurred at one of our staff holiday parties, catered by the now-closed Manhattan restaurant Mortimer’s. “A big platter of the bacon, frequently replenished, was in the dining room,” Andrews recalls. “It was so popular that you had to wait in line to grab a few pieces.”

Yield: 8–10
Time: 25 minutes
  • 1 lb. thick-sliced bacon
  • 1½ cups light-brown sugar, tightly packed
  • Vegetable oil, for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Separate the strips of bacon and blot dry with paper towels. Pour the sugar into a wide baking dish, and spread out into an even layer. Dredge the bacon in the sugar, coating both sides of each strip, before laying the strips on a wire rack set atop a large rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Cook for 8 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet and use tongs to flip the bacon. Continue cooking until the bacon is evenly browned and lacquered, about 8 minutes more. Use tongs to transfer the bacon, in a single layer, to a second large rimmed baking sheet that has been lightly greased with oil, and let cool to room temperature before serving.

Pecan chocolate sticky buns no-oven method from Bryan Ford

Christmas songs tell us that the morning of December 25th is the absolute peak of the winter holiday season. Families rock around the tree while tiny tots open presents with their eyes all aglow. But truth be told, I think what comes after the early-morning rowdiness is more special: gathering around a table with loved ones to share a mouthwatering feast. It’s the denouement, if you will, that follows the climax—the moment the energy and anticipation surrounding the season gives way to a comfortable, more relaxed pace.

Holidays call for something extra special, yet also simple enough so as not to pull you away from the revelry. Keep the prep work to a minimum by using up Christmas Eve leftovers in a savory one-pan hash. Or, make eggs the star of the show with an easy and elegant quiche, or a hearty shakshuka. For a sweeter option, treat loved ones to a croissant bread pudding or pecan-chocolate sticky buns that double as desserts. As SAVEUR’s resident breakfast correspondent, I’ve rounded up some festive recipes that not only fuel the day’s activities, but also evoke the spirit of the season.

Custardy French Toast

Tequila Sunrise cocktail

Tequila, orange juice, and grenadine create the eponymous sunrise in this '70s icon that actually started out as a classic Prohibition-era cocktail.

Tequila Sunrise cocktail
Andy Sewell. Andy Sewell

The tequila sunrise originated in 1930s Tijuana, Mexico at the Agua Caliente, a casino and racetrack that was a popular destination for American drinkers during Prohibition. Tequila, grenadine, crème de cassis, and lime are the basis for that first iteration, but a newer version from the 1970s incorporates orange juice and a splash of gin. Created by bartender Bobby Lozoff at the Trident restaurant in Sausalito, California, the cocktail became an icon of the ‘70s thanks to Mick Jagger’s fondness for it; the rocker even had it stocked in his limos, for a refresher on the go. 

Most tequila sunrises are made without gin these days, but if you’re in the mood to throw it back to the ‘70s, add ¾ ounce of dry gin to your cocktail shaker along with the tequila and orange juice.

Featured in “Why Repeal Day Is Still a Party 90 Years Later,” by Amanda Schuster.

Yield: 1
Time: 5 minutes
  • 1½ oz. 100% agave blanco or reposado tequila
  • 2½ oz. orange juice
  • ¼ oz. grenadine

Instructions

  1. To a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the tequila and orange juice and shake well until chilled. Strain into a highball or pint glass filled with ice, add the grenadine, and let it settle over the drink (do not stir).

How to Make Creamy Grits https://www.saveur.com/article/recipes/old-fashioned-creamy-grits/ Fri, 08 Feb 2019 18:46:23 +0000 https://dev.saveur.com/uncategorized/article-recipes-old-fashioned-creamy-grits/

A low-and-slow approach is the key to clinching this iconic Southern side.

How to Make Creamy Grits
Photography by Julia Gartland; Food Styling by Jessie YuChen

“People should really leave grits alone,” wrote the late chef Edna Lewis in her book, The Gift of Southern Cooking (co-authored with Scott Peacock). Lewis, who took a dim view of adding fancy ingredients to the beloved Southern staple, instead advised readers to keep it simple with her five-ingredient creamy grits recipe.

Another thing to keep in mind: No self-respecting Southerner uses instant grits. Homemade grits are easy to prepare, and well worth a tiny bit of extra care. Stone ground grits will yield the best texture but they do take longer to cook; remove their chewy outer chaff for the creamiest results.

We like these grits best served hot from the stove, with over-easy fried eggs or shrimp.

Order the SAVEUR Selects Voyage Series 2-Quart Chef’s Pan here.

Yield: 4–6
Time: 30 minutes
  • 2 cups whole milk, or more
  • 1 cup stone-ground or regular grits
  • Kosher salt
  • <sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>4</sub> cup heavy cream
  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. In a medium pot over medium heat, bring the milk and 2 cups water to a simmer.
  2. Meanwhile, to a large mixing bowl, add the stone-ground grits and enough cool water to cover. Stir the grits vigorously so that the chaff floats to the top. Skim the surface carefully to remove and discard the chaff, then drain the grits through a fine mesh strainer. (If you are using regular grits, you may skip this step.)
  3. Stir the grits into the simmering milk-water mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until the grains are tender to the bite and have thickened to the consistency of thick oatmeal. As the mixture thicken, stir frequently to prevent sticking and scorching. (Regular grits will be done in about 20 minutes, while stone-ground grits require an hour or a little more to cook, and you may have to add additional water as needed.)    
  4. Stir in the cream and butter, then season the grits to taste with salt. Remove from the heat and serve (cover and keep warm if not serving immediately). Serve hot.

In this sour-milk griddle cake recipe—adapted from Edna Lewis’ The Taste of Country Cooking —a thick, tangy batter cooks up into soft, fluffy rounds. The rustic pancakes make a delicious breakfast, especially when topped with stewed berries and maple syrup. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries to make the sauce.

Featured in “Back of the Bookshelf: The Taste of Country Cooking” by Tim Mazurek.

Yield: 2
Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

FOR THE SAUCE

  • 2 cups blueberries, rinsed
  • ⅓ cup sugar

FOR THE PANCAKES

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1⁄2 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1⁄2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1⁄2 tsp. fine salt
  • 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted, plus more for cooking
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 cups sour milk or buttermilk
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Make the sauce: To a medium pot set over medium heat, bring the blueberries, sugar, and 1⁄3 cup of water to a boil. Turn the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down and the sugar dissolves, 4–5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  2. Make the pancakes: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk in the melted butter and egg until just combined and no streaks of flour remain, then whisk in the sour milk.
  3. In a large non-stick skillet set over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the foam has subsided, working in batches, use a ⅓-cup measuring cup to scoop the batter onto the pan (without crowding the surface). Cook until tiny bubbles begin to form on the tops of the pancakes and the bottoms are golden brown, 2–4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, 2–4 minutes more. Transfer the pancakes to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Add more butter to the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately with the blueberry sauce and maple syrup.

For light and fluffy pancakes, California farmer and memoirist David “Mas” Masumoto adds a splash of seltzer to the batter. Yogurt activates the baking soda, and also contributes mild tang and smooth consistency. Find more of our best sweet and savory pancake recipes here.

Yield: Makes 12 pancakes
Time: 35 minutes
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • ½ tsp. fine salt
  • 1 cup plain full-fat yogurt
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • ½ cup seltzer water or club soda
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, plus more for serving
  • 3 cups fresh blueberries
  • Confectioners’ sugar
  • Maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Into a large bowl, sift the flour, sugar, and salt, and whisk to combine.
  2. To a medium bowl, add the yogurt and baking soda, and whisk to combine.
  3. Add the yogurt mixture, seltzer, and eggs to the flour mixture, and whisk until barely combined and a few streaks of flour remain. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
  4. In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. When the foam subsides, scoop ¼ cup of the batter into the skillet for each pancake, leaving 2 inches between them. Top each pancake with ¼ cup blueberries, pressing them gently into the batter with a spoon. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the top of the pancakes and they begin to pull away from the bottom of the pan, 2–3 minutes, then use a spatula to flip. Continue cooking until golden brown on both sides and the batter is cooked through, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, for “silver dollar” pancakes, spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of batter into the skillet for each pancake and top with 1 tablespoon of blueberries.)
  5. Transfer the pancakes to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm while you cook the rest of the batter, adding more butter to the skillet between batches. Dust all over with confectioners’ sugar and serve immediately, with additional butter and maple syrup if desired.
