Vegetarian
Garlicky Blender Aioli
There are a lot of aioli recipes out there. This one uses a coddled egg instead of raw, and the blender method ensures a successful emulsion.
DIY Dried Chiles
Red chiles are the best for drying.
Red Chile Hot Sauce
Splash liberally on fried eggs, toss with grilled veg, or spread on a sub.
Fresh Fennel and Arugula With Meyer Lemon Dressing
I love crunchy fennel and peppery arugula dressed with a slightly sweet dressing made from Meyer lemons—a fresh-tasting pick-me-up. Meyer lemons are only available in the wintertime, so if you can’t find them, use regular lemon juice and replace a third of it with fresh orange juice.
Grilled Cheese Tacos
Salty, smoky grilled halloumi is the star of this tasty, satisfying vegetarian option for the grill.
Food Processor Pizza Dough
This simple pizza dough comes together quickly and is perfect for a thin crust pizza like "Trenton Tomato Pie" Pizza. The overnight rest is key for texture and flavor development.
Naan
The key to cooking this yeast-risen, yogurt-enriched Indian flat bread at home is a hot cast iron skillet.
Why You're Probably Undercooking Your Green Beans
Don't blame yourself. Blame your childhood.
There's a New Toast in Town
Move over, avocado toast. Sweet potato toast has arrived.
Brown Butter Cornbread Muffins with Sweet Tea Glaze
This spin on the home cooking favorite is a nod to a classic Southern combination: iced tea and cornbread. Here, the tea makes a sweet and shiny glaze and the delicate sweetness of fresh corn kernels balances out the buttery bread. Muffins are perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts, but you could also make it in a cast-iron skillet and serve family style. Beware, your overnight guests may never leave.
Everyday Yellow Dal
Think of dal as similar in use to gravy—in other words, not a side dish or its own course. It is eaten on rice or with flatbreads, or with dry curries, and vegetables; it is meant as part of a meal.
Zucchini, Potato, and Fontina Pizzettas
Because when you call it a pizzetta, it's totally okay to have an extra slice.
Quick-Pickled Strawberries
After you finish pickling the strawberries, hang on to the brine, which can be used in place of mild vinegars.
Blueberry–Chia Seed Jam
Preserve those last summer berries with this quick and easy jam. Then slather it on toast, whisk it into a fruity salad dressing, or swirl into store-bought ice cream.
Red Curry–Marinated Japanese Eggplant
Japanese eggplants are smaller, sweeter, and faster-cooking than other types. If using globe eggplants, slice them into half-inch rounds.
Mushrooms with Béarnaise Yogurt
A classic steakhouse-inspired rub and sauce turn grilled mushrooms into a decadent, meaty meal.
Grilled Brined Vegetables
As long as you don’t mess with the ratio of vinegar, sugar, and salt, you can experiment with other spices, like fennel and coriander seeds, in this brine.
Blistered Green Beans with Garlic and Miso
Don’t rush to shake the pan and toss the green beans before they blister; they need a little time to char.
