Hijiki With Shiitakes And Beans
Sourdough Stuffing With Kale and Dates
This stuffing from the chef Suzanne Goin, a Los Angeles native, pays tribute to California, with nods to the sourdough that you associate with fog-strewn San Francisco and to the almonds and dates of the Central Valley. Turkey sausage, kale and sliced chiles are also tossed into the mix. As Ms. Goin explained, “There is no egg and no real attempt to emulsify it like your mom’s stuffing — it’s loose, laid-back and doing its own thing, California-style.”
Deep-Fried Steamer Clams
Stir-Fried Balsamic Ginger Carrots
The carrots need to be cut as uniformly as possible so that all the vegetables cook in the same amount of time. If the carrots are skinny (about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter), simply cut them into 2-inch pieces; if they’re medium (about 1 inch in diameter), cut lengthwise in half before cutting into 2-inch pieces; if they’re large (about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter), quarter lengthwise before cutting into 2-inch pieces. Blanching the carrots reduces the amount of oil necessary to stir-fry. Mince the ginger by hand; if you use a grater or microplane, the ginger will be too wet and will spatter in the oil.
Lumpia Shanghai
Lumpia are cousins to spring rolls, a tradition that most likely goes back to the Chinese traders who first visited the Philippines in the ninth century. As kids, we’d crowd around the kitchen counter to make them, spooning out the filling and rolling up the skins before sliding them into hot oil. They come in different incarnations and may be served unfried and even unwrapped, but the classic is lumpia Shanghai, skinny cigarillos with supercrunchy skins, packed with meat, juices seething. I like dipping them in banana ketchup, which you can buy or improvise by cooking overripe bananas and tomato paste into a sweet-and-sour jam.
Brussels Sprouts With Paneer and Lime Dressing
One of my go-to side dish hacks is sprinkling crunchy, cracked whole spices onto a pan of vegetables before roasting. The spices toast in the oven, releasing their fragrance and flavor, which can be absorbed by the likes of the brussels sprouts, cherry tomatoes or sweet potatoes sharing the pan. Adding paneer to the pan in this recipe, adapted from “Dinner in One: Exceptional & Easy One-Pan Meals” (Clarkson Potter, 2022), turns a side dish into a light and tasty meal, one that’s easily filled in with a little yogurt and some flatbread served on the side.
Steamed Cod With Mesclun And Sweet Soy Dressing
Roasted Chicken Thighs With Lemon, Thyme and Rosemary
The ease and deliciousness of this recipe, from the chef Nancy Silverton's cookbook "Mozza at Home," deserves to be emphasized. Though you need several hours of refrigeration to allow the chicken skin to dry out, which makes it crisp, you can be flexible about it; do what’s convenient. No matter what, just be sure to pat the skin dry with paper towels. You may also find the final run under the broiler unnecessary. Use your judgment. And also consider swirling in a good splash of white wine or chicken stock to the juices in the baking dish before spooning them on the chicken.
Roasted Salmon With Fennel and Lime
Fennel is used several ways to flavor these tender fillets of slow-roasted salmon. The seeds are mixed with lime zest and salt to rub all over the fish before cooking, which perfumes it through and through. Then a shaved fennel bulb is used two ways, both roasted in the pan beneath the fillets and tossed with lime juice into a crunchy, slawlike salad to serve on the side. Elegant yet supremely simple, this is fast enough for a weeknight but special enough to share with friends.
Grilled Tuna Stuffed With Mesclun
Palomilla
Roasted Corn and Edamame Salad
A late-summer side with lots of crunch, spice and herbs, this is great with anything grilled. Hugh Mangum, the New York chef of Texas lineage who started the Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque chain, has brightened up the traditional Texas plate of meat, meat, meat and white bread with fresh sides like this one. It holds up well overnight, too.
Bibimbap With Tuna, Sweet Potato, Broccoli Rabe or Kale, and Lettuce
I keep the tuna in one piece when I marinate it and cook it, then slice it after it’s seared so it won’t be overcooked. If you want to reduce the calories and carbs here, substitute winter squash or another vegetable of your choice for the sweet potatoes.
Fresh Fried Clams
Cod in Red Wine Sauce
Chinese Marinated Steak
Miracle Mushroom Gravy
This vegetarian gravy has all of the hearty sausage flavor without all of the meat. It came to The Times in 2012 by way of Amy Lawrence, and her husband, Justin Fox Burks, who write the Chubby Vegetarian blog.
Mustard Salmon With Spring Vegetable Stew
Fresh wild salmon, which is available in spring and summer, is preferred for its superior flavor and brilliant color. Here, a large piece of boneless fillet is seasoned with crushed fennel seed, coarse black pepper and Dijon mustard, which contrast nicely with the salmon’s sweetness. To accompany the salmon, a combination of spring vegetables is lightly simmered with butter for a French-style stew. Sizzling brown mustard seeds and green chile in oil — the technique called tadka in Indian cooking— supplies a welcome spicy finish.
Pasta With White Sausage Sauce
Pasta and sausage are a combination that usually suggests a dense, heavy tomato sauce. But it can also mean the very opposite. Sausage, used in small amounts, can contribute to a relatively light, almost delicate pasta sauce. In fact, sausage is a gift to the minimalist cook: it comes already seasoned, and its seasoning can be used to flavor whatever goes with it. The technique is simple. It's easiest to start with bulk sausage, or patties, because then there's no need to remove the meat from a casing. (Though that is easy to do: Just slit the casing with a sharp knife and peel it off.) You crumble the sausage into a little melted butter, which adds smoothness to the final sauce (omit it if you prefer), add water or other liquid and finish with grated Parmesan.
