Tandoori Seared Chicken Legs

This is an incredibly easy recipe that boasts such great flavor you’ll be making it a lot! The chicken is seared in a cast iron skillet in hot ghee to brown on both sides, then transferred to the oven to continue cooking. We used whole chicken legs (thigh with drumstick) but you can use the breast with skin, if desired, although the roasting time will likely be a bit longer. You can easily make as much chicken as your skillet can hold.

Spiced Pears

These pears are quick and easy to prepare, and kids love them! Ideas for serving include:
* Add a dollop to yogurt or ice cream
* Top with nuts and raisins or a splash of cream
* Enjoy with a wedge of dark chocolate
* Once cooled, chop and use as you would jams or jellies (on toast, pancakes, waffles,
quick breads, muffins and scones
Be sure to use firm pears – no need to peel if organic. Can be served warm, room temperature or cold.

Broccoli with Radicchio

Balti Curry adds such good flavors to simple, healthy dishes! For this recipe, we started with a cast iron skillet rubbed with ghee to help sear in the flavors of the sweet broccoli and slightly bitter radicchio. The addition of Malabar ground black pepper adds a mildly peppery flavor that won’t compete with the various flavors of the Balti curry, However, any black pepper you have on hand will do quite nicely.
