Salmon Roll

Seafood Fricassee

Stir-Fried Green Beans and Scallions
While this dish may look like a pile of plain old green beans, look closer: Half of those slender green vegetables are scallions, contributing a sweet, gentle onion flavor to this fast side. Though scallions are often used to garnish, the use of cooked scallion segments is nothing new: You’ll find them sautéed, braised, grilled and eaten whole oftentimes with romesco or alongside meat. Here, scallions and green beans simultaneously steam and sauté in a hot, covered skillet, so the vegetables char and concentrate in flavor but remain juicy. Lemon brightens everything, but is strictly optional.

Swiss Chard and Chickpea Minestrone

Artichoke and Crudites Lasagna

Butcher’s Steak With Leafy Greens Salsa Verde
Butcher’s steak is the name of a specific cut of steak, also known as hanger steak (and, occasionally, bistro steak). It’s a cut that hangs off the cow’s diaphragm, resulting in a steak that has the beefy flavor of a short rib, the fat marbling of a rib-eye and the tenderness of filet mignon. There is only one per animal, making it somewhat exclusive but not especially expensive. It is also a term used for the secret-ish cuts typically available only to butchers and restaurants; but a good butcher will gladly help you unlock those secrets. Other lesser-known, surprisingly affordable cuts that work well here include boneless short ribs, Denver steaks and center-cut top sirloin. These cuts are great with little more than salt and pepper, so you can truly assess their flavor. But a tangy, garlicky salsa verde made from dark leafy greens doesn’t hurt. Serve with a squeeze of lemon and a bowl of salty potato chips for a truly faux-bistro experience.

Sweet and Salty Grilled Steak With Cucumber Salad
The marinade on this steak is inspired by a classic Vietnamese dipping sauce called nuoc cham. Since it consists mostly of pantry staples – Asian fish sauce, brown sugar and garlic – all you need to pick up on the way home are some fresh limes and jalapeño. Nuoc cham works as a salad dressing, too. Here we drizzle it on crisp cucumbers and radishes, but sliced ripe tomatoes work just as well. You could serve it as it is with the salad on the side, or put everything on top of a bed of rice noodles or rice for a more substantial meal.

Grilled Skirt Steak With Smoky Eggplant Chutney
This crusty, succulent steak is flavored with a powerful mixture of coriander, cumin, mustard seed, chile powder and cinnamon. Take care not to overcook the meat; rare to medium rare guarantees tender beef. For even more flavor, serve the steak with a smoky eggplant chutney, which comes together quickly.

Grilled Trout With Cucumber-Tomato Relish

Lady Baltimore Cake

Flounder Fillets With Spanish Herbs

Steamed Salmon With Peas and Leeks

Spiced Lamb Skewers With Lemony Onions
This is the type of scalable recipe that is ideal for feeding large groups of people in a short period of time. More snack than a meal, the idea is to build a table of these lightly spiced, grilled skewers (if you don't like lamb, then pork, beef or chicken all work) and fill out the rest of your table with store-bought ingredients like pickles, olives, yogurt and flatbread for sopping it all up.

Lamb Shanks With Celery Root and Thyme

Daube de Boeuf

Rosemary White Beans With Frizzled Onions and Tomato
A speedy, pantry-friendly dish, canned white beans braised in olive oil and tomatoes become stewlike and creamy. Pinches of fresh or dried rosemary, chile flakes and lemon zest add complexity to the mix, while a topping of frizzled, browned onions lends sweetness and a chewy-crisp texture. Serve this with toasted country bread drizzled with olive oil, or over a bowl of rice or farro for an easy, satisfying weeknight meal.

Hungarian Goulash
There is no high drama about simmering a stew. However fine, stew is a homey, intimate exchange, a paean to the way living things improve when their boundaries relax, when they incorporate some of the character and flavor of others. Soulful, a word inextricably linked with a good sturdy stew, is the payoff to the cook who plans a little and has the patience to abide.

Tagliata With Radicchio And Parmesan

Peppered Rib-Eye Steaks With Watercress
Back in 2004, William Grimes, a former Times restaurant critic, realized that his role had changed him. No longer could he be satisfied with quotidian meals. He wanted a way to one-star dining in his home every night, and in 30 minutes or less. On his quest, he found this recipe, adapted from Food and Wine’s "Fast: Over 150 Quick, Delicious Recipes in 30 Minutes or Less." The steaks are quickly seared, red wine reduced, and watercress tossed in butter until wilted. In 15 minutes, a restaurant-worthy dinner is served.

Poulet Roti Tout Simple (Simple Roast Chicken)

Roast Rabbit With Green Garlic Sauce
This recipe came to The Times in a 2007 article by Marian Burros about the then newly burgeoning locavore scene. This dish, adapted from Melissa Kelly, the chef at Primo Restaurant in Rockland, Me., makes the most of spring onions and green garlic, two verdant savories that are abundant before summer.

Puree of Chickpea Soup
Most chickpea soups, whether savory minestrones or spicy North African stews, are rustic and hearty. This one is delicate, a puree that will have a particularly velvety texture if you take the time to strain it after you puree it.
