4 dishes from Nevada, cooked the way the place cooks them.
A pot of red beans cooked slowly with onion, garlic and Spanish chorizo, where the sausage fat and the paprika do all the colouring and nothing is fried first.
Lamb shoulder browned hard, then stewed down with onions, sweet peppers and paprika until the meat gives and the sauce turns the colour of the peppers.
Shrimp poached four minutes in a seasoned pot, shocked cold, and packed into a stemmed glass over a sauce built on horseradish rather than sugar.
One enormous round loaf baked in a greased Dutch oven, where the dough rises until it lifts the lid and then browns against the iron on every side.
