Brined Turkey

This recipe, from the barbecue expert Steven Raichlen, was originally published alongside a pair of recipes for smoking the Thanksgiving turkey: one that has you smoking it outdoors on a charcoal grill, the other indoors using a stovetop smoker and a conventional oven. But there's no reason you couldn't brine the turkey according to the method below and then roast it to bronzed perfection.

Seared Pork Cutlets With Green Garlic Salsa Verde

This recipe amplifies the green in the garlic by stirring it into an herb-filled salsa verde. You can also use regular garlic, though you might want to reduce the amount by half. I also added garlic chives to the mix just because I saw them at the farmers’ market and figured a little more garlic flavor could only help. (Regular chives are perfectly fine.) The sauce, with plenty of chopped parsley and mint, is intense, bright and herbal. It makes a bright counterpoint to rich slices of seared pork. I used butterflied slices of loin that cook very quickly, but you can use bone-in chops if you give them a few more minutes on the fire (or pound them first).

Soft-Shell Crabs With Curry Butter

Fans of soft-shell crab look forward to the season — late spring and early summer — with feverish anticipation. The entire delicious crab is edible and may be prepared in many ways; deep-fried, grilled or pan-cooked. Here they are sautéed in a spicy curry butter, which complements the crabs’ rich flavor. (The recipe makes more butter than is needed for this dish, but is wonderful to have on hand. Use extra for cooking vegetables or eggs.) Serve 1 large or 2 small soft-shell crabs per person.

T-Bone Steak Burger

The chef Yannick Alléno served a thick, succulent hamburger for his casual Paris restaurant, Le Dali. For those burgers, Mr. Alléno's butcher, Yves-Marie Le Bourdonnec delivered a mix of chuck and beef rib. But the butcher thought the American T-bone steak to be the ideal. The T-bone does not exist in France, but to make his point, Mr. Le Bourdonnec made his own. He combined a piece of filet, which is tender but less flavorful, with a piece of contrefilet, which is marbled and tasty, but slightly less tender.

Stir-Fried Leeks With Amaranth and Green Garlic

In April, I found piles of baby leeks, red spring onions, amaranth and green garlic at one stand at the local farmers’ market. I bought some of each on impulse, and this dish is what became of them. Amaranth is a beautiful leafy green used in the cuisines of China and Mexico. You can find it at some Asian markets and farmers’ markets.
