Southwest Comfort Food: Slow and Savory

comfort your hunger and fill your home with savory aromas.

Southwest Comfort Food: Slow and Savory presents more than

100 recipes to warm your heart and tickle your palate too.

This wonderfully satisfying new cookbook by Marilyn Noble

features many homey favorites like Green Chile Stew (Chile

Verde) and Chocolate Cherry Bread Pudding, which are neither

complicated nor expensive just yummy.

In dishes such as Jalape o Pulled Pork and Buffalo (or Beef)

Osso Buco, she shows how long, slow cooking coaxes rich

flavor from modest ingredients. A special overnight marinade

adds zing to Spicy Southwestern Leg of Lamb, and cool

sweet-tart Cherry Mint Sauce also adds bright color. Smoked

Sausage Strata waits all day in the fridge for a final bake

when you get home from work. For dessert, Marilyn's Arroz

con Leche y Chocolate is a sublimely comforting Southwestern

version of rice pudding, easily made in a slow cooker.
