Stir-Fried Lettuce With Seared Tofu and Red Pepper
Stir-frying is a great way to use up your overabundance of lettuce. This recipe calls for romaine, but you can try it with whatever you have on hand, as long as it’s sturdy enough to stand up to some heat. In China, where lettuce symbolizes prosperity and wealth, a simpler dish made with the lettuce only is served at New Year’s.
Raspberry Crumble
I made this crumble because I had some less-than-delicious raspberries on hand — when you bake them in a crumble, the flavors deepen. Most of the sweetness is in the topping; the filling is somewhat tart. The newest of the grainy crumble toppings that I keep on hand in the freezer, this one has a particularly nutty flavor because of its toasted flaxseeds. Use certified gluten-free oats if you like.
Gluten-Free Buckwheat, Poppy Seed and Blueberry Muffins
The buckwheat flour is high-fiber and makes a dark, richly-flavored muffin. Already a big fan of buckwheat flour in pancakes, I decided to try it as the main ingredient in a gluten-free muffin and love the results. It is a high-fiber flour and makes a dark, richly-flavored muffin.

Lemon Poppy Tea Cake
Four-Cheese Flatbreads
You can make personal pizzas quickly by using premade naan, flatbread or pita as the base, then topping with whatever sounds good to you. Here, the combination of feta, Parmesan, ricotta and mozzarella hits every note — salty, creamy, tangy and gooey. Corn’s sweetness balances the savoriness, and a generous amount of black pepper cuts through the richness, as it does in cacio e pepe. Feel free to swap the cheeses based on what you have — pecorino instead of Parmesan, fontina instead of mozzarella — and incorporate any toppings you like: spinach, herbs, garlic, red-pepper flakes, hot honey and so on.
Baby Carrots With Nutmeg and Coriander
Mango Lassi Ice
I set out to make something more like a sherbet, a mango lassi ice. I calculated the amount of sweetening needed for the right texture and flavor in a blend of buttermilk and mango. As a general rule, the sugar in fruit ice should be 15 to 20 percent of the weight of the fruit. This time, I used honey instead of sugar. The result is a creamy, tangy sherbet.
Red Coconut Rice Pudding With Mango
This dish is inspired by a classic Thai sweet made with sticky rice. The red Bhutanese rice has a very nice chewy texture, and the pudding has a light purple-red hue.
Poppy, Lemon and Sunflower Seed Pancakes
These are inspired by Heidi Swanson’s poppy seed and sunflower seed pancakes. She serves hers with a citrus marmalade, and also suggests making a savory version and serving it with a compound butter (I’d go Mediterranean and serve the savory ones with Greek-style yogurt). I decided to stir some lemon zest into the batter. I dotted some of the pancakes with raspberries and left others plain. Loved them both ways.
Torta Turchesca (Venetian Rice-Pudding Tart)
Creamy Bucatini With Spring Onions and Mint
Rich and creamy in texture, and full of sweet-savory onion flavor, this rather mild-looking pasta packs a wallop on the fork. The pistachios add color and crunch, but other nuts work nearly as well. And if you can’t get spring onions (that is, fresh bunches of onions with their greens still attached, available in late spring and early summer), you can substitute regular onions or a combination of alliums, such as sweet onions, scallions, ramps or leeks.

Gruyère-Stuffed Roasted Red Peppers With Raisins and Olives
My usual method for roasting peppers is to sit each pepper on an open flame, letting the skin turn black and ashen in spots. It’s time-consuming, especially if I’m roasting more than four peppers at once (I have a four-burner stove), so I blacken them all together under the broiler. (You could also use a grill.)
Stir-Fried Cabbage With Cumin Seeds
Cabbage is rarely a side dish on its own, but it is in this recipe. It takes on some Indian flavor with caraway seeds and the garam masala, and it maintains its crunch with the quick heat of the stir fry. It is excellent with lamb.

Broccoli Stem and Red Pepper Slaw
I never throw out broccoli stems. If I don’t use them for pickles or stir-fries, I’ll shred them and use them in a delicious slaw like this one.
