Eggs Poached In Red-Wine Sauce (Les Oeufs Poches Au Vin Rouge)
Escarole Salad With Smoky Halloumi Croutons
If you believe the only thing better than cheese is fried cheese, then you may just love halloumi. Because of its high melting point, halloumi browns before it melts, making it perfect for frying, grilling or any kind of searing. Here, it’s pan-fried with smoked paprika, then added to an escarole salad with a garlicky, lemony dressing. Slivered red onion adds pungency, while fresh parsley leaves brighten everything. If you can get the pomegranate seeds, do use them; they add a juicy sweetness that’s perfect with the richness of the cheese. Serve it by itself as a first or salad course, or with roasted vegetables, fish or chicken to round it out.
Millet Polenta With Mushrooms and Broccoli or Broccoli Rabe
I had envisioned serving this savory mix of mushrooms over a bowl of farro, and farro — or brown rice or barley, for that matter — would certainly work well. But I made the mushrooms on the same day that I made the Millet Polenta With Tomato Sauce, Eggplant and Chickpeas and ended up spooning them over the millet, which was so delicious and comforting that I voted on the millet as the accompanying grain. Cornmeal polenta would also work well.
Tomato-Onion Compote
Mushroom Spring Rolls in Lettuce Cups
At Spice Market, Jean-Georges Vongerichten fills spring rolls with oyster mushrooms and shiitakes, and spices them with ginger, lemon zest, garlic and green chilies. They recall a trip he took to Singapore years ago.

Roasted Artichokes With Ricotta and Peas
The key to roasting artichokes is to make sure to trim away all of the tough, leathery outer leaves until only the soft pale ones in the center remain. It may seem like you’re throwing a lot away — and you are. But because roasting encourages crispness, any borderline-fibrous bits will toughen up even more, becoming impossible to chew. So for the most tender vegetables, stay on the side of over-trimming, rather than under-trimming. In this recipe, the browned artichokes are tossed with fresh herbs, peas and plenty of olive oil (use your best bottle), then scattered on top of lemony ricotta cheese. Serve this, with or without crostini, as an appetizer or part of a light supper with a salad.

Farfalle With Cabbage and Black Kale
Cavolo nero, or black kale, is my favorite of all the kales. For this dish I cut the blanched kale and cabbage into thin ribbons and cook them in a little olive oil with garlic, shallot and chili flakes.

Mughlai Paratha
Mughlai paratha is a popular street food found in Bangladesh that traces back to the Mughal Empire. It’s a crisp, flaky, pan-fried flatbread that’s stuffed with fluffy eggs and fiery chiles, and gently spiced with earthy turmeric. Paratha is extremely customizable, so you can use what you have; this version is vegetarian, but keema, a spiced ground meat mixture, is often added. Vegetables like diced bell pepper or a handful of baby spinach are untraditional and welcome, but be mindful of the water content of the vegetables you choose or the eggs will weep. The end result is satisfyingly savory and addictive in its contrasting textures.

Roasted Eggplant With Spiced Chickpeas
Eggplant is a staple in the Arab world, the source of the dish called moussaq’a, a classic (and vegan to boot, if you leave off the yogurt). The key to cooking eggplant is to do it with high heat that concentrates the flavor and the flesh.
