Ají (Colombian-Style Fresh Salsa)

Colombian food is typically not spicy on its own. Instead, a hot sauce called ají — also the Colombian word for chiles — is served tableside. There are as many types of ají as there are regions in Colombia, but this version, heavy on cilantro and onions, is a good all-purpose sauce that goes especially well with fried foods. Many ají recipes include some white vinegar or lime juice. I prefer using plain water to dilute mine, and I serve lime wedges on the side for diners to add at their discretion. This recipe uses half an onion and half a tomato; use the other half for empanadas.

One-Pan, One-Pot Thanksgiving Dinner

Perfect for a small gathering, this streamlined Thanksgiving meal is cooked in one medium pot and on one sheet pan (and OK, yes, it also calls for an extra bowl). It has all the traditional flavors of the classic menu — juicy turkey, crisp-topped stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, roasted brussels sprouts and marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes — but with a fraction of work (and far fewer dishes).

Roasted Tomato, Mozzarella and Pesto Calzones

Roasted Tomato, Mozzarella and Pesto Calzones

The secret to crispy calzones: Bake them in a very hot oven, and use drier ingredients in the filling to prevent the dough from becoming soggy. Slow-roasting the tomatoes for the filling concentrates their flavor and pulls out their juices, while pesto adds punch without contributing too much moisture. Fresh mozzarella is just right for many things, but it’s too wet for a calzone, so use drier whole-milk mozzarella instead. If you prefer to use store-bought pizza dough, you’ll need three (8-ounce) balls for this recipe.

Chicken Potpie With Cornbread Biscuits

A showstopper of a dinner made for cold nights, this spin on classic chicken pot pie is the perfect all-in-one dinner when you’re craving something hearty and comforting. The cornmeal and buttermilk biscuits that bake on top of the filling are the best of both worlds: crisp and flaky on top and soft and dumpling-like on the bottom. A hint of sweetness in the biscuits makes them reminiscent of classic American cornbread. This is not a recipe for rushed weeknights, though you can save time by making the biscuit dough and prepping the vegetables in advance (see Tip).

Pickled Deviled Eggs

Before they are deviled, these hard-cooked eggs are pickled in rice vinegar, brown sugar and garlic, along with slivered red onions. The pickling brine dyes the egg whites deep pink, and the onions turn pungently sweet and sour, making a terrific garnish for the deviled eggs. And after the eggs are gone, you’ll still be left with plenty of pickled onions that will last for weeks in the refrigerator. Add them to salads, tacos, grilled meats and sandwiches. You won’t be sorry to have them on hand.

Tuna Noodle Casserole

This updated tuna noodle casserole recipe stays true to the classic 1950s dish, but substitutes a rich, homemade sauce for the can of cream of mushroom soup. The addition of cremini mushrooms — along with celery, onions, peas and parsley — makes this casserole surprisingly vegetable-packed, while briny capers complement the tuna and balance out the creamy sauce. Like any good tuna noodle casserole, this recipe’s pièce de résistance is the potato chip topping.

Greek Baked Fish With Tomatoes and Onions

The robust flavors in the tomato sauce work well with a variety of white fishes. If you have traveled in the Greek Islands, chances are you have had this fish. Use a white-fleshed fish that will stand up to the robust flavors in the tomato sauce. From the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s list of best choices I recommend Pacific cod or halibut, black cod or striped bass. From the “Good Alternatives” list I recommend Mahi Mahi from United States waters.

Bison Steaks with Smoky Wild Rice

I seared a couple of boneless bison strip loin steaks in a cast-iron skillet, which gave me pan juices so I could produce a bit of intense sauce to drizzle on the meat. Because bison has a slightly sweeter finish than beef, I combined a tart pomegranate molasses with red wine for deglazing. A few dollops of good butter compensated for the leanness of the meat and turned the pan juices into a dark, syrupy finishing sauce. Bison is less marbled than beef cuts like rib roast, rib-eye or strip loin, so it should be cooked no more than medium-rare. Alongside the bison I served a wild rice pilaf infused with double-smoked bacon, rendered fragrant with ground cloves and steeped in beef stock that had been sharpened with a little of the pomegranate molasses.
