5 Recipes That Bring the Heat

It’s getting hot in here. 🔥 [logo]( Sunday Recipe Inspiration Batch 485 [Middle Eastern Meat Flatbreads (Lahm Bi Ajeen)]( Jessica Battilana Staff Editor Back in 2008, researchers at the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology published a study that confirmed what we home cooks already knew: Eating spicy foods can make you feel warmer. This is especially welcome news in March, a month that tends toward gloomy. I'm putting the science to the test this weekend, starting with our new recipe for [Lahm Bi Ajeen](, wonderful meat-topped flatbreads. Popular throughout the Middle East, ours are made with ground lamb and get some heat from the addition of harissa, a red pepper condiment. (The spicier your harissa, the spicier your flatbreads.) Next up: our [Sesame-Crusted Spicy Pizza](. The creamy tomato sauce is spiked with a generous amount of red pepper flakes, a perfect balance to the pillowy, sesame-crusted dough. Use this [Detroit-style pizza pan]( for extra crunchy edges. Another recipe I'm bookmarking to make soon: this [Tamal de Cazuela](, which features a [masa harina]( crust, a spiced meat filling, and a sauce that used two types of dried chiles for layered flavor and heat. And because there is still snow on the ground and I've got my bag of masa out, I'm going to make [champurrado](, the original hot chocolate drink, and pair it with these [Spiced Hot Cocoa Cookies with Marshmallow Middles](. They contain lots of [bittersweet chocolate]( and [cocoa](, and thrum with gentle heat from a pinch of cayenne pepper.
