Picadillo
This picadillo recipe by Mely Martínez can be used as a filling for gorditas, burritos, and chiles rellenos. Or use it as a topping for sopes.
Tahini-Glazed Carrots
A little sweet from date syrup, creamy from tahini and very tangy from plenty of lemon juice, this roasted carrot dish — adapted from Adeena Sussman’s cookbook “Sababa” — has charisma to spare. It’s also extremely easy to make. While the carrots roast with olive oil and cumin, all you do is whisk together a simple glaze from pantry ingredients. If you don’t have the date syrup on hand, maple syrup works just as well, making the dish slightly sweeter but no less compelling.
Purple Carrot Meze ( Tarator )
This is a traditional carrot meze dish that is very popular, only this time I used purple carrots for the lovely enchanting color..
Roasted Carrot Salad With Arugula and Pomegranate
This composed, bright salad of roasted carrots, thinly sliced fennel and arugula gains a fruity depth from a splash of pomegranate molasses in the dressing. You can find pomegranate molasses in Middle Eastern groceries and specialty food shops, and it’s worth seeking out for its complex, sweet-tart acidity. Once opened, it will last for years in your pantry. This salad makes a delightful side dish or light main course, especially if you include the optional toasted walnuts or pita chips, which add a satisfying crunch. If you can find multicolored carrots, this already striking salad becomes even prettier.
Fava Meze with Purple Carrots
This is a popular Turkish Meze made from just 3 ingredients, dried fava beans, onions and olive oil. Meze is a selection of food served as an appetizer course usually served with Rakı because they are a perfect complement to the aniseed flavours of the traditional drink. Mezes vary across the country creating a vast array of specialities , many with strong regional associations. But it is more than just a starter. It is an experience. In Turkey, eating meze is a social activity; it’s chatting with friends and drinking rakı around the table for hours on end, while sharing spoons of hot and cold mezes, dipping bread into pickled or olive oil dressings, listening to traditional Turkish music . The beauty of this dish is that you can mold it into any shape you desire which result in aspic-like beauties on your table. This time I added purple carrots to give it a more vibrant color since it is usually a grayish light green. Adding fresh boiled broad beans completes the purple canvas. İt is always and always served with dill,( it is a sin to separate the duo ) sliced red onions and a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. You can try the original recipe without adding purple carrots. Enjoy!
Celeriac Meze with Yogurt & Walnuts
This is another meze dish very quick and easy to make. You can serve it as a side dish or a salad on its own. Celeriac roots are quite often used in Turkish cuisine. I love the earthy flavours of this versatile winter root vegetable cooked or raw.
Fennel carrot
Just had some fennel and carrots in the fridge
Transformational Turkey Pot Pies
I stock my post-Thanksgiving freezer with these, bracing myself for those long days of cookie-baking, gift-wrapping, and card-writing that start on Black Friday and steal away any time to prep a meal. I like to justify my obsession with single-serving ramekins by using them to make individual pies; well-wrapped in plastic and foil they will keep in the freezer until the new year. If you prefer, use a freezer-to-oven two quart casserole dish and serve your whole family. Quantities listed are approximately one serving; multiply as needed.
Simplest roasted tomato and garlic soup
This is one of my favorite fall to summer transitional foods, for me something I make with the last big batch of local tomatoes I buy each late September. The roasting process, though, means that this will work well with tomatoes of pretty much any quality, ripeness, type and shape. This soup is bright in tomato flavor with simple ingredients, and your oven and blender or food processor do all the work! You *can* coat your baking sheet with olive oil instead of lining it, but I find that the oil doesn't really add a flavor to the soup when used in that stage, and it seemed kind of a waste. For storing and keeping soups longer, I feel that adding the fat in as a garnish if you want like with a drizzle of olive oil or cream to serve is better. It's also good for a mixed crowd of non dairy eaters. The carrot trick is something I learned from Mark Bittman, there's something in the flavor of carrots that makes tomatoes taste more tomato-y. Enjoy!

Beef With Horseradish-Beet Aioli
For this modern take on traditional boiled beef, a beef fillet is very gently simmered (never boiled) with root vegetables in stock, then sliced up rosy rare and dolloped with a homemade horseradish aioli and some flaky sea salt. It’s piquant, juicy and on the lighter side of a beefy main course. Tenderloin works best here, but it's not generally considered kosher, so if you are making it for Passover, Rosh Hashana or another Jewish holiday, use a boneless rib roast or center cut London broil. The magenta-colored beet horseradish keeps in the fridge for weeks, and it's also great on roast beef sandwiches.
Bigos
Bigos is usually translated as “hunter’s stew” and is sometimes referred to as the national dish of Poland. This version, adapted from Monika Woods, is rich with meat but heightened with caraway balanced by the tartness of sauerkraut, tomato and sweet fresh cabbage. Woods's mother makes it with the ends and scraps of meat saved and frozen over months’ worth of meals, so feel free to experiment with different cuts. Smoky kielbasa is the only necessary constant.
Whole Grain Blueberry Muffins With Orange Streusel
This master recipe for juicy, whole grain berry muffins is both extremely flexible and extremely rewarding. It is sweet but not sugary, packed with whole grains but not dense, and reasonably rich in fiber, protein, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats. The fresh berries and nuts are interchangeable with dried fruit, coconut or sunflower seeds. And the muffins freeze beautifully; they can go from a 300-degree oven to the breakfast table (or the car) in about 20 minutes.
Japanese Chicken and Root Vegetable Stew
This vegetable-rich stew is based on a Japanese nimono, a simmered dish flavored with kombu, soy sauce and dried shiitake mushroom caps. Although the ingredients may take some searching (check Japanese or Asian markets, or online), the cooking itself is no harder than the usual chicken soup, and the results are just as comforting. You can substitute other root vegetables for the ones called for here. Just make sure to add the sturdier chunks first (taro, celery root, burdock, kohlrabi, turnip, beets) so they have enough time to cook before adding the quicker-cooking ones (turnips, sweet potatoes, winter squash). If you want to make this vegetarian, you can leave out the chicken. It works equally well. Adding cubes of tofu or pieces of fish or seafood during the last few minutes of cooking is also a nice way to go.
Soffritto from the freezer
This freezer soffritto recipe is great. Although the quantities and ingredients vary, we're talking onions, celery and carrots plus garlic, sauteed in a fat.

Pan Roasted Bengali Carrots and Beans with Lime
This recipe is a staple in my house especially during the months of August, September and October when the garden is brimming with crisp green beans and sweet and tender carrots. The recipe uses the classic Bengali 5 spice seasoning called panchphoron an aromatic medley of fennel, cumin, black mustard seeds, nigella seeds and fenugreek, ginger and is finished off with a sprinkle of fresh lime and sometimes when I do not have lime handy I use red wine vinegar. This is similar to the potato and cauliflower recipe that I featured in my cookbook, The Bengali Five Spice Chronicles but, this one is well suited to be eaten as a cooked salad as well. I personally do not add salt to the recipe because I feel it showcases the flavors of the fresh vegetables better, feel free to adapt this to your taste.
