2 tsp. baking powder
1/3 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter

(^1) 1/2 lb. skinless, boneless
chicken thighs
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 cup fresh or frozen
peas



  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. In a
    saucepan heat 21/2 cups milk over
    medium until just steaming.

  2. In a large bowl stir together


(^2) 1/2 cups flour, the baking powder,
and 1 tsp. salt. Add oil and 1 cup
warm milk. Stir until dough is just
mixed. (Lumps are OK.) If it’s
too dry and hasn’t come together,
stir in additional milk 1 Tbsp. at
a time. If dough is too wet, add
1 Tbsp. flour and stir once. Dough
should drop like biscuit batter from
a spoon. Set aside.



  1. Meanwhile, in an extra-large
    oven-safe skillet melt butter over
    medium. Add chicken, onion, carrots,
    and celery; sprinkle with salt and
    black pepper. Cook 10 to 15
    minutes or until chicken is cooked
    through but not browned,
    turning occasionally. Cut into
    bite-size pieces.

  2. Return chicken to skillet.
    Sprinkle with remaining 2 Tbsp. flour.
    Reduce heat to medium-low.
    Cook just until flour turns golden.
    Slowly pour in remaining 11/2 cups
    milk. Simmer, stirring occasionally,
    until sauce coats the back of
    a spoon. Stir in peas; season to taste.

  3. Drop dough mixture onto filling
    1 heaping Tbsp. at a time. (Space
    mounds of dough as evenly as you
    can, but don’t bother to spread
    them.) Bake 15 to 20 minutes or
    until mixture is bubbling and crust is
    golden. Serve immediately.

hands-on time 40 min.
total time 1 hr. 10 min.

1 lb. parsnips, peeled and cut into
1-inch chunks
1 red onion, quartered
1 cup pitted green olives
1/2 cup dried apricots
1/2 cup pitted dates
1/2 cup raw almonds
4 cloves garlic, smashed
3 Tbsp. olive oil, plus more for pie
plate and brushing onto phyllo
1 Tbsp. ras el hanout
1 cup fresh cilantro, thicker stems
removed, chopped
1 lemon (zest and, if desired, juice)
1/2 of a 16-oz. pkg. phyllo dough,
thawed in refrigerator overnight
1 Tbsp. powdered sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon


  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a food
    processor combine parsnips, onion,
    olives, apricots, dates, almonds, and
    garlic. Pulse until pieces are pea-size,
    working in batches if necessary and
    scraping down sides as needed.

  2. In a large skillet heat 3 Tbsp. oil
    over medium-high. Add parsnip
    mixture and 1 cup water. Sprinkle with
    salt and black pepper. Cook 10 to
    15 minutes or until parsnips soften and
    pan is mostly dry, stirring occasionally
    and adjusting heat so mixture sizzles
    without burning. Add ras el hanout.
    Cook 1 minute or until fragrant. Turn
    off heat. Stir in cilantro and lemon
    zest. Season to taste, adding a little
    lemon juice if desired.

  3. Oil a 9-inch pie plate. Cut eight
    sheets phyllo into 9-inch squares.
    (Discard scraps.) Place one square in
    bottom of pie plate, allowing corners
    to hang over rim. Brush phyllo with
    oil. Top with a phyllo sheet at a
    45-degree angle. Brush with oil.
    Repeat with two more sheets, fanning
