Prawn

Consider this paella recipe a gateway and the first step to a serious, lifelong love of this classic Spanish dish. I've used a minimum number of ingredients and steps to focus on technique. After learning the method, you'll ideally use a wider variety of ingredients, like clams, mussels, squid, and chicken, which will make your rice that much more interesting. Garnish with extra virgin olive oil, freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley, and lemon wedges.

Pork

Sweet Maple Pork Chops

Juicy pork chops glazed with a buttery maple syrup sauce. Sweet, savory, and great for breakfast or dinner.

Chicken
