How have we missed this!? Today Wilf Chumbly introduces us to the magic that is Cheese Toast. We debate wearing barrister wigs, the merits of LARPing and where the word "rarebit" comes from all while avoiding the dreaded burnt edges. Gooey Cheese Toasts with Mustard and Cayenne - from Tasting Hygge by Leela Cyd 2 large slices of 1-inch thick whole-grain or sourdough bread 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1/2 cup beer (I love Guinness for its maltiness) 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1 teaspoon mustard powder (Colman's is my favorite) 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce Pinch of cayenne pepper Pinch of salt Optional Toppings Fried egg Fresh sage, roughly chopped Pickled onions Mango chutney Grainy mustard Thickly sliced heirloom tomato Seared broccoli Salad of butter lettuce and tangy dressing Toast the bread until dark golden brown and set aside. Melt the butter in a small saucepan on medium heat. Then add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the mixture begins to smell toasty. Add the beer and cook for 1 more minute. Add the cheese, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, and a pinch of salt and cook on medium-high heat for another 4-5 minutes, until bubble and thick. When the cheese sauce is ready, preheat the broiler and place the toasts on a cookie sheet. Generously spoon the cheese sauce all over each piece of toast. It's okay if some spills off. Douse the toasts a second time to make sure they are very saturated with cheese sauce. Depending on how absorbent the bread is, you may have a little cheese sauce left over. Broil for about 5 minutes, until the cheese sauce begins to brown in spots and look golden all over. Serve immediately with assorted toppings.

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN CHILAQUILES Okay, maybe Matthew said enchiladas on the show, but actually he’s more likely to use rotisserie chicken for these chilaquiles, which are awesome. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil ½ large onion, diced 1 cup chicken broth ¼ cup heavy cream ½ cup green salsa 1 cup shredded chicken A bunch of tortilla chips (maybe ⅔ of a 1-pound bag) 3 fried eggs Heat oil in Dutch oven or other large pot over medium-high. Add the onions and cook until starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir chicken broth, cream, and salsa, bring to a vigorous simmer, and cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the chicken, then the chips, breaking up the chips slightly with a spoon, stirring up from the bottom, and adding chips until they’re nicely coated.

Whether you boil, stuff or braise it, cabbage is a canvas. We chew into eternity as we become Cabbage Heads and discover that this beloved of brassicas will one day save us all. Get ready to ooh and ahh. STIR-FRIED CABBAGE Cabbage Ginger Soy sauce Rice wine Vegetable or peanut oil Rice vinegar This is more of a method than a recipe. Cut green cabbage into rough one-inch squares. (A quarter-head of cabbage makes a good side dish for two people.) Prepare a teaspoon or two of minced ginger. Pour one tablespoon each of soy sauce and rice wine into a small bowl. Heat a wok or skillet over high heat. Add the oil and heat until you see a wisp of smoke. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring every 30 seconds or so, until well browned and a bit charred in places, reducing the heat slightly if necessary. Add the ginger and stir to combine. Drizzle in the soy sauce mixture, reserving a little and tasting for a good level of salt. Cook until the soy sauce and rice wine has evaporated.

Today, the Rice Cooker Vigilantes confront patent trolls and scary rap to bring you lots and lots of science. We drop truths you may not be able to handle, such as how dentures are like pressure cookers, whose instant pot is best and the ups and downs of natural vs manual release. Instant Pot Chili This is loosely adapted from Cook's Illustrated, March/April 1998. As specified, this makes a very intense and medium-spicy chili. If you want to substitute commercial chili powder for the dried chiles, use 4 tablespoons and omit the cumin. 3 pounds beef chuck, trimmed well of fat and cut into 1-inch cubes 3 dried ancho chiles 3 dried New Mexico chiles 2 dried pasilla negro chiles 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon dried coriander 1/2 teaspoon MSG 5 garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 onion, diced 2 jalapeños, seeded (if desired) and minced 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 8-oz. can tomato sauce 1/2 cup water Toast the chiles. The easiest way to do this is in the microwave. Put them on a plate and start with 30 seconds on high; remove any that have puffed up and continue at 30-second intervals until they've all puffed. Let them cool for five minutes and grind in a spice grinder. Combine the chile powders with the salt, oregano, cumin, coriander, MSG, and minced garlic. Set the multicooker to Saute. Heat the oil and add the onion and jalapeño. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chile powder mixture and stir until well-mixed and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beef, lime juice, tomato sauce, and water. Stir to combine. Lock the lid, set the multicooker to Manual and cook for 35 minutes with natural pressure release. The chili will be very thick and rich; feel free to add water to dilute as necessary. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
