Lentil and Carrot Salad With Middle Eastern Spices
I combined two of my favorite Mediterranean salads to stretch the cup of lentils I had in my pantry. Take care not to overcook the lentils; they should be slightly al dente. They go quickly from al dente to mushy, so make sure to check after 25 minutes.
Chicken Stew With Sweet Potatoes, Almonds and Apricots
Loosely based on an Algerian recipe from “Real Stew” by Clifford A. Wright, this sweetly spiced dish, with beta-carotene-rich apricots and sweet potatoes, is also evocative of recipes from the Middle East and Iran.
Roasted Squash with Kale and Vinaigrette
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 are some more creative options to try.
Baked Halibut With Tomato Caper Sauce
This is a pungent tomato sauce that I learned to make in Provence. It goes well with any type of robust fish.
Toasted Corn Salsa
Resist the urge to substitute frozen corn for fresh in this delightfully crunchy salsa recipe from “America’s Test Kitchen Healthy Family Cookbook.” Be sure to use a nonstick skillet when toasting the corn, and for a spicier version, add the jalapeño seeds. You can make this ahead and refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Just season with additional lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste before serving.
Reveling Red Cabbage, Apple and Walnut Salad
This sherry-infused salad could start, accompany or even punctuate a meal, or become a refreshing private lunch.
Tomato and Avocado Salsa
Serve this rich-tasting salsa with fish or chicken, or on its own with soft corn tortillas and a sprinkling of queso fresco or feta.
Sprout Salad Slider
“One of my favorite things to do with leftover turkey is chop it up and make a turkey salad with nuts and fruit mixed with mayo and Dijon,” says Chef Mauro. But for people who don’t eat meat, brussels sprouts are a delicious substitute. “I love brussels sprouts,” Chef Mauro says. “They are one of the more meaty vegetables and still have texture, and if there’s caramelization on there, even better.”
Cornmeal Coconut Biscotti
When I use a grainy flour like cornmeal I always include some fat in the biscotti, and this time I went with coconut oil, which contributes great flavor and a sweet perfume. Use fine or medium-grind cornmeal and make sure to use fine coconut flakes. I used organic sugar (not brown) for these; the sugar is off-white rather than white, and coarser than regular granulated sugar.
Fresh Multi-Bean Salad with Charred Red Onion
Mandoo (Korean Dumplings)
Tofu Mushroom "Quiche"
This is a vegan quiche filled with a savory mix of blended tofu and mushrooms. It has a deep, rich umami flavor. No eggs are necessary to bind it; the tofu stiffens up when it bakes. You can use the crust of your choice. The yeasted crust is not vegan, as it contains an egg.
Basic Braised Turkey
Tuna Steaks With Fennel
Sea bass is the fish I always associate with fennel, as the combination is a classic in Provence. But cross the border into Italy and you’ll find tuna cooked with this anise-flavored vegetable.
Wild Arugula, Celery and Apple Salad With Anchovy Dressing
The dressing in this salad is inspired by a much more robust dressing in Jennifer McLagan’s wonderful new cookbook, “Bitter.” I have reduced the anchovies significantly, not because I don’t adore anchovies, but to reduce the sodium levels, which would be too high if an entire can were used. The salad presents a delicious play of bitter, pungent, sweet and salty flavors.
Orecchiette With Raw and Cooked Tomatoes
Here’s a great destination for the last of your summer tomatoes. The sauce is a great blend of concentrated, sweet cooked tomatoes and vibrant fresh tomatoes with garlic.
Stir-Fried Shrimp With Black Beans
Linguine With Sautéed Shrimp, Tomatoes and Peppers
Here's a weeknight classic from Pierre Franey’s “60 Minute Gourmet” column that was published in 1991. The recipe may be close to 30 years old, but its flavors and ease of preparation are timeless. First, a quick sauce is made of chopped garlic, red and green bell peppers, canned tomatoes and oregano. As that simmers away, the linguine is dropped into briskly boiling water and cooked for about nine minutes. While the pasta is cooking, the shrimp is sautéed with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes in a little olive oil until it just turns pink. When the shrimp is cooked through, it's combined with the sauce and a handful of chopped fresh basil or Italian flat-leaf parsley then tossed with the linguine.
Whole Wheat Almond Biscotti
These are based on the classic biscotti de Prato, but they are much less sweet and made with whole wheat flour and almond flour. Cut them in thin slices on the diagonal and dip them in tea, coffee or wine.
Lemon and Garlic Chicken With Spiced Spinach
This is a heavenly combination; I’m not sure what I like best, the subtly spiced spinach or the chicken. They make a great combo. When you add the rinsed spinach to the pan after cooking the chicken it will wilt in the liquid left on the leaves after washing, and it will deglaze the pan at the same time.
Saffron Ravioli With Wild Mushrooms and Cashew Cheese
Albacore Roasted in a Bed of Lettuce
This is inspired by a traditional Provençal tuna dish. Albacore works just as well. It has a lot going for it as a New Year’s dish, what with all the green leaves and the fish – lots of prosperity. Saffron is optional. I like to serve the lettuce, cut into strips, on the side.
Baked and Loaded Acorn Squash
Sweeten your winter suppers with this loaded squash that can’t help but warm you up from stem to stern when partnered with pears, Granny Smiths, nutmeg, cinnamon and apple brandy.
Red Lentil Kofta With Spinach
These bite-size bulgur and lentil balls can be part of a mezze spread — an assortment of appetizers — or they can be served as a side dish.
