Peanut plants thrive in the hot climate of Southeast Asia, where ground peanut sauces have become a staple in the cuisine. Peanuts were first introduced to the region by the Spanish who brought them over from Mexico. The smooth richness of peanuts works perfectly with the bright tangy flavors of fresh lime, garlic, and sriracha. A dash of fish sauce adds a characteristic funkiness, but if fish sauce is hard to find soy sauce will add a..

These green chile eggs are a cheesy, fluffy, and delicious way to start your day. The green chiles offer more tang than heat, making this recipe a hit with all ages and taste buds. Assemble this recipe the night before and wake up to a hot and portable breakfast. If you want to have leftovers, or if you have a big crowd to feed you can double this recipe, split it between two pans, and cook in the top two zones of your Suvie. Use canned hatch..

This vegetarian chili is a hearty, rib-sticking meal packed with tons of flavor. Poblano peppers are not overly spicy, but they are very flavorful and add a lot of depth to this dish. Cumin and dried oregano are classic chili spices, and a dash of red pepper flakes kicks up the heat a notch. A quick broil of the veggies and spices helps to unlock their fragrance, and softens the onion and garlic. This chili is served over quinoa, a fantastic..

When it comes to wine, we tend to associate the richer hearty notes of red wines with winter and the bright and zesty qualities of white wines with the warmer months of spring and summer. While it’s true that red wines tend to be more appropriate for the colder months, there are several white wines that are well worth consuming in winter. One such wine is Viognier, which brings a robust, full-bodied palate to the table and pairs well with a..

Coconut based Thai curries are a masterclass in balancing powerful flavors with finesse. Spicy jalapeño and ginger blend with bright lemongrass and lime juice, while a little sweetness from the brown sugar and coconut milk keeps the spice from getting out of hand and a salty, umami punch of soy sauce helps blend everything together. We chose chicken thighs for this recipe because the low and slow cooking lends itself to the juicier texture of..

This Valentine’s Day recipe is a restaurant quality meal that requires a little more prep work and knife skills than our normal recipes, but will help you show off to your special someone. Suvie helps you cook duck breasts to tender, sous vide perfection. All you need to do is sear the skin to crisp it up and render out the duck fat. Since the duck is a rich protein we decided to keep things light with a toasted farro salad. Farro is an..

In busy households with many different dietary preferences and proclivities it’s nice to be able to provide some dinner choices. No need to decide between meat lasagna and spinach lasagna here, because Suvie lets you have both. In this recipe we utilize the same cheesy ricotta mixture for the base of each lasagna, use the same marinara, and divide the same melty cheese on top of each lasagna, but swap out meat for spinach in one of the pans...

Adobo is the unofficial national dish of the Philippines. Usually made with pork belly or chicken this dish renders off an incredibly addictive sauce made with soy sauce, lots of vinegar and a touch of sugar. Salty, sour and just a little sweet this dish is worth making for the sauce alone. Flavored with garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaf the chicken slowly cooks for two hours and then a final broil caramelizes the sugars and further reduces..

For Valentine’s day we are serving up these ooey-gooey chocolate brownies for a rich and decadent treat. To make these brownies so delicious we employ a few tricks to coax out the complex and multifaceted flavor of chocolate. First, we brown the butter to infuse the batter with toasty, nutty flavors that aren’t accessible in melted butter alone. If you’re short on time you can melt the butter without browning it, but you’ll be missing out on a..

Shepherd’s Pie is a classic comfort dish hailing from the British Isles. This dish is usually made with ground lamb, carrots, and peas, and topped with mashed potatoes. We decided to switch things up and put a Mexican spin on this classic dish by combining Tamal de Cazuela (affectionately known as Tamale Pie) with Shepherd’s Pie. Pork carnitas and black beans take the place of the lamb and veggies, and instead of mashed potatoes we subbed in a..
