Laura Seago1/27Margarita's Creole Chicken-Stuffed Mofongo
You can make this traditional Puerto Rican dish with a food processor, but for even more authentic flavor, use a pilón, or a wooden mortar and pestle.

The Seattle Mariners served "Ichirolls" in honor of all-star Ichiro Suzuki.

It may not seem like very much filling, but these handheld pastries deliver the perfect filling-to-crust ratio (and if you overstuff the dough, they’ll be impossible to seal).

Dress up this humble cut of meat by rolling it around a stuffing of mushrooms and greens.
12/27Grilled Branzino with Cilantro-Mint Relish
Grilling whole fish is not as tricky as it sounds. We tie ours with kitchen twine, which makes them easy to handle.

Boudin Blanc—or sausage—stuffings are a good choice for leaner cuts like this turkey breast recipe with chestnuts.
