One-Pot Chicken With Pearl Couscous and Preserved Lemon
Nigella Lawson has mastered the art of creating recipes that balance comfort and appeal — especially when chicken is involved. This recipe, adapted from my cookbook, “Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share With People You Love” (Random House, 2025), is a play on her essential one-pot chicken with orzo. It’s a do-it-all dish that’ll make you feel both satisfied and cared for, whether you prefer dark or white meat; the sweetness of Medjool dates or the funk, salt and acid of preserved lemon; an abundance of braising juices or the playful chewiness of pearl couscous.
Tomato and Cucumber Salad
This adaptation of a Madhur Jaffrey recipe is lovely in its simplicity. Yellow or gold cherry tomatoes are especially summery here, but any color of tomato will work — as will large ones, sliced or wedged if you wish. But try, if you can, to find the curry leaves at an Indian grocery. They add a subtle fragrance.
Slow Cooker Lamb Stew With Chickpeas
This rustic dinner party dish requires minimal preparation and lets time do the work to achieve meltingly tender results. Dried chickpeas become velvety under the slow cooker's patient heat, forming a hearty base for succulent lamb without any soaking or searing. Warm spices, garlic and lemon complement and brighten the stew's robust flavors. Serve blanketed in fresh herbs, with flatbread or rice to sop up the rich juices.
Turmeric Chicken Skewers With Green Olive Yogurt
These skewers offer a simple yet delicious way to bring the bold flavors of Moroccan cuisine to your table using a handful of spices. But what truly sets this dish apart is the green olive yogurt sauce; the creamy, tangy addition ties everything together. Inspired by the way olives are paired with chicken in Moroccan tagines, this briny sauce balances the warm spices. It's perfect for gatherings but just as great for busy weeknights, and while grilling adds depth, a grill pan works beautifully, too. Serve with a simple tomato salad, roasted or grilled vegetables or flatbread.
Crunchy Queso Wrap
A wildly popular novelty snack from Taco Bell, the Crunchwrap Supreme combines elements of a burrito with the tidier portability of a sandwich, in a stacked, layered and wrapped tortilla package. It delights for two practical reasons (low cost and convenience) and two culinary ones (crunch and cheesiness). An at-home version is a fun party trick — and it is endlessly customizable. Once you cook up the assertively spiced ground beef, the rest of this recipe is basically assembly: Start with the largest flour tortillas you can find, then layer on the meat (or crispy tofu, or refried beans), cloak it in queso, stack a tostada on top, pile on some chipotle sour cream, lettuce and pico de gallo, then fold and sear. Would you spend less buying just one at a Taco Bell? Yes, but your ratio of filling to tortilla will be paltry compared to this homemade version, which cheaply and happily feeds a crowd.
