Northern Greek Mushroom and Onion Pie
Use portobello mushrooms for this. They are meaty and make for a very substantial pie. You can omit the feta for a vegan version of this pie
Greek-Style Kohlrabi Pie or Gratin With Dill and Feta
If you don’t want to bother with the phyllo dough or you want to cut down on carbs or calories, make this as a gratin (see below). It’s delicious either way. Because of the moisture in the kohlrabi, your phyllo will need to be recrisped in a low oven if the pie sits for any length of time.
Baked Ziti or Penne Rigate With Cauliflower
You can add vegetables to just about any baked macaroni dish. Cauliflower works very well in this one, inspired by another Sicilian cauliflower dish in Clifford A. Wright’s “Cucinia Paradiso.”
Greek Cabbage Pie with Dill and Feta
A favorite winter pie in the northern regions of Greece, this is a bit time consuming to make, but worth every minute. Serve it as a vegetarian main course at your next dinner party.
Endive and Potato Gratin With Walnuts
Cooked endive is comfort food, and like raw endive in a salad, it goes very well with walnuts and walnut oil.
Sicilian Cauliflower and Black Olive Gratin
The affinity that cauliflower has with black olives is seen throughout the Mediterranean, from Tunisia to Sicily to Apulia to Greece. This simple gratin from Sicily is traditionally made with green cauliflower, but the result is equally delicious and almost as pretty with the easier-to-obtain white variety.
Roasted Cauliflower With Tahini-Parsley Sauce
This Middle Eastern sauce goes wonderfully with foods other than roasted cauliflower. It’s traditionally served with falafel and keftes, fish, salads, deep-fried vegetables — or just with pita bread.
Sweet Potato, Pumpkin and Apple Puree
This mixture of sweet potatoes, savory pumpkin and tart apples is a variation on my sweet potato puree with apples. For the best flavor, I suggest you make it a day ahead.
Orange Sorbet With Blood Orange Salad
This refreshing dessert - the only one this week that doesn’t involve cooking fruit -- is like a pick-me-up after a rich dinner. Oranges are not only a great source of vitamin C; they’re packed with other phytochemicals called limonoids that are being studied for their anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting and cholesterol-lowering properties. If you can find blood oranges, you’ll get the added benefits of the anthocyanins in the red pigment.
Wheat Berry and Tomato Salad
Whole wheat berries lend themselves to both summer and winter dishes. Much of the flavor in this salad comes from the tangy juice of chopped tomatoes, almost like a marinade for the chewy wheat. The salad is all about texture, with crunchy celery (or cucumber) and soft feta contrasting with wheat.
Morning Couscous With Oranges and Dates
This is a delicious way to enjoy couscous. You can reconstitute the couscous the night before and keep it in the refrigerator overnight. All it will need in the morning is a steam in the microwave and the addition of the oranges.
Vegetable Hash With Poached Egg
This is a clean-out-the-refrigerator sort of hash. I used red onion, red pepper, carrot, celery, kohlrabi and parsnip, all lingering in the produce drawer of my refrigerator. I like the texture of the root vegetables, and because they brown in the pan and there’s ketchup involved, this dish tastes like traditional hash to me.
Sweet Potato and Kale Salad With Roquefort
This is a great salad to make with leftover roasted sweet potatoes but you can also roast them just to make the salad. The trick to succeeding with crispy kale is to make sure it is completely dry before you put it in the oven. If you are using bunched kale I recommend that you stem and wash it, spin it twice in a salad spinner, then set the leaves in single layers on a few layers of paper towels and roll them up. You can then refrigerate for up to a day or two. Once the salad is assembled, the portion of kale that you toss with the sweet potatoes will soften, and the kale that surrounds the sweet potatoes will remain crispy.
Savory Olive Oil Bread With Figs and Hazelnuts
This is an adaptation of a bread in Susan Loomis’s ‘Cooking on Rue Tatin.’ The slightly spicy bread makes a nice hors d’oeuvre, cut in triangles and served with wine.
Raspberry Hazelnut Tart
When Martha Rose Shulman isn't developing Recipes for Health, she ghost-writes pastry cookbooks. If you’re a fan of Recipes for Health, or any of her cookbooks on healthful eating, you may be confused by this revelation. But, as she wrote in 2013, "I believe in a balanced diet, and sweets have a place in it; a little bit of chocolate can do a world of good." Enter this delectable hazelnut tart that she adapted from a recipe by the pastry chef Jacquy Pfeiffer, who founded the French Pastry School in Chicago. It is best eaten the day it is made.
Pan-Fried Broccoli Stems
This was an experiment and now it is a keeper. Peel broccoli stems, slice them thin, and pan-fry in hot oil just until the slices are charred on the edges, then flip over and brown for just a little bit of time on the other side. If you do this just right, the medallions will have edges that are slightly crispy with that wonderful fried flavor, and tender interiors. With a little salt (or even without) they are irresistible. One stem’s worth of medallions will disappear quickly, so count on 1 per person (at least!). Although you will use a fair amount of oil for frying, it doesn’t all get absorbed by the broccoli stems.
Roasted Carrots and Scallions With Thyme and Hazelnuts
I bought incredibly sweet, baby red onions — they look like thick red scallions — and multicolored bunches of carrots from a farmer at my market and roasted them with fresh thyme. Then I sprinkled on some crushed toasted hazelnuts, which contributed a nice crunchy texture and nutty finish to the dish. If you have a bottle of hazelnut oil or walnut oil on hand, a small drizzle just before serving is a welcome touch.
Butternut Squash and Sage Latkes
Winter squash and sage is one of my favorite flavor combinations. Make sure to squeeze as much juice out of the onion as you can before you add it to the other ingredients.
Buckwheat Crêpes
My favorite French street food, these are easy crêpes to make. If you keep them in the freezer, you can pull one out and top it with blanched spinach and a fried or poached egg for a quick and delicious meal. In France the crepe is made on a large, flat, hot griddle, and the egg is cracked right on top of it. That doesn’t work well in a home crêpe pan. It’s easier to have the crêpe already made and then top it with the fried egg.
Frittata With Brown Rice, Peas and Pea Shoots
I often add leftover rice to gratins, something I learned to do in Provence. Here I decided to make a substantial frittata instead, with rice as part of the filling. Although I used brown rice, Calrose, basmati and jasmine rice also work well.
Spicy Carrot and Spinach Latkes
This dish would work as a low-carb alternative to traditional potato latkes. This blend yields 15 to 16 latkes. The addition of nigella seeds adds a nutty, addictive, flavor. As for toppings, you can use the classic sour cream or thick Greek style yogurt, or be a bit more adventurous and try a favorite chutney or raita, a mixture of yogurt and chopped cucumber with spices.
Vegetarian Pho With Asparagus and Noodles
When I make pho with vegetables other than those used to make the broth, as in this springtime pho, I cook the vegetables separately, so as not to infuse their flavor into the broth, and very briefly, so that they retain some crunch. I like to use thick stalks of asparagus and cut them on the diagonal into 2-inch lengths.
Spring Rolls With Beets, Brown Rice, Eggs and Herbs
Uncooked grated beets pair beautifully with spring roll seasonings. The egg “pancakes” contribute protein and an element of comfort to the filling
Cabbage and Pepper Chakchoukah
This is a spicy Tunisian pepper stew with poached eggs, called chakchoukah. In this version, cabbage is substituted for some of the peppers in the traditional version.
