Sonia’s Phyllo and Feta Torte With Dill and Nutmeg
Here is a recipe for a torte, appropriate for a springtime lunch, that looks daunting, but really is not. The only challenge is finding the right Greek feta, by which we mean something not too salty but not too mild. Think of the layering of the phyllo sheets as a meditative exercise, clearing the clutter of the week and preparing you for something delicious. Gild it with Greek honey for a welcome touch of sweetness.

Greek Baked Beans With Honey and Dill
These beans become creamy as they bake slowly in a sweet and sour broth flavored with honey and vinegar. You can make the dish with regular white beans, which will require soaking, or with large lima beans, which will not.
Giant Limas With Winter Squash
I love the fact that beans, lentils and greens symbolize prosperity in the New Year in places as disparate as the American South and the South of France. I wonder if it’s really because lentils and beans are round like coins and swell when they cook, or if it’s because that’s about all anybody can afford to eat after the excesses of the holiday season. The notion of thrift wouldn’t apply to some of the other foods that symbolize good luck or prosperity in certain cultures – fish, for instance, or saffron. I’ve taken traditions from different places this week and thrown some of them together, focusing mainly on lentils, beans, greens and fish. These are simple dishes that I hope will help you to begin 2012 on a happy, healthy note. Look for more New Year’s dishes in the Recipes for Health index. Baking in a slow oven is the best way to cook large lima beans, which can fall apart easily if boiled too hard. This dish is luxuriously creamy (though there’s no cream in it) and comforting.
Platanos Maduros (Fried Yellow Plantains)
Here, two simple ingredients yield huge, complex results. There's something about frying deep yellow plantains in oil that brings out their sweetness. The crisp outside yields to a soft, sweet center, the complement to a platter of rice and beans and garlicky pork. But, to be honest, they're so good, they might not even make it to the table.

Platanos Verdes (Fried Green Plantains)
Mashed Potatoes With Chives
This is about as simple as it gets: classically prepared mashed potatoes – just potatoes, milk, butter and salt – get a generous handful of pretty chives stirred in. Be sure to add plenty of salt, and taste as you go; good mashed potatoes rely on it.
