Sautéed Potatoes With Black Kale and Nigella
One of the reasons we love latkes so much is because the browned crispy edges of potatoes are so delicious. Even when they are just browned and not particularly crispy, as they are here, they are irresistible. It helps to use a heavy nonstick pan for these so that you can cook the potatoes long enough and on high enough heat to get the browned edges, without losing those edges to the surface of the pan, where they will undoubtedly stick once they have absorbed the oil. I have been using a potato called simply “yellow potatoes” for this; they are slightly starchy, just a little less so than a Yukon gold or a fingerling, both of which will work just as well. Blanch the kale before you cook the potatoes, cut it into slivers, and add to the potatoes once they are tender. I season the mix with nigella seeds, one of my favorite spices; you can also add something with a kick, like cayenne or chile powder, if you want to pump up the heat.
Roasted Pepper and Green Bean Salad
Sweet and Sour Peppers Stuffed With Rice or Bulgur and Fennel
These sweet and sour peppers are great on their own, but they can also be filled. I like the filled peppers both cold, as sort of a salad, and warm. This is one instance in which fleshy red peppers work best.
Blueberries au Citron
Sautéed Spicy Carrots With Black Quinoa
This is inspired by a classic Moroccan spiced cooked carrot salad (Ommok Houriya is one variation of the transliteration). Carrots and cumin have long been a favorite combination of mine; added to this mix is fresh green chile and crushed coriander. I finish this off with a sprinkling of black quinoa and fresh mint (cilantro would also be good). If on the off-chance you can find a selection of multicolored carrots – yellow, purple, and orange – the dish will be all the more beautiful, but it is pretty enough with regular orange carrots. Cook them long enough to bring out the sweetness, which means longer than crisp-tender. They should be soft, but not mushy.
Spiced Roasted Almonds
Roasted nuts are standard snacks, and almonds are a healthy food. But it is easy to eat too many. I find that if they are a little spicy or hot, delicious as they are, they are not quite as addictive.
Stir-fried Tofu With Carrots and Red Peppers
Make sure to cut the carrots and red peppers into the same size julienne (julienne are thin strips) so that they cook at the same rate. Both of these vegetables keep well in the refrigerator, so this should be a dish you can pull together easily.
Blackberry Lemonade
Grout
This recipe comes from Pawleys Island in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. It could have come from the pages of a Dickens tale, and it’s called grout. It is a mold made from lemon skins, port or sherry and almonds and raisins. As could be expected from the island’s leading family, Isabelle and Alberta Lachicotte provided the recipe for “Recipes From Pawleys Island,'' put out by All Saints Waccamaw Episcopal Church, one of the oldest parishes there. It has been served by Lachicottes on festive occasions for years.
Red Pepper Pasta Sauce
Red Pepper-Eggplant Ajvar
Ajvar is a lush, piquant spread based on roasted red peppers and olive oil. It has the same kind of tangy sweetness that ketchup adds to a burger.
Arborio and Red Rice Risotto With Baby Broccoli and Red Peppers
Baby broccoli has thinner stems than regular broccoli and long, feathery flowers that cook up nicely in this mixed-rice risotto.

Coconut Oat Pilaf
The narrow spectrum of highly sweetened morning food is limiting and ultimately boring. This coconut oat pilaf, which most folks might think of as an evening dish, is spicy and aromatic. And it will change the way you think about oatmeal.
Poached Pears
Back in 2012, Mark Bittman and Sam Sifton tackled the task of making up a bountiful meal for 15 at a friend’s Brooklyn home. “We wanted to impress our guests without driving ourselves crazy. We decided on sturdy and manageable main courses, but we wanted an eye-popping starter and dessert,” Mr. Sifton said. These poached pears in port, paired with an orange, almond and olive oil cake, rose to the occasion. Ready in about 45 minutes, and without a lot of fuss over the stove, it’s a great way to end a dinner party.
