chicken and rice

Edy Massiah, chef and owner of Edy’s Grocer in Brooklyn, NY is making riz a jej, a Lebanese spiced rice and chicken dish that takes him right back to his childhood.

Leah Cohen, chef and author of “Lemongrass and Lime: Southeast Asian Cooking at Home,” is making arroz caldo, one of her favorite Filipino comfort foods.

The Empanada is a dish in which the fillings change from country to country and from city to city.
