10 Dishes You Loved in February
These were the 10 dishes you loved the most in February.
Alex Lau1/10BA's Best Molten Chocolate Cake
A deep chocolate cake with a liquid chocolate center. Many recipes get this effect by purposely undercooking the cake, so that the middle is raw batter. Effective, but not the most delicious. Our version has a spoonful of ganache in the center, which melts as the cake bakes through.
Alex Lau2/10Spanish Breakfast Casserole with Eggs and Bacon
This is ideal for a brunch party; the entire casserole can be assembled the night before so all that’s left to do is bake it the next day. And let’s be real: We’d happily eat it for dinner, too.

Undercooking the pasta is key; it’s what ensures the casserole won’t be mushy after baking. And the potato chips add crunch to every bite.
Gentl & Hyers5/10Confit Chicken Thigh and Andouille Sausage Cassoulet
This riff on a classic cassoulet skips most of the exotic ingredients and elaborate preparation but still delivers deep rich flavor.
Alex Lau6/10Tamale Pie with Mint Yogurt
Ras-el-hanout is a Moroccan spice blend that contains several warming spices (such as cinnamon and nutmeg) with a little ginger and chile for heat. If you can’t find it, use garam masala instead.
Gentl & Hyers7/10Coconut-Date Power Breakfast Bars
Five different types of coconut go into our quintuple-threat breakfast (or snack) bars. Nutrient-dense and sweet enough to satisfy even the youngest members of your household.
Michael Graydon & Nikole Herriott8/10Kimchi-Braised Chicken with Bacon
To make the finished dish less of a knife-and-fork affair, remove the braised chicken from the bone, shred it with a couple of forks, and then stir it back into the tomato-kimchi sauce.
Alex Lau9/10Beet and Rye Panzanella
Use whatever bread you have lying around, but we like the earthy flavor combo of rye and beets.

Freezing fresh pineapple definitely makes the best impact flavor-wise, but you can use 8 oz. frozen pineapple if you wish.
