Peas With Poached Eggs
Green Mashed Potatoes
These addictive mashed potatoes are equal parts potatoes and greens, lending texture and fresh flavor to the classic side dish. The amount of oil here is significant, but we all know that what makes mashed potatoes really good is fat. Use the best olive oil you have. (For everything you need to know to make perfect potatoes, visit our potato guide.)
Pork With Peppers and Chickpeas
Chicken and Pepper Stew
This is an adaptation of a classic French bistro dish, poulet Basquaise. The chicken is cooked in a pipérade of onion, garlic, hot and sweet peppers, tomatoes and, in the authentic version, cured ham, which I’ve omitted. In this version I use skinned chicken pieces. Serve with noodles, rice or other grains.
Chinese Pepper Steak
Kohlrabi Home Fries
Kohlrabi can be cut into thick sticks like home fries, browned in a small amount of oil, and seasoned with chili powder (my favorite), curry powder, cumin or paprika. It’s a very satisfying and healthy fry.
Braised Pheasant With Sauerkraut Alsation Style
Hearty Split Pea Soup With Bacon
This is a thick, mellow split pea soup with a whisper of meaty smoke and the brambly fragrance of thyme. The recipe is easy and copious, and the soup freezes well. Look for split peas that have a use-by date on the package and are relatively fresh; they will cook faster and better.
Mark Bittman’s Bouillabaisse
You can make any soup with water instead of stock, but the soups that drive you wild usually have a beautiful stock as their base. This is doubly true of bouillabaisse, which should start with a stock so delicious that you can barely imagine improving on it. There are a few ways to do this: Grab fish bones when you see them, and make the stock incrementally. Another is to use shrimp shells. A third is to accumulate lobster bodies, which make fantastic stock. In any case, you combine whatever you have with some aromatics (thyme branches, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, peppercorns) add water and simmer for 15 to 30 minutes. Cool, strain and freeze if you like. When you're ready to make the soup, procure your seafood – pretty much any combination of fish and shellfish will do, but avoid dark-fleshed fish – and go forth. From there, it's no more difficult than making a pot of vegetable soup.
Bean and Green Herb Stew
This is inspired by a famous Persian stew that is traditionally made with chicken and kidney beans. I came across a vegetarian rendition of the stew in Louisa Shafia’s wonderful new book, “The New Persian Kitchen.” Louisa uses tofu in her stew; I’m just focusing on the beans, herbs and spinach.It’s crucial to cook red kidney beans thoroughly, because they contain a naturally occurring toxin called phytohemagglutinin that causes extreme intestinal distress but is reduced to harmless levels when the beans are boiled for a sufficient amount of time (10 minutes is sufficient, according to the Food and Drug Administration, but of course beans require a lot more cooking than that to soften). You should not cook them in a crockpot because the temperature may not be high enough to destroy the toxin, and you should discard the soaking water.
Dressing
Soba Noodle Soup
A bowl of soba is a beautiful, exotic and delicious centerpiece for a Japanese meal: the not-too-soft, nutty buckwheat noodles sitting in a mahogany broth — dashi — that’s as clear and glossy as beef consommé, not only salty and umami-complex but sweet as well. My favorite variety, tamago toji, is egg-topped. When it’s made right, the egg is almost foamy, soft-scrambled and tender, deliciously flavored by the dashi, a bit of which it absorbs.
Ann Romney's Meatloaf Cakes
Ronald Reagan had his jelly beans, Poppy Bush had his pork rinds and Mitt Romney has his — meatloaf cakes? “Meatloaf cakes,” Mr. Romney affirmed from the back of his charter plane as it idled on the tarmac in Ohio in March 2012, explaining to the traveling press corps the special birthday meal his wife prepares for him every year. The traditional birthday meal, Mr. and Mrs. Romney added, includes mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and carrots.
Baby Back Ribs With Saba Slather
Rice Noodle Salad With Crispy Tofu and Lime-Peanut Dressing
Unrefined expeller-pressed peanut oil contributes a wonderful nutty flavor to this dressing
Hot Mayonnaise
Spicy Baby Back Ribs
This recipe, adapted from A-Frame, chef Roy Choi's restaurant in Culver City, Calif., is part of a menu inspired by Hawaiian cuisine. Choi encourages diners to eat with their hands, so toss etiquette out the door and connect with these spicy ribs with reckless abandon.
Super Tomato Sandwiches
I never could resist a tomato sandwich. It is the combination of mayonnaise, tomatoes and bread that is so compelling. I call these MLTs: mayonnaise, lettuce and tomatoes. I make a spicy mayo with chipotle adobo (my son’s favorite), and an herbal mayo with tarragon (my favorite). Play around with aioli and other flavored mayonnaises. Use whole grain bread and toast it lightly so that it doesn’t get soggy. The tomatoes should overlap in a thick layer.
Gluten Free Candied Cranberry-Rosemary Walnut Crumble
When Brooklyn mom Silvana Nardone's son was diagnosed with gluten intolerance at the age of 10, the food editor and bakery owner didn't want to cook foods that were just similar to his favorite dishes. "He knew what everything should look and taste like,'' says Ms. Nardone, author of "Cooking for Isaiah: Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Recipes for Easy Delicious Meals." "I wanted everything to look and taste the same as the original.'' Your holiday guests won't miss the gluten when they try this fruity walnut crumble. "There is something about kids and their brutal honesty that has made my gluten-free cooking and baking taste better,'' Ms. Nardone says.
Parsley and Romaine Salad
I sometimes use parsley as a salad green, adding the leaves whole or cutting them into chiffonade, as I do in this delicate salad. You can dress it with a vinaigrette, or with a simpler combination of 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil.
Seared Salmon With Citrus and Arugula Salad
Bursting with color and bright, bold flavors, this simple recipe makes an elegant main course for a dinner party, or a welcome diversion from your go-to weeknight salmon. The technique of cooking salmon in a cast-iron skillet creates a beautifully golden-brown sear and crispy skin. For best results, make this recipe during the cold weather months, when citrus fruit is at its best.
Mango Lime Sorbet
This sorbet is tangy and not very sweet. I added only enough sugar and corn syrup to allow the mixture to freeze properly without developing ice crystals.
Green Mole With Chicken
Green mole is one of the best destinations I can think of for the tough outer leaves from a head of romaine or leaf lettuce. If you don’t eat meat, you can make the mole with vegetable broth and enjoy it over rice and vegetables.
