Shrimp in Achiote Oil
In this Filipino dish, achiote oil bathes the shrimp in an amber hue, and citrus lends a bright, tart note.
Ricotta Gnocchi with Asparagus, Peas, and Morels
Chef Nemo Bolin at Cook & Brown Public House in Providence, RI, turned us on to the technique for this streamlined, no-knead gnocchi dough.
Green Garlic and Pea Soup with Whipped Cream
The key to a vibrant green (not khaki) soup: Bring the water up to a boil quickly over high heat, and err on undercooking the peas to preserve their color.
Grilled Hanger Steak with Cucumber Salad
We're hooked on the juicy and crunchy textures and sweet and spicy flavors in this steak and salad pairing.
Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb with New Potatoes
This recipe calls for fairly small racks of lamb, about a pound each. If your lamb is larger, the cooking time will increase, but you can get away with serving single, not double, chops.
Nutty Shamrock Shake
This pistachio-flavored shake puts a nutty twist on the traditional mint-flavored version.
Pecan Buttermilk Fudge
A confection similar in flavor to caramelized white chocolate. Tangy buttermilk tempers the sweetness.
Slow-Cooked Salmon, Chickpeas, and Greens
Flay often uses terracotta dishes called cazuelas for this recipe.
Spice-Crusted Carrots with Harissa Yogurt
The sugar in the spice rub can burn if cooked too long, so watch these closely.
Sunday Sauce with Sausage and Braciole
Ask anybody's nonna: Making Sunday sauce is not an exact science. You can use other meats—like thick pork chops or short ribs—in place of or in addition to the ones listed here.
Herbed Faux-tisserie Chicken and Potatoes
You can roast a chicken in less time, but going low-and-slow yields a meltingly tender, shreddable texture.
Orange Mint Julep
This julep riff from Bobby Flay tastes fresh and not too sweet.
Caraway Cabbage Chips with Dill Yogurt
Cabbage is my new favorite vegetable chip—especially sprinkled with toasted caraway and dipped in yogurt.
Creamed Swiss Chard with Lemony Breadcrumbs
Unlike a heavy béchamel, this streamlined cream sauce won't mask the earthy-sweet flavor of the greens.
Nutty Crunch Cookies
If you can't find blanched hazelnuts, simply toast and skin regular ones.
Lemon Buttermilk Pie with Saffron
Blind-baking the crust is essential: It keeps it from getting soggy when the custardy filling is added.
