Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

1 (8 ounce) goat cheese log
2 cups marinara sauce
¼ teaspoon kosher or sea salt (optional)
¼ cup fresh basil, cut into ribbons

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Press goat cheese to fit the shape of a small baking dish, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Gently spoon marinara sauce around the border, taking care to cover the edge of goat cheese but not the middle. Sprinkle with salt.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped basil.

Thanksgiving Turkey Congee

My dad used to make huge Thanksgiving dinners, and the morning after, we would be treated to delicious turkey congee. Congee is a Chinese rice porridge traditionally eaten for breakfast or brunch, but I personally eat it any time. It is also very good for digestion and has excellent health benefits. Although I've been having congee since I was a baby, it remains for me the ultimate comfort food.

Butter Tarts

These butter tarts have a rich, caramel-like filling and crunchy walnuts. This is a delicious old family recipe.

Chef John's Classic Guacamole

There are few things as easy, healthy, and delicious as this ubiquitous dip. However, unless you're grinding your aromatic vegetation in a molcajete, or against a cutting board, you're really not tasting a classic guacamole. The flavors not only become more intense, but actually change in character. This is just what those bland, fatty, but delectable avocados need. That and a thoughtful seasoning of lime juice, and maybe some more salt.

Roast Pheasant

This roast pheasant recipe is quick, simple, and has an autumn feel. It is very good roasted with diced potatoes, carrots, and seasonal squash (I like acorn squash). You can cook it at a higher temperature for a shorter time — just be sure to baste often since it is a very lean meat.
