Veal Chops With Anchovy Sauce

Simple Roast Chicken With Greens (and Bonus Stock)
This thrifty dinner is a a crisp-skinned treat that leaves leftovers for lunch, and, if you like, a 2-quart container of golden broth. Reserve the bones, and let them simmer in salted water with a few simple aromatics, while you answer emails, check the news or drink some wine. The chicken here is first roasted in a skillet, so even the drippings don't go to waste, used to sauté some hearty greens as a side. But you can use any pan you like, as long as it has a rim to catch the juices. (This recipe is part of the From the Pantry series, started in the days after the coronavirus lockdown.)

Rainbow Carrot Stir-Fry
In January, a friend gave me beautiful lacquered chopsticks from Shanghai. That was a spur for me to pull out my wok for a stir-fry of spring onions and young carrots of all colors: purple and dark red-orange, yellow and the familiar orange. I’ve made many rainbow pepper stir-fries, but this time I used my multicolored carrots, and cut them into matchsticks so they would cook quickly along with the spring onions. I wanted this to be a main dish, so I added tofu, as well as the aromatics that I always use in my stir-fries: garlic, ginger, dry sherry, soy sauce and a bit of sugar. The list of ingredients in stir-fry recipes can look long, even daunting. But most of the ingredients don’t require knife skills, just measuring spoons, so the preparation is simple. And the actual cooking goes very quickly, so quickly that it’s important to have everything prepped and within reach of your wok. Read through the recipe a couple of times before you begin cooking, because once you start, you won’t have time to refer to it.

Sweet-Potato Tian With Spiced Shrimp and Prosciutto

Pizza With Spring Onions and Fennel
Fennel and spring onions, cooked gently until they begin to caramelize, make a sweet topping for a pizza. Fennel is an excellent source of vitamin C and a very good source of fiber, folate and potassium. Fennel also contains many phytonutrients, including the flavonoids rutin and quercitin, as well as a compound called anethole, mainly responsible for its anise-y flavor, that may have anti-inflammatory properties.

Shrimp Gumbo

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).

Roasted Vegetable Mirepoix

Deep-Fried Spring Onions
This dish is inspired by something similar served at Chez Panisse in Berkeley. It works as a side, of course, but also as an hors d'oeuvre served with drinks. More spring recipes.

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.

Green Garlic and Butter Clams

Green Garlic Toast
Green garlic is harvested while still immature, before the bulb has a chance to fully develop the cloves we know so well. It looks a lot like a scallion, with a mild garlic flavor that’s bright and fresh tasting. You can use both the white and green tender green parts of the stalk, trimming away any yellowing or woody parts near the top. In this recipe, minced raw green garlic is mixed with butter, Parmesan and chives, then used to top toast. It’s pungent, herbal and sweet with a bite from the chile flakes. Serve these plain, or top with any number of embellishments – sliced avocado, sliced tomatoes, dollops of ricotta cheese, fillets of anchovies or sardines. They make an excellent nibble with drinks, or serve a large portion with a salad for a light lunch. If you’re not using it immediately, the green garlic butter will freeze well for up to 3 months. And the piquant butter can also be used to cook eggs, or tossed with asparagus, pasta or rice.

Pureed Potatoes With Carrots And Onions

Whole Wheat Spaghetti With Green Garlic and Chicory
This dish is inspired by a classic oil and garlic pasta. I’ve added chicory, a bitter green that is much loved in southern Italy but underused here. It’s sold with lettuces in the supermarket, often called escarole or curly endive. Chicory contains a type of soluble fiber called inulin, which some studies suggest may have a positive effect on blood sugar levels.

Double Garlic Soup
This creamy soup of pairs two spring delicacies: green garlic, which are the tender bulbs that arrives early in the season, still attached to the greens, and garlic scapes, which look like curlicue tulip stems are the flower shoots of the garlic bulb. The two are sautéed in butter, then puréed.

Focaccia With Tomato Sauce and Green Garlic
We call this “pizza focaccia” in our house, as it does resemble a thick-crusted pizza. Make it when you crave a tomato focaccia and fresh tomatoes aren’t in season. I like to use fire-roasted canned tomatoes for this, as they develop such a deep, double-roasted flavor when the sauce bakes on top of the bread.
