Lisa Ahier
Avocado and Tropical-Fruit Salsa
At the ranch, Lisa Ahier makes this salsa with and without avocado. At Gourmet, we liked it with.
Panfried Almond-and Sesame-Dusted Chicken
Chef Lisa Ahier likes the flavor of Key limes or Mexican limes, which she can buy locally and year-round, for the marinade below. But even if you use regular lime juice, you'll love this chicken, which is as delicious at room temperature as it is hot. In fact, Gourmet's food editors couldn't get enough of it.
