+-->
+
+## Ingredients
+- 1.5 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
+- 1 lb Cremini or button mushrooms
+- 3 tbsp Butter
+- 1 medium Onion
+- 3 cloves Garlic
+- 1 cup Chicken broth
+- 1 cup Heavy cream
+- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
+- 1/2 tsp Dried Rosemary
+- 2 cups Fresh spinach (optional)
+- Salt and Black Pepper
+- Parsley for garnish
+
+## Steps
+1. **Prep the Chicken and Veggies:** Start by cutting the 1.5 lbs of chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch each. Season them generously with salt and black pepper. Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth (do not soak them) and slice them thickly. Dice the medium onion finely and mince the 3 cloves of garlic.
+2. **Sear the Chicken:** Place a large Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high heat and melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Once the butter foams, add the chicken pieces in a single layer. Do this in two batches if necessary to ensure they brown rather than steam. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. They don't need to be cooked through yet. Remove the chicken to a plate.
+3. **Sauté Mushrooms and Aromatics:** In the same pot, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to let them brown. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they release their moisture and start to caramelize. Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Finally, stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and rosemary, cooking for just 1 minute until fragrant.
+4. **Deglaze and Simmer:** Pour in the 1 cup of chicken broth. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pot, releasing the flavorful browned bits (fond). Bring the liquid to a simmer. Return the browned chicken and any rested juices back into the pot.
+5. **Cream and Reduce:** Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the 1 cup of heavy cream. Let the stew simmer gently, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes. The sauce will reduce and thicken naturally as the water evaporates and the cream concentrates. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
+6. **Finish and Serve:** If using spinach, stir it in during the last 2 minutes of cooking until just wilted. Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving hot.

Professional food photography, high detailed, appetizing, 4k resolution, soft natural lighting.
+-->
+
+## Ingredients
+- 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
+- 2 tablespoons olive oil
+- 1 medium onion, chopped
+- 2 stalks celery, sliced
+- 1 lb radishes, trimmed and halved (or quartered if large)
+- 3 cloves garlic, minced
+- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
+- 4 cups beef bone broth
+- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 3 sprigs fresh)
+- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
+- 2 bay leaves
+- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
+
+## Steps
+1. **Prepare the Beef:** Begin by cutting the beef chuck roast into uniform 1-inch cubes. Use paper towels to pat each piece thoroughly dry; this is crucial for achieving a deep, flavorful sear. Generously season the beef cubes on all sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
+2. **Sear the Meat:** Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering and hot, add the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Sear the cubes until they are deeply browned and crusty on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the browned beef to a plate and set aside.
+3. **Sauté Aromatics:** Reduce the heat to medium. In the same pot (don't wash it, those browned bits are flavor gold!), add the chopped onion and sliced celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the celery has begun to soften.
+4. **Build the Flavor Base:** Add the minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste to the pot. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes. You want the tomato paste to darken slightly and the garlic to become fragrant, but be careful not to let it burn.
+5. **Deglaze the Pot:** Pour in about half a cup of the beef broth. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up all the browned bits (fond) stuck to the bottom of the pot. This step incorporates all that concentrated beef flavor into the liquid.
+6. **Combine and Simmer:** Return the seared beef and any accumulated juices to the pot. Add the remaining beef broth, the halved radishes, thyme, rosemary sprig, and bay leaves. The liquid should just cover the meat and vegetables.
+7. **The Long Simmer:** Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and let it simmer very gently. Check it periodically to ensure it's not boiling too hard. Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and the radishes have softened to a potato-like consistency.
+8. **Final Adjustments:** Once the beef is tender, remove the lid. If you prefer a slightly thicker sauce, you can let it simmer uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and the rosemary sprig. Taste the broth and add more salt or pepper if necessary. Serve hot in deep bowls.

Tender pork shoulder is slow-cooked with a blend of chilies and spices until it falls apart, then crisped up for texture.. Professional food photography, high detailed, appetizing, 4k resolution, soft natural lighting.
+-->
+
+## Ingredients
+- 3 lbs Pork shoulder (Boston butt), cut into large chunks
+- 2 tbsp Olive oil
+- 1 large Onion, chopped
+- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
+- 2 Jalapeño peppers, seeded and diced
+- 1 tbsp Chili powder
+- 1 tbsp Ground cumin
+- 1 tsp Dried oregano (Mexican oregano if available)
+- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
+- 1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper (adjust for heat)
+- Salt and black pepper to taste
+- 1/2 cup Beef broth or water
+- 1/4 cup Fresh lime juice
+- Fresh cilantro for garnish
+
+## Steps
+1. **Preparation:** Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder but leave enough for flavor. Cut the pork into 3-4 inch chunks. Pat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
+2. **Sear the Meat:** Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the pork chunks until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove the browned pork and set aside on a plate.
+3. **Sauté Aromatics:** In the same pot, add the chopped onion and diced jalapeños. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
+4. **Spice Bloom:** Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Toast the spices for 30 seconds to release their oils.
+5. **Simmer:** Pour in the beef broth and lime juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot (deglazing). Return the pork and any accumulated juices to the pot.
+6. **Slow Cook:** Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Simmer gently for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the pork is very tender and shreds easily with a fork. Check occasionally to ensure there is still some liquid; add a splash more broth if needed.
+7. **Shred:** Remove the pork from the pot. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Discard any large remaining pieces of fat.
+8. **Crisp (Optional but Recommended):** For traditional carnitas texture, spread the shredded pork on a baking sheet. Broil on high for 3-5 minutes until the edges are crispy and caramelized. Watch closely to prevent burning.
+9. **Serve:** Toss the meat with a little of the remaining cooking juices from the pot for moisture. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
