Smashed Roasted Carrots
This wintry salad, inspired by Asian smashed cucumbers, stars sweet roasted carrots. After being roasted until just tender, the carrots are lightly flattened to create texture on their surface, then broiled to char their edges. The gingery, garlicky dressing is a bracing contrast to the sweetness of the carrots. You can use either black vinegar or rice wine vinegar here. Although their flavors are completely different — the black vinegar is caramelized and rich, the rice vinegar lighter and fresher — they each harmonize with the other ingredients in the dressing. Serve this salad warm or at room temperature: It holds up well if you want to make it a few hours in advance. This salad will also work with parsnips.

Linguine With Creamy Arugula and Goat Cheese
Charred Okra Salad With Garlicky Yogurt
Broiling okra until golden crisps it nicely throughout and chars it at the edges. In this recipe, it’s then spiced with cumin and turned into a salad filled with herbs, lettuces, tomatoes and other vegetables. Dressed with yogurt and topped with spicy cayenne onions, it makes a flavorful and unusual side dish or a light, vegetable-filled meal.

Party Picadillo
With some Douros as cheap as a pizza, and just as bold, I'd think of them as party wines, to serve to a crowd fortified with big sandwiches, wings and meaty casseroles. Even at the high end, most are not wines to contemplate but to quaff with slabs of seared red meat. But if you choose budget bottles, here's a dish that will not break the bank, either. Well-seasoned picadillo, a versatile, richly seasoned ground-meat dish from Latin America, is typically served with rice and beans, but it can also be ladled over pasta, used to fill tortillas or sloppy Joes or baked in a casserole with a potato topping. Since it will be in the company of bland carbs, you can spice it generously. The wines won't balk at that.

Pasta With Lobster, Chorizo and Peas
Cold Spicy Kimchi Noodles
Could this be the anti-ramen? Either way, it’s my new favorite cold pasta, custom-made for hot summer weather because it is refreshingly and unapologetically spicy. Make the sauce in advance, but wait to toss with the noodles until just before serving. While you could order Korean ingredients online, it’s more fun to go to a Korean supermarket, if only to see all the different types of kimchi. Korean red pepper flakes are without seeds, and only medium hot, so you can use a lot.

Classic Masala Dosa
A properly made crisp and savory Indian dosa is wonderfully delicious, and fairly simple to make at home, with this caveat: the batter must be fermented overnight for the correct texture and requisite sour flavor. However, once the batter is ready, it can be refrigerated and kept for several days, even a week. With a traditional spicy potato filling, dosas makes a perfect vegetarian breakfast or lunch. Serve them with your favorite chutney.

Florence Fabricant's Lobster Fra Diavolo
“Lobster Fra Diavolo, lobster in a spicy tomato sauce with linguine, ‘brother devil’ style, sounds Italian, tastes Italian and is a staple in Italian restaurants. But is it Italian?” Florence Fabricant set out to find out in a 1996 column. She spoke to a number of experts on Italian food, but came away with few answers. Some insisted it was an Italian-American dish, with roots in New York, specifically Long Island or Little Italy, while others pointed to Naples. She included this recipe, adapted from “Lobster at Home” by Jasper White, the executive chef of the Legal Sea Foods chain. His version is served on bread, but this adaptation is served on pasta.
Grilled Chicken Topped With Mixed Melon Salsa
Turkish Chicken and Okra Casserole
In Turkey, okra is often stewed with lamb or chicken. I liked this dish so much that I made it twice in one week, the second time for a big dinner party. It’s adapted from Ghillie Basan’s recipe in “Classic Turkish Cooking.”
Cheesy Kimchi Noodles
Instant ramen ranks highly among comfort foods because it can be quickly prepared and those little seasoning packets provide lots of flavor with minimal effort. No packets are used in this recipe, but the addition of gooey, melted Cheddar and funky fermented kimchi makes the dish even more satisfying. Sautéed scallions and garlic balance out the spicy Sriracha, soy and sesame sauce, while the runny yolk from a crispy fried egg adds richness and mellows the spice. The cheese becomes sticky as it cools, so these noodles are best served immediately while still warm and glossy.
Grilled Halibut With Indian Spices and Corn Relish
Here, a fragrant combination of ground cumin, turmeric, coriander and fennel seed is rubbed all over fresh halibut steaks (Pacific salmon, wild striped bass and hake also work well here). The steaks are then left to marinate for a few hours in the refrigerator before grilling. The cooked fish is topped with a quick relish made of fresh corn, ginger, onion, cilantro and a bit of the spice mixture that's been sautéed in clarified butter. It's an unexpected yet extraordinary way to prepare fish that might just win over the self-proclaimed seafood-haters at the table.
Shrimp Pasta With Corn and Basil
This particularly American combination of flavors — shrimp and corn — is light, summery and very tasty, both sweet and slightly spicy. If you are feeling flush, you can make this pasta with lobster instead.
