Miso Mayonnaise
Don’t limit your use of miso to soup! It makes for a fantastic compound butter. It’s terrific cut with mirin and slathered over chicken. And here, stirred into mayonnaise, it becomes a consciousness-expanding condiment.
Mushroom piroshki
Spicy Caramel Popcorn
Sweet, sticky caramel popcorn gets a kick of cayenne pepper and the combination is nonpareil. Once the caramel is poured over the popcorn, work quickly and let it cool a bit before serving. The snack is easy to make, and running out will likely be a problem -- so have extra supplies on hand.
Pizza With Caramelized Onions, Ricotta and Chard
This luxurious pizza is topped with tender caramelized onions spread over a creamy mixture of ricotta, Parmesan cheese and chopped Swiss chard.
Radish, Goat Cheese And Black Bread Canapes
White-Bean Chili
Spinach and Garlic Omelet
You can use bagged baby spinach or stemmed and washed bunch spinach for this simple omelet with Mediterranean flavors.
Lentil Salad With Beets and Ginger
Fresh Corn And Red-Pepper Blini
Buckwheat or Cornmeal Blini With Radish Topping
In Russia, this topping traditionally is made with cream cheese and served on black bread canapés. I use labne — drained yogurt — in this version and love the results. This topping also makes a nice snack by itself.
Wild Mushrooms a la Russe (Wild mushrooms in sour cream)
Goat Cheese and Apple Omelet
This omelet of green apples and goat cheese is an unusual pairing -- at least in the omelet world -- but a wonderful one from Garrett Oliver, the brewmaster of Brooklyn Brewery. On the day we made this recipe, he paired the dish with a glass of Blanche de Chambly, a Belgian-style wheat beer made in Canada.
Corn Bread and Squash Stuffing
Blini With Mushroom Caviar
In Russian kitchens, mushroom caviar is made with cooked mushrooms and lots of sour cream. I use canned tomatoes in this version, and the result makes a savory topping for blini (and for latke, I found, as I tested the recipe during Chanukah). Make sure to finely chop the mushrooms.
Eggplant Caviar
Kasha With Mushrooms
Clear Summer Borscht
Borscht, an Eastern European beet soup, carries with it strong associations of dark, ceaseless Russian winters. But this glistening borscht is meant to be served cold, at the height of summer. Light, lemony and infused with garlic, the soup is utterly refreshing, even thirst-quenching. If you enrich it with yogurt, the color will be dark pink. If you don’t, it will be a clear, dark red.
Stir-Fried Rice Noodles With Beets and Beet Greens
I like to use golden or Chioggia beets for this stir-fry. Whatever beets you use, slice them very thin; for best results use a mandolin. Use a wok, not a pan, for stir-fried noodles as noodles will spill out of a pan. Tongs are a good tool for stirring and tossing the noodles, but a long-handled spatula will also work.
Pasta With Cauliflower
This dish is derived from a Marcella Hazan recipe. It’s dead simple, and the cauliflower can be precooked a day ahead or so. Or, the whole thing can be made at once: cook the cauliflower in water, scoop it out and then, later, cook the pasta in the same water. It’s already boiling, and you want the taste of the cauliflower anyway, so why not? The cauliflower gets cooked more, in a skillet with toasted garlic, so don’t boil it to death, although you do want it to be tender. And in the original Minimalist recipe, from 2000, bread crumbs were added to the skillet along with the cauliflower, but since some pasta water is usually added to the skillet to keep the mixture saucy, the bread crumbs become soggy. Better, then, to stir the bread crumbs in at the very end. They should be very coarse and ideally homemade, and if they’re toasted in olive oil in a separate skillet before you toss them in, so much the better.
Rice Pilaf With Carrots and Parsley
Carrots and leeks make a sweet combination, but you can also use regular onion in this pilaf. To get 1/2 cup of finely chopped parsley, begin with 2 cups leaves picked from the stems.
Apple-Cornmeal Dressing
Red and Black Rice With Leeks and Pea Tendrils
I made this on impulse when I found pea tendrils at the farmers’ market this week, but you don’t have to put aside the recipe until spring brings them to your markets — use baby spinach instead. The dish is inspired by a recipe for farro and black rice with pea tendrils from Suzanne Goin’s “Sunday Suppers at Lucques."
Fettuccine With Roasted Mushrooms
Pappardelle With Beets, Beet Greens and Goat Cheese
If you don’t mind eating pink pasta and you like beets with goat cheese, you’ll love this. I roasted my beets, blanched the greens and paired them with wide pappardelle noodles and goat cheese, both excellent partners. Make sure that you don’t drain the water from the pasta pot when the noodles are done (lift them out with a pasta insert or with a skimmer), as you need some of the cooking water to thin out the goat cheese.
