Blueberry or Blackberry Compote with Yogurt or Ricotta
Blueberries don’t need much in the way of sweetener (blackberries are more tart, so you might want to use a little more with them), yet this simple compote will transform a plain bowl of yogurt or ricotta cheese into a dessert – or a very nice breakfast. The compote is modeled on Deborah Madison’s recipe in her lovely book, "Seasonal Fruit Desserts." She sweetens her compote with maple syrup or maple sugar, which is also a lovely way to go. The small amount of cinnamon brings out the essential essence of the berries. I like to add a touch of rose water; the floral essence is beautiful with the berries. Don’t simmer for too long, or the compote will become more like jam – though it is also nice as a sort of jam with toast. Ricotta is richer than yogurt, so I serve less of it with the berries.
Fruit Melange (Fruet Salaad)
Basic Phyllo Dough
It seems scary at first, making your own phyllo dough. But with this recipe, we learn that although phyllo means leaf, that leaf need not be the paper-thin kind we’re used to seeing in Middle Eastern pastry. A Greek chef, Diane Kochilas, gives the lesson here, and she’s not overly careful of the dough, she patches holes where needed and she uses a good amount of olive oil. It’s delicious.
Halloween Waffles
Pear-Apple Butter With Cardamom
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.
Creamy Oat Groats
“Groat” — not to be confused with “grit” — is an old Scottish term for a dehulled oat kernel. Like steel-cut oats, which are just pieces of groat that get broken during dehulling, groats have been prepared and eaten as hot cereal or gruel for centuries, sustaining generations of hard-working farmers and laborers. These days, it’s fortifying the food elite. Quinn and Karen Hatfield of Hatfield’s in Los Angeles use the hearty grain as inspiration for an elegant (some might even say delicate) vegetarian entrée of wild-mushroom “cannelloni.” To make the dish, creamy, hollandaise-enriched groats flecked with herbs and lemon zest are combined with mushrooms and then stuffed into oat crepes.
Cornmeal waffles
Whole-wheat waffles
Pecan Waffles
One of the pleasures of waffle-making is, and always has been, the limitless flavors with which the waffles may be made and served: a blend of flours (such as whole-wheat and regular flour), cornmeal, various cheeses, nuts (such as pecans or hazelnuts), and so on.
Gaufres (French waffles)
Potato Waffles With Smoked Trout
These savory waffles were inspired by the Solomon Gundy waffles at M. Wells Steakhouse in Long Island City, Queens. It starts with a mashed potato waffle batter, which is baked in a waffle iron until very crisp around the edges. They are then opulently topped with crème fraiche (or sour cream), smoked trout and trout or salmon roe. If you can’t find smoked trout, smoked salmon makes a fine substitute. Or try them topped with scrambled or fried eggs. Potato waffles make a terrific savory brunch dish, a light supper, or appetizer before a dinner party — they are unexpected in a festive, delightful way.
Cheese Waffles
One of the pleasures of waffle-making is, and always has been, the limitless flavors with which the waffles may be made and served: a blend of flours (such as whole-wheat and regular flour), cornmeal, various cheeses, nuts (such as pecans or hazelnuts), and so on.
Braised Fresh Bacon
Pecan And Wild Boar Bacon Waffles With Syrup
For Mark Miller, the former owner of the Coyote Cafe in Santa Fe, the ranch breakfast ''was the central meal of the working day. People went out before dawn, worked a few hours, and came together around a huge breakfast table.'' These waffles, which he served at home to weekend guests, are a Southwestern rendition of traditional American fare.
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.
Beef Bone Broth
"Bone broth" has become stylish as part of the Paleo diet, which enthusiastically recommends eating meat and bones. (The idea is to eat like our Paleolithic, pre-agricultural ancestors.) But cooks have known its wonderful qualities for centuries. This robust and savory beef broth — more than a stock, less than a soup — can be the basis for innumerable soups and stews, but it also makes a satisfying and nourishing snack on its own.
Rye Omelet With Duck Pastrami
Breakfast Home Fries
Crab-Meat Quiche
A proper quiche (also known as a tarte salée, or savory open pie) should have really good pastry and contain a soft, tender eggy custard. It should be light enough to serve as a first course, or in larger portions for a simple main course. It should be something to sing about. This is a rosy bisque-like shellfish quiche with a handful of crab meat (use shrimp or lobster if you like).
Spinach and Garlic Omelet
You can use bagged baby spinach or stemmed and washed bunch spinach for this simple omelet with Mediterranean flavors.
Goat Cheese and Apple Omelet
This omelet of green apples and goat cheese is an unusual pairing -- at least in the omelet world -- but a wonderful one from Garrett Oliver, the brewmaster of Brooklyn Brewery. On the day we made this recipe, he paired the dish with a glass of Blanche de Chambly, a Belgian-style wheat beer made in Canada.
