Shortcut Chilaquiles
Chilaquiles, a traditional Mexican dish made with fried tortillas simmered in red or green salsa, has become a popular breakfast item because it begs to be topped with a couple of fried eggs. This cheater's version is made with a fresh tomato (or tomatillo) salsa that doesn't require a blender, and tortilla chips or broken tostadas instead of fried tortillas. The perfect texture here is softened but not soggy; you want to make sure the chips are tossed evenly with the sauce, but not so much that they get lost in it. Fried eggs are the perfect complement here, as the crisp-edged white provides texture and the yolk a rich sauciness. But it would be just as delicious served underneath or alongside a pile of soft scrambled eggs.
Poached Pears With Asian Spices
Country Pork and Apple Hash
This is a boardinghouse breakfast of the very highest tier, taken from the chef Robert Newton of Seersucker in Brooklyn: leftover roast pork, chopped into a hash of potatoes and apples, then crisped in sweet butter. Add a few eggs, some sauteed dandelion greens, endless cups of coffee and the magic of weekend conversation.
Apples With Cake Topping
Apple Sauce Tart
Apple Charlotte
Mushroom Hash With Black Rice
When I made this hash, I thought hard about adding cooked grain to the chopped mushrooms, as they’re so good on their own. You may choose to serve this without the black rice, but add it if you want a more substantial dish.

Smoked Trout Hash With Tomatillo Salsa
Baked Pâte à Choux
A piping bag (an inexpensive investment, and it lasts forever) is the easiest way to form the dough into whatever shape you choose, but you can always use a plastic freezer bag with one corner snipped off, or two spoons. The imperfections that occur with a plastic bag or spoons can be repaired by dipping your finger into water and smoothing out the rough spots.
Beet Greens and Potato Hash
This recipe begins as if you were making hash brown potatoes, but then you add beets and their greens and end up with a much more nutritious, and decidedly pink, dish. If you have leftovers and want to do something different with them, warm and toss this hash with a vinaigrette for a delicious potato salad.
Spicy Carrot, Parsnip and Potato Latkes
Indian flavors add a new dimension to potato latkes. I love the Indian flavors in these irresistible latkes. The heat comes from the chiles, the spice from the nigella seeds.
Duck Dumplings
Spicy Quiche
Buckwheat Crêpes With Caramelized Apples
Buckwheat crêpes have wonderful earthy/nutty flavor. They are equally at home with a sweet or savory topping. If you have any caramelized apples left over, stir them into your yogurt for breakfast.
Parsley Pesto
A twist on the typical basil recipe, this pesto combines flat-leaf parsley and some mint. It’s marvelous on sandwiches and pizza and, if you thin it out with a little pasta water, it’s a great addition to spaghetti. Shower the dressed bowl with Parmesan and serve.
Tacos with Roasted Potatoes, Squash and Peppers (Rajas)
You can turn the heat up or down on this taco, depending on your taste for spiciness. Season the potatoes, onions and squash before roasting. A comforting filling that you can heat up or tone down, depending on your taste for spicy. If you like heat, use a preponderance of poblanos and Anaheims for your peppers; if not, use more bell peppers. I season the potatoes, onions and squash with cumin and chili powder before I roast them, and serve the tacos with a cooked salsa ranchera.
Chard and Sweet Corn Tacos
These sweet and spicy tacos can be filled with chard of any color, or other greens like beet greens or amaranth. I used Swiss chard for these tacos, but other greens like beet greens or amaranth will work. I don’t recommend strong-tasting cruciferous greens like kale, though. You can use green chard, red chard or rainbow, and do include the stalks if they’re nice and wide. Don’t skimp on the garlic. As for the salsa, you can choose between fresh or cooked tomato salsa, or use a salsa verde made with tomatillos. They all work well. A quarter cup of filling is plenty for each taco.

Baked Frittata With Yogurt, Chard and Green Garlic
Inspired by the signature Provençal chard omelet called truccha, this beautiful baked frittata incorporates thick Greek yogurt and lots of green garlic. It will puff up in the oven, but then it settles back down. Use a generous bunch of chard for this – green, red or rainbow – and save the stalks to use in the chard stalk and chickpea purée that I’m also posting this week. I like to serve the frittata at room temperature, or I grab a cold slice for lunch. It’s a wonderfully portable dish. The filling can be prepared through Step 4 up to 3 days ahead. The frittata keeps well for 2 or 3 days in the refrigerator.
Sautéed Beets With Pasta, Sage and Brown Butter
Give a cook a beet, and he’ll probably do one of two things with it: Reject it for fear of turning the kitchen into a juicy red crime scene, or roast it and serve it with goat cheese. I can take this marriage or leave it, but even if you love it, you must admit that it only scratches the surface of what beets have to offer. More than half the time that I prepare beets, I begin by shredding them in a food processor. After that, you can serve them raw with a simple dressing, or you can stir-fry them in a skillet to brown them slightly, which brings out their sweetness like nothing else. This recipe employs the latter technique (with the addition of sage) then calls for tossing the beets with pasta. A finishing of grated Parmesan is a salty counterpoint to the caramelized sweetness of the beets.
