Crêpes With Grilled Peaches and Apricots
Heat deepens the flavor of both peaches and apricots, and grilling adds one more seared dimension. The trick here is to grill the fruit just until it colors and softens, but not to let it burn or collapse. I find that 3 minutes on one side is sufficient for peaches, and 2 minutes for apricots, with about 1 minute on the other side. Crêpes are easy to make if you use a nonstick crêpe pan, and great to have on hand for desserts like this one. Keep the six extra that this recipe yields in the freezer, and grill some more peaches and apricots next week.
Cabbage, Carrot and Purple Kale Latkes
These latkes are nutrient-dense, packed with health promoting sulfur compounds as well as vitamins K, A, C, and manganese, tryptophan, calcium, copper, vitamin B6, iron, and potassium. In order for this mix to hold together it requires a little more egg and flour; I use a combination of cornmeal, all-purpose and buckwheat.
Arugula Salad With Grilled Apricots and Pistachios
Pungent arugula contrasts beautifully with fruit of all kinds. Grilling the apricots deepens their flavor and makes them stand out against the arugula even more. You’ll be able to make this beautiful salad only during the summer’s short apricot season, and even then, you should buy the fruits at the farmers’ market so you can sample them to make sure they are juicy and sweet.
Tuna Ceviche or Tartare With Avocado
Here are two versions of tuna tartare, one of them a classic ceviche. Be sure not to marinate the tuna in the lime juice for too long or the meat will turn grey.
Whole-Wheat Focaccia
Focaccia is a flatbread, not unlike a very thick-crusted pizza. It’s an easy dough to put together. It’s a great vehicle for all kinds of vegetables, just as pizza is. Three variations on the flour mix follow the recipe; you can use more whole-wheat flour or less than is called for in this recipe, which uses half whole-wheat and half all-purpose. When I use Community Grains whole-wheat flour, a California flour made from ancient strains of wheat that is milled in such a way that it is very fine but retains all of its nutrients, I can get away with using a lot. Coarser whole-wheat flours are best used in combination with all-purpose.
Buckwheat Crêpes With Caramelized Apples
Buckwheat crêpes have wonderful earthy/nutty flavor. They are equally at home with a sweet or savory topping. If you have any caramelized apples left over, stir them into your yogurt for breakfast.
Soba Noodles With Shiitakes, Broccoli and Tofu
Soba noodles are Japanese, not Chinese, but I love using them in Chinese stir-fries. They have a wonderful nutty flavor, and buckwheat has a lot going for it nutritionally – it is a good source of manganese, copper and magnesium, and it is also high in phytonutrients. To make a quick vegetable stock, simmer the shiitake mushroom stalks in a small amount of water for about 20 minutes.
Coconut Ginger Tea With Lime, Honey and Turmeric
I love the fair trade teas produced by Zhena’s Gypsy Tea, especially her Coconut Chai. Inspired by the perfume of coconut in that tea, I infused shredded coconut and ginger and added a little fresh lime juice, honey and a smidgeon of turmeric. The idea of making a turmeric and honey paste comes from Heidi Swanson’s 101cookbooks.com.
Beet and Chickpea Salad With Anchovy Dressing
This is a typical Provençal salad. In France beets are sold already cooked, either roasted in wood ovens or steamed.
Oven-Steamed Cod or Mahi Mahi in Green Tomatillo Salsa
I love tomatillo sauce with a range of fish, from salmon to shellfish to the lighter fish I am focused on this week. I used cod for my recipe tests.
Roasted Squash and Red Onion Gratin With Quinoa
I have given you several winter squash gratins over the years; this is my favorite to date, because of the sweet layer of flavor of the roasted squash and the texture of the black quinoa.
Grilled Polenta
Grilled polenta makes a great side dish if you’re grilling meat or fish; it’s also a perfect solution for vegetarians at your barbecue. Squares of polenta are best if they’re thick, so the basic polenta recipe is increased by half and the polenta is cooked for a longer time.
Green Bean Salad With Chickpeas and Mushrooms
A far cry from cafeteria-style three-bean salad, this fresh, lively dish is a mixture of crunch and softness, bright colors and earth tones.
Veggie Balls
The staff at The Meatball Shop in Manhattan eat these around the clock. You’ll often find them at the bar with a big bowl of these and a side of steamed or sautéed spinach. You can also top with Spinach-Basil Pesto. And when it comes to kids, this is a great and tasty way to sneak in more veggies.
Onion and Zucchini Frittata to Go
One of my favorite Provençal omelets is a sweet onion omelet, whose name in Provençal means “harvester’s omelet.” Workers would carry these types of omelets to the fields and eat them as a midmorning meal. I think they’re suitable for just about any meal.
Rice Pilaf With Pistachios and Almonds
This dish is inspired by a number of Persian rice pilafs, but it’s simpler, and calls for much less butter than an authentic Persian pilaf. There are sweet and tart flavors at play here, especially if you use barberries, but apricots also have a tart edge to them. Rose water makes the pilaf wonderfully fragrant.
Pea Dip With Parmesan
With dips there is always something new, because if you substitute “thick purée” for “dip,” the options are limitless.
Cranberry-Brie Arepa
Chef Mauro says you shouldn’t be intimidated by this vegetarian version of the popular Venezuelan sandwich. Masarepa blanca is a precooked corn flour and can be found in Latin markets as well as some larger grocery stores or ordered online. (Don’t be tempted to substitute with another traditional Mexican flour, masa harina.) “Frying that bread seems like a lot of work, but it’s a simple two-step process,” says Chef Mauro. “The sweetness from the cranberry and earthiness of the Brie, tangy mustard and tartness of the apple — it’s really amazing. Even my 3-year-old enjoyed it.”
Garden Vegetable Gratin
A layered potato casserole, a gratin is a French dish named for both the technique and the dish it’s baked in: a fairly shallow, oval, oven-safe baking dish. Nonetheless, you can make it in a standard 9-by-13-inch baking dish, more in keeping with standard American cookware. Here's a vegetable-rich version, from cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, made with potatoes, carrots, zucchini and peas.
Hot-and-Sour Soba Salad
I find any combination of noodles and hot-and-sour dressing fairly addictive, and none more than these earthy buckwheat noodles. You can make a meal of this salad if you add a little protein in the form of tofu, shredded chicken or shrimp.
Lentil and Carrot Salad With Middle Eastern Spices
I combined two of my favorite Mediterranean salads to stretch the cup of lentils I had in my pantry. Take care not to overcook the lentils; they should be slightly al dente. They go quickly from al dente to mushy, so make sure to check after 25 minutes.
Roasted Root Vegetables With Polenta
In this comforting, perfect winter dinner I roast the vegetables and make the polenta in the oven at the same time. To accommodate the temperature requirements of each element of the dish, I use a slightly higher temperature than I usually use for polenta and I roast the vegetables at a lower temperature for longer. I top the polenta with a ladleful of marinara sauce, and spoon the vegetables on top. You could serve the polenta with only the roasted vegetables as well, so I have made the marinara sauce optional.
Corn Pudding With Roasted Garlic and Sage
This comforting pudding has a rich, creamy texture, but the only “cream” comes from the juice of the corn kernels, which are puréed in a blender with a small amount of milk. Toasted garlic has a rich, earthy flavor.
Baked Halibut With Tomato Caper Sauce
This is a pungent tomato sauce that I learned to make in Provence. It goes well with any type of robust fish.
