Summer Ratatouille With Farro
Ratatouille tastes best the day after you make it, and in the summer, you can serve it chilled or at room temperature, with a vinaigrette drizzled over the top. Here, it tops a pile of farro. Top it with a poached egg, or with crumbled feta or grated Parmesan.
Amazingly Sweet Slow-Roasted Tomatoes
These don’t look like they are going to taste as amazing as they do, and I know it might be asking a lot to have the oven on for 2 hours on a hot summer day. But it’s on low and the end result will be worth it. Lean over the plate when you bite into the tomatoes, as the juice may squirt. You can eat these as a snack or a side dish, or put them through a food mill for an incredibly sweet sauce.
Trahana With Mushrooms
When trahana is cooked in broth, the broth thickens slightly, as it does when you make risotto with Arborio rice. I make this savory, comforting mixture of mushrooms and trahana the same way I make risotto, adding the broth gradually and stirring vigorously from time to time. You may not need to use all of the broth but it is good to have this much just in case. If you make it ahead and reheat, you will want to add some broth, so don’t throw out what you don’t use.
Grated Carrot Salad With Dates and Oranges
The influences here are Moroccan. The orange juice brings out the sweetness of the carrots. The juices combine in a delectable way, the salad sweetened all the more by the dates and cinnamon.
Cucumber and Radish Raita
This can be spicy or not, depending on what you are serving it with and your taste for heat. Cucumber raita (without the radishes) is a classic accompaniment to curries, but I like it on its own and spooned over grains. It’s also very nice with salmon.
