Over the years, I’ve used the sauce in other ways, namely in this baked penne recipe, and most recently in lasagna in place of tomato sauce. It works beautifully and pairs well with many other flavors and ingredients from caramelized leeks and hot Italian sausage to wilted greens and sautéed mushrooms. Here, I’m using sautéed Swiss chard and oyster mushrooms, but this recipe is easily customizable to what you have on hand and prefer....

We made pad Thai without noodles, three-hour roast chicken, pan-broiled ginger-soy salmon, all of which were delicious. What’s exciting me more than anything at this very moment, however, are these apple pie overnight oats, a mix of rolled oats, almond milk, yogurt, chia seeds, and cubes of apples quickly sautéed with cinnamon and maple syrup. You mix it up at night (or 4 hours before you wish to eat them), and in the morning you awake to a hearty and completely delicious breakfast....

Well, if you do, tinga is something you should add to your repertoire. Made with only a handful of ingredients, tinga derives most of its flavor from chipotles in adobo sauce, which offer both smoke and heat. Traditionally, the dish begin by boiling a chicken, then pulling and shredding the meat from the carcass. Once the meat is off the bone, it stews with onions, chipotles, tomatoes and chicken stock....

Mathura, the birthplace of Lord Shree Krishna is not only known for its temples, but also for its food and delicacies. And today’s dish is a specialty of Mathura – Dubki wale aloo.

Dubki wale aloo or aloo rasa is often paired with bedmi poori or kachori recipe....

In the spirit of old-fashioned, unsubtle, crowd-pleasing recipes, I offer another oldie but goodie from The New New York Times Cookbook (Craig Claiborne, 1979), a recipe my mother pulled out for nearly every cocktail party she hosted and attended for at least two decades. The original recipe calls for wings, which people go gaga over, but the sauce and cooking method work just as well with drumsticks and thighs, if you’re looking for a super-easy dinner adored by children and adults alike....

Let’s get straight to it! This simple method for dry brining calls for salt alone — 1 teaspoon of kosher salt per pound — as opposed to salt and sugar or salt, sugar, and additional spices. And the roasted method is similarly simple: brush the bird with melted butter, season lightly with salt and pepper; then roast until done. This method consistently produces a juicy and delicious turkey with a crisp, burnished skin!...

In this lesser-known Hazan sauce recipe, from Marcella Cucina, canned tomatoes are brightened by olive oil and sautéed onions, a few cloves of crushed garlic, a little white wine, some chopped fresh parsley, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. After about 20 minutes of simmering, it’s done. And it’s delicious. While making this sauce, I learned something, too, from a note in the book: It’s hard to envision this occurrence — clear fat trailing the path of your wooden spoon — but it happens, and when it does, your sauce is done....

This is the best zucchini bread. The original source is unknown, but my mother learned it from her mother, and I’ve been passing it along as well, baking it with my children, who call it “bikini” bread, for years. It’s an oldie but such a goodie, and a hit with adults and children alike. In essence, its a classic quick bread made with both brown sugar and white, eggs and oil, and a heap of zucchini....

Today’s recipe is one my family’s favorite morning breakfast – Paneer Paratha....

The recipe called for roasting sugar pumpkins or any winter squash and a head of garlic together, then puréeing the flesh of the two together with stock. It sounded too simple to be good, but Sally has never steered me wrong, so I made it and was astonished by its flavor. After puréeing the soup, Sally suggests stirring in a few tablespoons of heavy cream or crème fraîche, which I did, but I wouldn’t have missed this final enrichment had I not....

In the beginning of the growing season, I promised to document each CSA I received. To say the least, I have been negligent, especially recently. For this soup, I think I used the contents of three separate CSAs. I definitely roasted two butternut squash and two delicata squash, and I swear I roasted a pumpkin too, but I can’t find any documentation of actually receiving a pumpkin — I’ve written down each week’s content, and pumpkin is no where to be found on my lists....

As noted in a recent post, a trend I’ve observed among the spring 2019 cookbooks is plant-based cooking. I’ve seen lots of vegetarian riffs on classic meaty dishes — buffalo cauliflower, moo shu vegetable wraps — and vegetables and legumes in general comprising the bulk of main course meals: zucchini noodle pad see ew, chickpea chopped salad, black bean and quinoa burgers. Several of them bring a strong smoothie game, too, and two in particular — Healthier Together and Well + Good — have totally transformed my blending routine....

Potatoes in many a form — from creamy and mashed to cheese-crusted and hasselbacked — hold a dear place in my heart. But these crispy, herb-flecked fingerlings hands down are my favorite. I learned how to make them by the caseload. By the caseload of salt, too. I was working at Fork in Philadelphia and gasped the first time I saw the chef unload a box — literally one 3-lb....

And I’m so happy I did. This is by far the easiest — my friends who hate to cook are you listening? — method of preparing tofu I have encountered: First, you simmer tofu in water — yes, water — then you make a simple sauce, a mix of soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, chile flakes, and scallions; then you pour this sauce over the tofu. It is as delicious as Ruth promises....
