Chicken Roasted With Sour Cream, Lemon Juice And Mango Chutney

Chicken Meunière
Traditionally, the term “meuniere” refers to fillets of sole that are floured and sauteed quickly, then finished with lemon juice, parsley and browned butter. But there’s no reason to be parochial about it. This is a fast, surprisingly elegant approach to boneless, skinless chicken breasts, or cutlets of pork, turkey or veal.

Game Hens With Sumac, Pomegranate and Cardamom Rice
There’s very little difference these days between the small chickens marketed as game hens and the ones called poussins. Both names are used, and they refer to a bird that weighs about 1 pound. And both birds work here in this recipe. The hens are beautifully burnished and seasoned with sumac and pomegranate molasses, which adds a tart sweet and sour flavor. (You can find the molasses at Middle Eastern groceries.) Figure one whole bird per person, or half a bird for smaller appetites. Fragrant cardamom-spiced basmati rice makes a perfect accompaniment.

Stewed Lamb Shanks With White Beans And Rosemary

Pork Loin With Grapes
Grapes rarely get their moment in the culinary limelight, and it’s too bad, because they are perfectly designed for cooking: small and juicy with hints of both acid and sweetness. In this roasted-pork dish, loosely adapted from Suzanne Goin's book "Sunday Suppers at Lucques," their fruitiness complements the meat’s salty drippings.

Carrot Wraps
Chef Ana Sortun, a chef who has a wonderful restaurant in Cambridge called Oleana, presented a delicious carrot “shawarma” at the recent Worlds of Healthy Flavors conference at the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena, Calif. Her husband is a farmer, and at this time of year she i’s always looking for ideas for using the carrots he grows. These wraps are inspired by Ana’s, but have a slightly less complex paste/sauce than hers. (It is also more Georgian than Turkish.).

Passover-Inspired Braised Lamb With Dried Fruit
This is a play on tsimmes, a traditional Jewish casserole. The flavors of North Africa and the Middle East are utilized for this lamb shoulder. Braising the meat in red wine yields a tender cut of meat without a lot of work.

Skillet Mushrooms and Chard With Barley or Brown Rice
Mushrooms and barley are a classic combination, but brown rice is also very nice with this dish, and it cooks faster. Whichever you use, simmer the grain in abundant water and used the drained water to moisten the mushrooms and chard.

Lamb and white-bean soup

Turkey Cutlets Marsala
Here is a recipe adapted from one written by Elizabeth David, the erudite British cookbook writer who died in 1992. Jill Norman beautifully reanimated it in her 2010 book “At Elizabeth David’s Table” and we took it along ever so slightly in the name of ease: lightly browned cutlets in a sauce of Marsala wine. The cooking is gentle, and takes little time. It pairs nicely with a mushroom risotto or a pile of rice.

Pumpkin and Chickpea Hot Pot
With a bit of red Thai curry paste, some cans of garbanzo beans and coconut milk, regular pumpkin is turned into an aromatic hot pot that can be served as a mildly spiced vegetarian curry, with more paste added for heat rather than warmth, with plain-cooked rice. Or think of it as a rich, chunky soup and pour into bowls and make sure everyone has a crusty wedge or two of good bread to dunk in, absorbing the sweet, spiced juice. This is good, fragrant weeknight cooking. Feel free to substitute butternut squash for the pumpkin.
