February's Best Recipes

Here are our recipe tester's favorite recipes from the last month:
Patatas Bravas with Fried Eggs and Chorizo
Ryan Poli of Chicago's Tavernita adds pan-fried chorizo and eggs to this tapas-bar standard.
Shrimp Rillettes
This sweet and spicy spread from Atlanta-based chef Linton Hopkins is equally at home at a dinner party or among your beer-slugging sports buddies.
Riesling-Poached Pineapple with Rosemary Whipped Cream and Pink Peppercorns
Valentine's Day Recipe: Chocolate–Rosemary Bombolini

We think that dainty, sugar-dusted bombolini, the Italian analogue of the doughnut hole, are the perfect candidate, and we'd be thrilled to receive a box from Washington-based pastry chef Matthew Kelley; his elegant, pillow-soft bombolini are filled with a silky chocolate ganache that's brightened with the lush scent and flavor of rosemary. Get the recipe here.
