Puree of Shell Beans and Potato
This puree of fresh shell beans and potato is inspired by a signature dish from Apulia, in southern Italy, that's made with dried, split fava beans and potato. The dish is traditionally served with cooked greens, but you can also offer it as a side dish or as an appetizer with bread. Use any type of bean for this. If you use scarlet runners, the puree will have a purple hue. In any event, it is best to serve the puree warm.

Arugula and Corn Salad With Roasted Red Peppers and White Beans
Canned beans can also be used in this composed salad with a base of sweet corn and pungent arugula. Since you don’t need a broth for this composed salad, canned beans will work, though I always prefer the flavor of beans I’ve cooked myself. I like to use a white bean, either a cannellini or a navy bean. I’ve always loved sweet corn with pungent arugula. I combine the two for a salad bed, which I top with the roasted peppers and beans. So the dish is really two salads, one on top of the other.

Joan Nathan's Haroseth
The Jewish food maven Joan Nathan serves this haroseth at her family's Passover gatherings. More than any other Jewish dish, this sweet blend of fruit and nuts — a mixture that symbolizes the mortar with which the Israelites laid bricks during their enslavement in Egypt — varies wildly depending on the availability of ingredients. The Nathan family version resembles a Moroccan haroseth rather than the popular American version made with apples, nuts and sweet wine.
Spicy Stir-Fried Collard Greens With Red or Green Cabbage
Collard greens don’t have the cachet of popular greens like black kale and rainbow chard. This is probably because collards have a stronger flavor and tougher leaf than many other greens. They do stand up to longer cooking, but they don’t require it. In this stir-fry, they stood in for more traditional greens like Chinese broccoli or bok choy and cooked up crunchy. As a bonus, collards are a great source of calcium. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, a cup of cooked collard greens has more calcium than a glass of skim milk.

Grilled Corn and Parsley Salad
Parsley Hummus
I’m convinced that parsley, used so abundantly in the cuisines of Greece, Turkey, the Middle East and North Africa, is one reason those diets are so healthy. In addition to being an excellent source of vitamins A, C and K and a good source of iron and folate, it is rich in volatile oils (which give it its astringent flavor) and flavonoids. The volatile oils contain components that have been shown to inhibit the activity of harmful elements in the body, and studies have attributed antioxidant properties to the flavonoids, particularly luteolin. It’s important to pick the parsley leaves off the stems, because unlike the stems of cilantro, parsley stems are tough and should be discarded. The leaves reduce quite a bit in volume when you chop them, especially if you chop them fine. Two cups of parsley leaves will yield a little over 1/2 cup of finely chopped parsley. This hummus has a pale green hue and herbal overtones.
