Green Goddess Chicken Sandwiches
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts, cut crosswise in half and pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
Nonstick cooking spray or neutral oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 small clove garlic (or 1/2 of a larger clove)
1/2 cup fresh herbs (I used 2 tablespoons each basil, chives, cilantro, and parsley)
1 avocado, peeled and pitted
7 ounces Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons white balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
4 hamburger buns or sandwich rolls
1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
Ingredients
  1. Prepare grill for direct grilling over medium heat. Spray the chicken with nonstick spray (or brush with a neutral oil) and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and ground black pepper.
  2. Place chicken on the hot grill rack and cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until chicken loses its pink color throughout and reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. Remove the chicken from grill and let it stand 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the green goddess sauce: In a food processor, pulse garlic until finely chopped. Add herbs and pulse again until finely chopped.
  4. Add avocado, yogurt, honey, lemon juice, vinegar, ground white pepper, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Process until mixture is well combined (there will be visible flecks of herbs).
  5. Build sandwiches using buns, spinach, chicken and Green Goddess Sauce.

Mushi-Gyoza (Steamed Gyoza)
This was my favorite food growing up. My mom learned to make these in Taiwan where they were called shu mai. When we moved to Hawaii they became gyoza and took on a new shape. I usually make these with pork but you can make them with half shrimp and half pork, or chicken and shrimp or any combination of small farm animals and seafood you like.

Afghan Dumplings with Lamb Kofta and Yogurt Sauce
This is a recipe from Afghan Cooking Unveiled, the blog I write along with Humaira Ghilzai. It comes from Humaira's mother, Jeja. Traditionally Aushak is made in community: families gather and assemble the dumplings. Then, everyone sits down to a delicious meal together. This dumpling is traditionally filled with something called gandana, which is in the onion family. Since gandana is hard to find, we use scallions instead. - Katie Morford

Queso Fundido con Hongos
Typically when I enter a recipe for Food52, I make it, tweak it, and take it's picture before I post it. I have made this so often though that I can type it up without making it right now, though if time allows I will later in the week—after all, it's delicious!! Queso Fundido is often made with chorizo, but I find that to be a little greasy and heavy, so I make a vegetarian version with mushrooms and toasty nuts, and a hint of sweet from the currants. Also, if you can find huitlacoche (cuitlacoche) it is wonderful with this! It is available at Latin markets here in Texas but I am not sure of that is true elsewhere.

Fig and Olive Tapenade
I love figs. I love olives. I always have a good supply of both on hand. I wanted a spread to go with crostini for an impromptu gathering one evening, and I went searching to see what I had in my pantry. I came out with a jar of Kalamata olives, a jar of big, green, pimiento-stuffed martini olives, and a box of dried Mission figs. Fifteen minutes later, I had this tapenade, and I still have people asking for the recipe.
