Penne With Tomatoes, Basil and Two Cheeses
Crustless ‘Quiche’
I suppose crustless quiche is a contradiction in terms, like seared ceviche. But if, like me, you sometimes crave what amounts to savory pie filling without the hassle of making an actual crust, this is the way to go. Once you take the crust out of the quiche you not only radically alter the concept but expand its possibilities. You can produce a “quiche” Lorraine by softening onions (lots) in butter or bacon fat, then adding eggs, cooked bacon and cream or half-and-half, and baking it all as you do in the recipe here.
Fall Vegetable Cookpot: Braised Red and Green Cabbage
Mushroom Barley Soup
This is the soup that inspired the Campbell's "Mmm Good" campaign.
Pasta With Radicchio, Bacon and Pecans
A char under the boiler shows off radicchio’s pleasantly bitter flavor to its best advantage. Paired with the sweetness of ricotta and pecans, with salty smoked bacon and sharp pecorino, this is a pasta with big flavor. Use round radicchio di Chioggia, long radicchio di Treviso or curly fingered radicchio Tardivo.
Wild Mushroom and Butter Bean Pasta
This is a great pasta for autumn, hearty and deeply flavorful. Wild golden chanterelle mushrooms are especially nice and often available in the fall; choose small, firm, unblemished ones. Otherwise use a mixture of pale oyster mushrooms, including royal trumpets. End-of-summer fresh shelling beans work well here, or any dried white bean, such as cannellini. The simple complementary flavors of olive oil, pancetta, garlic and rosemary are just right, mingling with lightly browned mushrooms and creamy beans. Make sure to keep the pasta firmly al dente. To get the best rosemary flavor, chop it at the last moment, and toss a rosemary sprig into the pot while the pasta is cooking.
Risotto With Tomato Consomme And Fresh Cheese
Turkey Pie With Potatoes, Squash, Chard and Cheddar
This layered savory pie is basically a complete dinner encased in pastry, and quite an elegant way to have Thanksgiving leftovers (though it can be made any time of year). Serve it with gravy and cranberry sauce, or keep it light with a refreshing green salad.
Roulade Of Rainbow Trout With Morel Mushroom Duxelles
Turlu
Polenta With Pomodoro Sauce
Cooking with your child is an act of relaxation, learning and intimacy. It’s love over a stove. For The Times, the New York chef Marco Moreira and his daughter, Francesca, cooked this simple dish together in 2012. It showcased the fresh tomato sauce they made and provides a recipe as appropriate to grandparents as their kin.
Ultrafast Avocado Soup
Little or no cooking is one way to keep the kitchen cool in the summer, but if the food you produce is cool (and delicious, of course), that’s a real plus. Cold soups are a common solution. It’s difficult to imagine one simpler than this one, and impossible to imagine one richer and creamier.
Chipotle Hamburgers On Gorditas
Fennel and Mushroom Salad
Mushrooms and Chives With Tofu Croutons
Bacon-Cheddar Quiche
This mashup of Julia Child recipes, combining elements of her quiche Lorraine and quiche au fromage, then pouring them into a lard-and-butter based pie crust, results in a serious breakfast feast. You could make the whole thing the night before serving it, and consume it at room temperature in the morning. But just making the dough for the crust in advance will save loads of time -- and the pleasure of the bubbling hot dish on a breakfast table is impossible to deny.
Barley ‘Risotto’ With Turkey and Mushrooms
Cabbage Stuffed With Chicken and Mushrooms
Thai Red Curry Noodles With Vegetables
Think of this dish as red curry noodles, version 2.0. By doctoring up jarred red curry paste with fresh chile, garlic, ginger, lemongrass and spices, this dish gets a much more complex, intense flavor than the usual version. Once you have all the ingredients at the ready, the dish comes together quickly. And you’ll have enough leftover curry paste to make this again, even faster the next time. Omit the fish sauce (use soy instead) and egg to make this a vegan dish.
Risotto Primavera
Stir-Fried Chicken With Greens
The chicken is not the centerpiece of this stir-fry, and you can leave it out, or use tofu instead, for a vegetarian version. It adds flavor and some substance, but this stir-fry is mostly about antioxidant-rich cruciferous vegetables, with a red pepper thrown in for color, adding its own set of nutrients (anthocyanins, beta carotene, vitamin C).
Savory Clafoutis With Corn and Swiss Chard
Clafoutis are baked French pancakes, usually filled with sweet cherries. This savory version calls for corn, Swiss chard and leeks instead of fruit, and includes plenty of Gruyère for a salty depth. It will emerge from the oven puffed and golden, then quickly deflate. Fear not, it still tastes wonderful after it flattens out, though for the best presentation, try to time it so your guests are at the table when it is ready. Serve it for brunch or a light dinner with a tomato salad on the side, if you’re making this in tomato season. In winter, sliced oranges drizzled with olive oil and salt are nice, too.
Thiebou Dienn (Cheb)
Persian Cod With Herbs and Tamarind
In this traditional Persian preparation for fish, called ghalieh mahi, a profusion of fresh herbs is slowly simmered with caramelized onions and tangy tamarind until the whole thing cooks down into a silky, sweet-tart sauce with a haunting flavor. This version, adapted from Nasim Alikhani from Sofreh restaurant in Brooklyn, uses both fresh and dried fenugreek, which is worth seeking out for its musky, forest-like flavor. But mint makes a good substitute if that’s what you can get. You can use any firm white fish fillets here. Or try pouring the sauce over roasted cauliflower steaks for a vegetarian take.
