Smoke-Roasted Chicken Thighs With Paprika
These chicken thighs are roasted in the heat of a covered grill, smoke commingling with the tint and flavor of paprika to create, thanks to caramelized honey, a sort of crust that makes it very difficult to stop eating. You start by making a paste of sweet and hot paprikas, honey, lemon juice, garlic and butter. Rub that all over the meat, then cook the chicken on a charcoal grill over indirect heat until done. If using a gas grill, make sure one side of the grill is unheated, and either swap out the paprika for the smoked version known as pimenton de la vera or wrap two small mounds of moistened wood chips in heavy aluminum foil and pierce the tops of the packets with the tines of a fork. Place those on the hotter side of the grill before roasting the chicken.
Rice Pudding With Rose Water and Cardamom
Rice pudding is a common sight on buffets in Indian restaurants. If you’re looking for something sweet to wrap up your Indian meal at home, this could be the answer. This particular rice pudding is popular in north India, and is scented with super-aromatic cardamom as well a light splash of rose water.
Tuna Mushroom Burgers
I have always had a weakness for tuna burgers, and I like these even more than the classic all-fish burger because the mushrooms assure a moist texture. They are inspired by a recipe by Clifford Pleau, which was presented at the 2015 Worlds of Healthy Flavors conference. If you use sushi-grade tuna for these burgers you might want to just sear them on each side to get a rare, sushi-like interior. If you use ahi tuna, you could still cook them rare, or cook them for about 2 minutes on each side. This will produce a burger that is more well done but still nice and moist. The burgers are delicious either way. Don’t use a food processor to chop the tuna; finely chop with a knife or a cleaver. The texture will be too pasty if you use a food processor. I found that the punch of the wasabi paste dissipated when the burgers were cooked, so add more if desired.
Apple Slaw
This dish of chopped radishes, cabbage and apples makes a fresh, simple and crunchy salad for your table.
Publican Chicken
This quick, easy-to-put-together chicken comes from Paul Kahan of The Publican, a restaurant in Chicago. The ingredient list is short, and may include much of what you already have on hand. But the flavor it yields is paramount: Serve it with wedge fries and a frosty beer for a meal that will lift the most flagging spirits.
Spicy Grilled Chicken With Tomato-Cucumber Relish
Chicken thighs meet with a mellow mix of Indian spices and are grilled into weekend dinner excellence. In Indian cooking, most spices are toasted before they’re used, a process that brings up their aromatics and mellows and rounds their flavors. Here they’re then rubbed onto chicken thighs and grilled, which gives them an additional smokiness that pairs beautifully with the tomato-and-cucumber relish.
Spanish-Style Lamb Stew
John Willoughby fell in love with pimentón, a smoky Spanish paprika, after a trip to La Vera, a region west of Madrid, first encountering it in a lamb stew. “The stew, rich with the slight gaminess of lamb, the tang of sherry and the smooth comfort of white beans, was brought to greatness by the subtle heat and almost mysterious smokiness of the pimentón,” he wrote. He drew inspiration from the stew, making his own version at home and bringing this recipe to The Times in 2010.
Grilled or Roasted Pattypan “Steaks” With Italian Salsa Verde
Cut into thick slices, pattypan squash, which look sort of like small flying saucers, can make a juicy sort of “steak” that could be topped by a pungent sauce. Grill or roast the “steaks” and serve them with this gorgeous green sauce. You’ll need only half the amount of salsa verde that this recipe yields, but it keeps very well in the refrigerator and it’s great to have on hand.
Mushroom and Beef Burgers
These hamburgers — cut through with roasted mushrooms — were inspired by the versions cooked by the chef Scott Samuel of the Culinary Institute of America. They are here made of half beef, half roasted mushrooms, though Mr. Samuel went two parts meat to one part mushrooms. Either way, they are incredibly moist.
Braised Chicken Thighs With Chile, Cinnamon, Cardamom and Coriander
If you’re looking to boost flavor, spices are a natural. There are perhaps no cuisines that use spices more deftly than those of India. Borrowing a technique commonly used there, I sweat a trio of aromatic spices before adding the liquid to a braised chicken-thigh dish. The final flavor of the dish, earthy but somehow still delicate, is wholly satisfying.
Skirt Steak With Shallot-Thyme Butter
Steve Johnson, the chef at the Blue Room in Cambridge, Mass., has been cooking skirt steak for years, long before it became wildly popular. But never before has he served a better – or simpler – rendition of this long, thin band of wonderfully marbled beef. His secret: a slice of compound butter, flavored with shallots, chives and thyme, that melts over the meat. It had been so long since I had seen flavored butter on steak that this version came as something of a revelation.
Nana José’s Chocolate Pecan Cake
A Passover flourless chocolate pecan torte, served with berries sweetened with shaved piloncillo, raw Mexican brown sugar, and flavored with lime juice.

Soufflé Omelet With Apricot Sauce
Soufflé omelets are quick desserts that sound a lot more difficult to make than they actually are. The sauce for these is adapted from an apricot filling for crepes in Sherry Yard’s book “Desserts by the Yard.”
Pumpkin Cheesecake In Nut Crust
Some cheesecakes are the culinary equivalent of a punch in the gut: too sweet, too heavy, too filling. This one, first published in The Times in 1984, is delightfully different. It's lightly-sweet, slightly tangy and gently laced with spiced pumpkin flavor. The texture is surprisingly airy. Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream or créme fraîche. Don't skip the part of the recipe that calls for allowing it to cool in the oven overnight; it promises a crack-free, glossy top.
Rum and Chile Roasted Chicken Thighs With Pineapple
This dish, inspired by jerk chicken, uses amber rum to moisten the rub. The resulting dish is complex, mouth tingling but not searing, and softened by the golden cubes of succulent roasted pineapple. It's not quite recognizable as a jerk, but it is no less pleasing.

This comforting soup is a simplified version of a Vietnamese phô or a Japanese ramen (using rice sticks instead of somen).
Rao’s Chicken Scarpariello (Shoemaker’s Chicken)
Chicken scarpariello, also known as shoemaker's chicken, is a classic Italian-American dish of chicken, sausage, vinegar, onions and peppers that has all the flavors and textures: Tangy and rich, spicy and sweet, tender and crunchy. Our version is adapted from one found on the menu at Rao's, the reservations-impossible Southern Italian restaurant and celebrity hangout in Harlem. It starts with pan-frying chicken pieces and Italian sausage in a little olive oil until golden brown. Bell peppers, jalapeños, onion and garlic go into the pan and are sautéed until soft. All of that – plus hot peppers, potatoes, vinegar and wine – goes into a roasting pan and into a hot oven until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through. (The potatoes are totally optional, by the way, but they are a nice, pillowy counterpoint to the prickly heat of the peppers.) Serve with a hunk of good bread to mop up the sauce.
Chicken Soup With Lime and Avocado
When I lived in France, in the ‘80s and early ‘90s, I hardly ever ate avocados. Those sold in the markets were smooth, thin-skinned varieties grown mostly in Israel. They were watery, not as creamy or nutty-tasting as Haas avocados, the dark, pebbly-skinned variety that we get in California. “Poor man’s butter,” they used to call avocados when my father was a child. (Now they would more aptly be described as “rich man’s butter.”) Simple Mexican soups like this one often include avocado, which is diced or sliced and added to the soup when it’s ladled into bowls.
Chicken Thighs Stuffed With Chard
Stuffing boneless chicken has long been reserved for breasts, but most chicken breasts have so little flavor that you almost have to stuff them with fat. Thighs, however, are fattier and more flavorful, so a stuffing can be leaner and brighter. And now that boneless thighs are sold in many supermarkets, the only issues are flattening and rolling. But if you pound a thigh as you would a breast, it becomes large enough to stuff and roll (Because thighs are irregularly shaped, you’ll need to skewer them closed with a couple of toothpicks). Almost any stuffing will work; just don’t overfill. My current favorite uses a light, leafy green, along with pine nuts and raisins. The result is nicely browned meat and a lean stuffing with acidity, crunch and sweetness. For more flavor, I like to finish with a splash of sherry; with the liquid spooned over the thighs and a sprinkle of parsley, the dish becomes downright impressive.
