Bulgur and Walnut Kibbeh
These patties make a great destination for fine bulgur. Kibbeh (called kufteh in Persian and köfte in Turkish) are usually made with a mixture of ground meat and bulgur, but there are vegetarian versions as well. This mixture of bulgur and walnuts is pungent with garlic and fragrant with parsley and fresh mint. They make a nice appetizer.
Roasted And Braised Duck With Sauerkraut
Pearl Couscous With Sautéed Cherry Tomatoes
This is a simple dish with few ingredients and lots of flavor. The sauce, inspired by Melissa Clark’s pasta with burst cherry tomatoes, is incredibly sweet and wraps itself around each nugget of couscous in the most delicious way. Cherry tomatoes break down in a hot pan in about five minutes, collapsing just enough to release some juice, which quickly thickens and caramelizes a bit. You want the tomatoes to stay partially intact so that you don’t just get skins floating in sauce, but you need to cook them long enough to achieve the caramelized flavor that makes a tomato sauce sweet. You can cook the couscous a couple of days ahead and reheat in a pan with a little olive oil or in the microwave.
Bitter Herbs Salad
Bitter herbs – the maror – are part of the Seder ritual, symbolizing the bitterness of slavery experienced by the Jews in Egypt. Endive, romaine and chicory (for which I’ve substituted radicchio) are present on many Sephardic ritual platters, but often they also appear in salads served with the meal. This can be served as a separate course or as a side dish.
Endive and Apple Salad
This salad came to The Times from Kathryn Anible, a personal chef in New York, whose solution to adding color to your winter table lies in this fresh, crunchy salad. “I just like it because the endive is not frequently used in salads, and it tends to be a little bitter,” she said. “The apple sweetens it up a little bit and makes it more approachable. It has a nice crunchy, fresh texture.”
Roast Rack of Venison With Cranberry Chutney
Cucumber Salsa Salad
This salad, which resembles gazpacho, is a lovely, light way to begin a Mexican meal. Serve it atop lettuce leaves as a salad, or serve over rice. Alternately, use it as a sauce with fish, chicken or fajitas.
Cucumber and Israeli Couscous Salad
I love this tabbouleh-like mixture because of all the herbs and refreshing flavors, and also because of the nice contrast in textures. Make sure that you cook the couscous until the spheres are tender but not gummy. I have seen package directions that call for too little water; make sure you cook them in twice their volume of water.
Crunchy Burmese Ginger Salad
Many Burmese dishes carry the scents and flavors of neighboring India and China. In this salad, the dried shrimp of Yunnan, the part of China that borders Myanmar, mingle with crisped shallots, tangy lime and crunchy roasted peanuts for wild contrast and crunch.
Light Soup With Peas
Marinated Olives
These are inspired by Patricia Wells’ “Chanteduc Rainbow Olive Collection” in her wonderful book “The Provence Cookbook.” It is best to use olives that have not been pitted.
Country ‘Meatloaf’ With Golden Gravy
Chloe Coscarelli, a vegan chef, offers this hearty vegetarian dish packed with protein.
Tempeh and Wild Mushroom Fricassee
If there is such a thing as a stick-to-your-ribs vegan meal, this is it. Loaded with four types of mushrooms and chunks of tempeh sautéed in white wine and soy sauce, it is hearty fare perfect for chilly autumn or winter days. The recipe came to The Times in 2010 when the Well blog featured a number of vegetarian recipes from Cooking Light magazine.
Gluten-Free Pumpkin Dumplings With Radicchio
Silvana Nardone, the founding editor of the food magazine Every Day With Rachael Ray, developed this recipe for her gluten-intolerant son. It's incredibly easy. Just mix together a can of pumpkin purée, a couple eggs and a cup of gluten-free flour blend. Plop spoonfuls into a pot of boiling water, and in minutes – dumplings. Toss those with a quick sauté of onion, red pepper flakes and radicchio for a filling, healthy dinner. The dumplings are super light and pillowy, but if you prefer a firmer texture, add more gluten-free flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to the pasta dough.
Spring Rolls With Spinach, Mushrooms, Sesame, Rice and Herbs
I steam the spinach just until it collapses for these rolls and combine it with rice instead of the more traditional noodles. You can use brown, regular basmati or jasmine rice
Rice Salad With Cucumber, Lemon And Scallion
Radicchio Salad With Golden Beets and Walnuts
Walnut vinaigrette is especially compatible with bitter greens like radicchio.
Oatmeal Tabbouleh
This is a good tabbouleh alternative for those of you who can’t tolerate wheat, though you must seek out a brand of steel-cut oats that has been processed in a gluten-free facility if you need to avoid gluten. Unlike traditional tabbouleh, which is a really a parsley salad with a little bit of fine bulgur, this is more of a lemony grain salad with a generous amount of parsley and other herbs. For best results, toss the soaked oats with the dressing and refrigerate overnight.
Focaccia With Tomatoes and Rosemary
This beautiful bread is a great way to use summer tomatoes, but the heat from the oven will draw rich, deep flavor from the less flavorful ones found in winter as well.
Red Pepper Coulis
Walnut Fougasse or Focaccia
What’s called focaccia in Italy is fougasse in Provence. Fougasse, though, is often shaped like a leaf, which is easy to do and very pretty. The nutty, toasty whole grain bread is irresistible.
Grilled Pork Loin With Wine-Salt Rub
Rosemary Bread
Rainbow Beef
In this version of a stir-fry classic I am using less beef than a typical recipe would call for and adding in some shiitake mushrooms and extra peppers.
