The recipe we use cooks down whole oranges, but I’m sure the one you linked works just as well.
I know, but this had whole oranges. Sorry, this looked better than others to me.
This is the recipe I use:
This looks similar to what @DaBadger posted, in that it purees whole oranges in a blender. It doesn’t boil down whole oranges. I think I misunderstood what @linguafood posted, and would be interested in seeing that method too (boiling down whole oranges)

I made this tonight and we liked it a lot.
I also will make these lamb meatballs again:

And Cumberland sauce. I made it with Sherry instead of Port, and omitted the zest.

I didn’t cook a lot this year (or at least, not very many new dishes), but found a few real hits (the first two of which were from COTMs from previous years):
-
OVEN-ROASTED CHICKEN TIKKA (MURGH NA TIKKA), served with CHAAT SALAD and MINT CHUTNEY from MADE IN INDIA, Meera Sodha
What a great combo - easy to make and such a delicious meal. -
PORK SATAY with the CUCUMBER RELISH and EASY PEANUT SAUCE from SIMPLE THAI FOOD, Leela Punyaratabandhu
I loved this one so much I made it several times, with pork and with chicken (preferred pork). I also found that I liked the easy sauce even better than the slightly more difficult version, which is a huge win. -
TARTINE’S SOFT GLAZED GINGERBREAD
What a great recipe - spicy and a delicious texture! -
CRANBERRIES AND CREAM CHEESE DANISH from Baking for the Holidays by Sarah Kieffer (and also the CHEATER CROISSANT DOUGH it uses).
I was convinced this recipe would be a huge failure, but we were wowed by these. such delicious filling and the croissant was nearly professional bakery quality!

Yes, that’s the link I used! Sorry, should have added it. Highly recommend it - we liked it both with and without the glaze.

Do you have a khachapuri recipe you could share?
I’ve got the dough proving in the fridge for pizza tomorrow — no 00 here, so I’m using a mix of local flours instead. Fingers crossed.
Could you paraphrase the curry one? I don’t have the subscription and I’m curious how different it is than when I bust out a fast Thai curry. I usually eyeball fish sauce, brown sugar, a curry paste - red recently - then a can of coconut milk. After it’s cooked and melded for a bit, I’ll add tofu and some type of veg or meat that I’ve usually pre-sautteed. Basil on top if I have it.
I haven’t tried them all, but NYT always knows it’s me, whether I’m icognito or not, and won’t let me in. Some of these sites I believe are more sophisticated and can tell the IP address you’re pinging them from.

I thought I’d posted a gift link in my original comment - guess not. As a subscriber, I get to share 10 recipes per month, and repeat recipes are free 
FWIW, even for just the two of us I use the entire can of maesri curry paste. I often also add cod or shrimp and bok choy or red peppers to up the veg & protein content. I really love its versatility, and I love the flavors.

I did a poor job of cooking from recipes and didn’t repeat very many. Especially if I’m limited to ones I discovered last year. But one that fits the bill is Samin Nosrat’s linguine vongole, which is wonderful. I believe @mariacarmen tipped me off to that one. And since I have the book, now I’m eager to try the chicken recipe that @linguafood likes.
One more from last year that I used over and over is this sourdough starter and then the recipe using AP flour and their starter for sourdough no knead. https://www.theclevercarrot.com/2020/04/artisan-sourdough-with-all-purpose-flour/
The discard came in handy for this lovely pizza dough. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/sourdough-pizza-crust-recipe

i had to check, but yes, apparently i did make that vongole dish! probably with my sister’s fresh pasta. maybe time to make it again soon.
Gah, i was so into my sourdough starter and making bread in 2020-2021, and now i just have this deflated little starter sitting sadly in the fridge. i never really liked anything I made with the discard. i should really put the poor thing to rest.
There was a time that I was baking a couple loaves a month. Now it’s more like a loaf every couple of months. But the starter always works for me. As long as I take it out 2 days ahead and start feeding it again. Have you tried that? Then again, if you’re not using it and it takes up space…

i did do that, and it worked fine, i just kind of lost interest. mostly because i was the only one eating the bread and my waistline doesn’t need that!

I didn’t care much about the bread i baked with my starter, but I loved two things that called for the discard: (1)sourdough discard crackers. made them religiously for quite some time. (2) discard English muffins. I also made pancakes with the discard but less frequently because that’s quite an extravagance.
