Global Flavors & Fusion recipes Page 11

Dishes from Japan, India, Thailand, Mexico, Italy and beyond, plus a few fusion twists, for cooks who want bold flavors at home. The range runs from snacks and sides to full dinners: Chicken Karaage, Chicken Biryani, Spicy Chickpea Curry, Thai Cucumber Salad, Grilled Mexican Street Corn and Spaghetti and Meatballs. Fusion ideas sit alongside them, such as Southwest Egg Rolls, Vegetarian Banh Mi and Mediterranean Crispy Feta Rolls.

Several recipes teach a single building block you can reuse, like chimichurri or a homemade Southwest seasoning. For a party, look at the dips, samosa bites and skewers. For a slower weekend project, try gumbo or Beef Wellington. Spice level and technique vary, so check each recipe's method before you shop.
