Chicken Livers With Raw-Scallion Sauce
Spicy Pimentos
Poached Poulet With Brown Rice
Sweet and Sour Peppers Stuffed With Rice or Bulgur and Fennel
These sweet and sour peppers are great on their own, but they can also be filled. I like the filled peppers both cold, as sort of a salad, and warm. This is one instance in which fleshy red peppers work best.
Crunchy Calamari Salad
Blueberries au Citron
Sautéed Spicy Carrots With Black Quinoa
This is inspired by a classic Moroccan spiced cooked carrot salad (Ommok Houriya is one variation of the transliteration). Carrots and cumin have long been a favorite combination of mine; added to this mix is fresh green chile and crushed coriander. I finish this off with a sprinkling of black quinoa and fresh mint (cilantro would also be good). If on the off-chance you can find a selection of multicolored carrots – yellow, purple, and orange – the dish will be all the more beautiful, but it is pretty enough with regular orange carrots. Cook them long enough to bring out the sweetness, which means longer than crisp-tender. They should be soft, but not mushy.
Spiced Roasted Almonds
Roasted nuts are standard snacks, and almonds are a healthy food. But it is easy to eat too many. I find that if they are a little spicy or hot, delicious as they are, they are not quite as addictive.
Stir-Fried Shrimp With Spicy Greens
Whenever I use a red-tinged vegetable like amaranth in a dish I know the vegetable is bringing with it lots of antioxidant-rich anthocyanins, a flavonoid found in dark red and blue pigments. Use beet greens if you can’t find amaranth; they will bring with them the same red pigments, which make for a richly colored sauce. For a beautiful meal, serve the stir-fry with red rice, like Bhutanese rice.
Hot Cajun-Style Crab Boil
A trip to Avery Island, La., the home of Tabasco sauce, inspired this Jacques Pépin recipe from 1994. A few years earlier, Paul McIlhenny, the fourth generation of his family to produce the hot sauce, served Mr. Pépin and his wife a bountiful crab boil. ” People helped themselves,” Mr. Pépin wrote, adding, “We washed the banquet down with plenty of cold beer.” Here, he substitutes blue crab for crawfish, and kielbasa for the hot Cajun sausage. But whatever you use, keep Mr. Pépin’s recommendation and have a beer alongside.
Red Pepper Pasta Sauce
Arborio and Red Rice Risotto With Baby Broccoli and Red Peppers
Baby broccoli has thinner stems than regular broccoli and long, feathery flowers that cook up nicely in this mixed-rice risotto.
Roasted Vegetable Sandwich With Parsley Arugula Salad
Chili-Spiced Peanuts
This recipe is adapted from “Simply Mexican” by the chef and cookbook author Lourdes Castro. With a twist of lime juice and cayenne pepper, these nuts have a distinctly Latin flavor. They will keep guests happy as hosts finish dinner in the kitchen.
Wild Salmon Stewed With Morels And Red Wine
Tuna With Sesame Crust And Balsamic Glaze
Coconut Ginger Chicken
With a little practice and a little added flavor, a humble chicken breast can be anything you want.
Stewed Rhubarb With Ginger And Vanilla
Red Cabbage And Black Currant Salad
Stuffed Swiss Chard
Chicken and Vegetable Wrap
Much of the pleasure of eating this wrap comes from the crunchy textures of the lettuce and the shredded vegetables. If you poach and shred a couple of chicken breasts at the beginning of the week, then these wraps are quickly thrown together.
Coconut Mashed Yams With Currants
These easy, butter-free, dairy-free mashed yams from Chloe Coscarelli, the vegan cookbook author, are gussied up with creamy coconut milk, maple syrup and warm autumn spices.
Southern Black-Eyed Peas and Cauliflower
This sweet and savory black-eyed pea dish, from vegan cookbook author Chloe Coscarelli, calls for canned beans so it comes together in about a half hour. Serve with Ms. Coscarelli's super-easy biscuits. Leftovers, if you have any, can be eaten in a bun, sloppy-Joe style.
Pear Vanilla Sorbet
Pear sorbet has always been a favorite of mine. Wait until your pears are nice and ripe, for maximum flavor. I keep my pears in a brown paper bag with an apple to speed this process along. The pear and vanilla combo is heavenly.
