Stir-Fried Turkey Breast With Snap or Snow Peas and Chard
Turkey cutlets are easy to prep and cook quickly, and young snap peas can be almost as tender as the more traditional snow peas for stir-fries. Shopping for ingredients for this week’s recipes in my farmers’ market, I found young, tender snap peas that were almost as delicate as snow peas. I had part of a bunch of Swiss chard and used both vegetables. I like using turkey breast cutlets in stir-fries; they’ve already been cut to a uniform thickness, so all you need to do is slice them across the grain to get even pieces that cook in minutes.
Beef Tongue With Raisin Sauce
Pasta With Shell Beans and Tomatoes
Many cooks find working with fresh shell beans, so smooth and cool in your hands, to be unexpectedly satisfying. The pods may be tough, but the beans inside are tender and ready to cook, and they need not be skinned after removal from the pods. Once shelled, fresh beans require just 40 to 45 minutes of simmering. And in terms of nutrition, they have everything dried beans have to offer: lots of protein and fiber, calcium, iron, folic acid and potassium.At my local farmers’ market, I’ve found large scarlet runner beans (they really are more purple than red, and some farmers call them purple runners); mottled pink-and-white cranberry beans (also known as borlotti, they come in the most beautiful pink pods); creamy, pale yellow cannelinis; and similar bean with pink markings called yellow Indian woman beans. Many are heirloom varieties and each is a little different, but they all have creamy textures and a wonderful fresh flavor. This is a very comforting pasta. I like to use large shells or tubes, which catch the beans and sauce.

Puree of Shell Beans and Potato
This puree of fresh shell beans and potato is inspired by a signature dish from Apulia, in southern Italy, that's made with dried, split fava beans and potato. The dish is traditionally served with cooked greens, but you can also offer it as a side dish or as an appetizer with bread. Use any type of bean for this. If you use scarlet runners, the puree will have a purple hue. In any event, it is best to serve the puree warm.
Grand Aioli
The grand aioli of Provence, a classic dish of simply poached seafood and vegetables, is as unassuming as some of the sauvignon blancs we tasted.But an assertive garlic sauce alongside it becomes a game changer. And when artfully arranged, the array of yellow, orange, green and black has uncommon eye appeal, letting it anchor a summer dinner with relatively little effort.Plan the preparation so you can serve everything just tepid. Everything, that is, except the wine, which must be well chilled and should be poured freely.

Oven-Roasted Mussels With Fresh Spinach
Mussels don’t have to be steamed. They will pop open in a hot, dry cast iron skillet on a grill or in the oven. In this dish they are first tossed with garlic, olive oil and wine, then roasted along with the marinade in a pan in a hot oven. You may have to do this in batches, depending on the size of your skillet or baking dish. I like to use cast iron or enameled cast iron. This particular recipe is inspired by one in "The Mozza Cookbook," by Nancy Silverton. Served over a generous bed of steamed spinach, this is a beautiful dish. If you have leftovers, remove the mussels from the shells, chop the spinach and toss with pasta.
Seafood Paella and Saffron Aioli
Whether it takes place in a city park or country meadow, the summer picnic can be a laid-back affair. Make this easy but luxurious dish earlier in the day, and keep it cool while transporting. The aioli can be made up to two days before. All this dish needs to accompany it is a green salad (choose robust leaves that won’t wilt too quickly) and perhaps a small jam jar of salad dressing. A crusty loaf wouldn’t go amiss.

This is the kind of quick, simple dish Italians often throw together after an all-night party or when spirits are flagging and an infusion of food is called for. Other types of long, thin pasta, like vermicelli, linguine or taglierini, may be substituted. If anchovies are omitted, adjust the salt in the sauce.
