Garlic Soup
This superior recipe comes from chef Juanjo López of La Tasquita de Enfrente in Madrid.
Farro and Swiss Chard Salad With Grapefruit Vinaigrette
A farmer at my market recently was selling huge, sturdy bunches of Swiss chard, the kind I used to cook with in France, with wide ribs and heavy leaves. One bunch weighed almost 2 pounds; the leaves alone, off the stems, weighed in at about 13 ounces. I used the greens for more than one dish, including this substantial salad, to which I also added diced sautéed chard ribs.
Cajun Cornbread Casserole
The vegan chef Lindsay S. Nixon is giving Well readers a sneak peek at her new cookbook, “Everyday Happy Herbivore: Over 175 Quick-and-Easy Fat-Free and Low-Fat Vegan Recipes." This delicious and spicy cornbread-topped casserole is a complete meal, with grains, beans and vegetables all in one dish. Serve with hot sauce on the table.
Kasha With Squash and Pomegranate
This salad works equally well with kasha or freekeh, both of which have a nutty-earthy flavor that serves as a great backdrop for sweet roasted butternut squash and sweet-tart, crunchy pomegranate seeds. Lately I have gotten into the habit of roasting diced butternut squash to keep on hand in the refrigerator for a few days; I usually don’t know in advance what I am going to use it for; then one night it finds its way into a salad like this one, the next night into a risotto, and so on until it is time to roast up another one. Four cups diced squash looks like a lot, but it reduces down to about 1 1/2 cups when you roast it, so you will use it up quickly (I use all of it, for example, in this salad).
Mediterranean Fish Chowder With Potatoes and Kale
This brothy fish stew gets extra body and heft from the kale and potatoes, and a hint of the Mediterranean from thyme, parsley and bay leaf. The method is straightforward. First make a mirepoix of onion, celery and carrot. Add garlic, anchovies and parsley, followed by the tomatoes and paste, and finally the potatoes and bouquet garni. Simmer for 30 minutes while the kale is cooked separately, then add the fish. Take care not to overcook the fish — it’s done as soon as it flakes easily when you nudge it with a fork.
Broccoli, Quinoa and Purslane Salad
Slice the raw broccoli very thin for this delicious salad. If you can’t find purslane you can substitute mâche.
Dijon Rice With Broccoli
The vegan chef Lindsay S. Nixon is giving Well readers a sneak peek at her new cookbook, “Everyday Happy Herbivore: Over 175 Quick-and-Easy Fat-Free and Low-Fat Vegan Recipes." Dijon mustard and broccoli complement each other beautifully and come together to jazz up a side of rice. Since all Dijon mustards and hot sauces are a little different, this recipe is very much “to taste.”
Fennel, Beet and Orange Salad With Cumin Vinaigrette
One of the things I love best about this refreshing salad is that it doesn’t wilt, making it a a great choice for a potluck or a buffet. There’s a nice contrast of textures going on, with the crunchy fennel, soft beets and juicy oranges. The dish has Moroccan overtones, with the combination of oranges and beets, and the cumin in the dressing.
Beet, Orange and Arugula Salad
The oranges in this sweet and pungent salad will look like blood oranges after they sit for a little while with the beets. This makes a pretty Christmas salad. Try to find the wispy wild arugula, which is more pungent than regular arugula.
Pasta, Beans and Tomatoes
Many vegan dishes (like fruit salad and peanut butter and jelly) are already beloved, but the problem faced by many of us is in imagining less-traditional dishes that are interesting and not challenging. Here is a more creative option to try.
Easy Fish Stew With Mediterranean Flavors
This is a typical fisherman’s stew. No need to make a fish stock; water, aromatics and anchovies will suffice. Use anchovies even if you don’t like them, as they add great depth of flavor, not to mention omega-3 fats. And don’t worry: the dish won’t taste like anchovies.
Mango-Tamarind Chutney
This chutney is sweet, hot and a little sour. You could use green mango in place of the ripe mango. Try this chutney with these spicy corn pakoras.
Vegan Pumpkin Soup
Straight from the rum bottle … I mean, pumpkin patch, this curried soup is autumn in a bowl.
Smoky Red Devil Eggs
Standard deviled eggs are undeniably good, but adding a touch of tomato paste and a generous pinch of smoked paprika makes them a bit more sophisticated. The flavor is gently sweet, forcefully spicy and perfectly smoky.
Curried Lentil, Squash and Apple Stew
Infused with curry spices and chock-full of wilted spinach, butternut squash and sweet chunks of apple, this unique lentil stew is fragrant and flavorful beyond belief.
Greens "Quiche"
This vegan take on quiche is from the chef Lindsay S. Nixon's cookbook “Everyday Happy Herbivore: Over 175 Quick-and-Easy Fat-Free and Low-Fat Vegan Recipes." Ms. Nixon said, “I developed this recipe to save a bunch of greens that were languishing in my fridge. It’ll work with any leafy greens you have on hand, particularly sturdy greens like kale, chard and collards, and although it’s crustless, it firms up nicely so you can cut perfect pieces. Who knew wilty leftovers could taste so good?”
Enfrijoladas
This is one simple dish you can make if you have corn tortillas in the freezer and black beans in the pantry. Enfrijoladas are comforting enchiladas made by drenching corn tortillas in creamy, coarsely pureed black beans, folding them into quarters, and serving them in more of the black bean sauce. The authentic ones are garnished with Mexican queso fresco, but they are delicious without cheese. Cilantro or epazote is optional – I didn’t have any; it is the black beans that make this dish what it is.
Oatmeal and Teff With Cinnamon and Dried Fruit
I wanted to make a porridge with teff alone, but I just didn’t like the flavor enough. So I added some of those tiny high-protein, high-calcium, gluten-free seeds to oatmeal, along with chopped dried apricots, golden raisins and cinnamon. Chopped toasted hazelnuts are my first choice for topping.
Simple Provençal Winter Squash Gratin
I’ve offered a few winter squash gratin recipes over the years, but none as simple as this one. There’s little more than squash here, seasoned with lots of garlic and fresh herbs. Dicing all the squash takes time, but then the work is just about done. If you want to use a food processor, you can, but you can’t get even pieces that way. The recipe is based on one of my favorite recipes in Richard Olney’s book “Simple French Food.”
Salmon in Fig Leaves
While this salmon dish evokes pure summer in California, it’s easily done almost anywhere. The salmon is king salmon, and its season is summer, which coincides perfectly with the ripening of figs in all but the northernmost parts of the country. There is nothing better than a good fig, but for this recipe, incorporate the underused leaves, which make a perfect package for the fish, contributing a kind of nutty flavor to it.
Clam Pasta With Basil and Hot Pepper
The beauty of this dish is that the clams can be steamed in the time it takes to cook the pasta, so the whole affair can be put together quite rapidly. High heat and a covered pot will have the shells open in minutes.
Gluten-Free Pumpkin Muffins With Crumble Topping
Silvana Nardone, the founding editor of the food magazine Every Day With Rachel Ray, developed this recipe for her gluten-intolerant son, Isaiah. If you'd like, stir a handful of dried cranberries or 1/4 cup chopped walnuts into the batter for added texture and crunch.
Banana Oatmeal Almond Smoothie
My bananas were ripening so quickly last summer that every week I froze one or two, knowing I would use them for smoothies at some point. When you freeze bananas, peel them first, then double wrap in plastic. I bulked up this smoothie with oatmeal, which I first soaked until it was softened in just enough water to cover.
Date Smoothie With Brown Rice and Almond Milk
This is inspired by Bryant Terry’s recipe for date-sweetened almond milk, which I came across in his wonderful cookbook “Afro-Vegan.” You could use commercial almond milk, but it will taste much richer if you make your own. Blanch and skin almonds (it goes quickly), soak overnight, blend and strain. The smoothie is a simple one, subtly sweetened by the dates, and mildly nutty. If you want to introduce another flavor into the mix add a half banana. I liked it both ways but I think I prefer the simpler version, so I have made the banana optional.
