Vitamin C Superfruit Salad

Feeling under the weather? This superfruit salad will give you the perfect jolt of vitamins you need to get back on the path of recovery.

Slow-Cooked Pork with Chickpeas

Canned chickpeas are perfect for this one-pot dish because they become even more creamy as they warm in the cooking liquid. In case you’re not a fan, you can go with whatever canned bean you like.

Hot Honey Chicken Thighs With Fried Bread

You’re essentially making a large chicken fat–doused crouton here, people.

One-Skillet Creamy Chickpeas With Eggs and Prosciutto

Chickpeas in a spicy tomato-cream bath are what you need on a weeknight.

Spinach-Yogurt Dip With Sizzled Mint

Our version of this dip uses spinach, but it can be made with cooked beets or roasted eggplant, too.

Hot-Pink Pearl Onion Pickles

These sweet and very tangy neon pickles pair best with grilled meats, stews, and braises.

Crunchy Baked Saffron Rice with Barberries

If you don’t rinse the rice, it will be gummy. If you don’t parboil the rice, it’ll be dry and tough when it comes out of the oven. If you don’t use yogurt, eggs, and oil, it will never get golden and crisp. Now you know!

Charred Sweet Potatoes with Toum

This recipe is nice twice. The roasting and honey-glazing method is a great way to make sweet potatoes, and you also get an eggless garlic sauce that you’ll use again and again.

Pomegranate-Glazed Chicken

The yogurt in the marinade, along with the honey and pomegranate molasses in the glaze, will give the chicken lots of color—the dark, charred parts are extra tasty.

Spiced Snapper with Cucumber Salad

Roasting fish fillets that have been oiled and seasoned is a fail-safe, hands-off technique with a big flavor payoff.

Spiced Dal with Fluffy Rice and Salted Yogurt

Dal tends to firm as it sits, so make sure to add a splash or so of water if you’re reheating it.

The Greenest Coconut Curry with Clams and Rice Noodles

Coconut cream is what gives this soup its velvety richness. Otherwise it’d just be green juice and noodles!

Crispy Tofu in Shiitake Broth

Make a double or triple batch of the dashi and freeze in airtight containers to keep for making savory soups on the fly.

Chicken and Tomato Stew With Caramelized Lemon

Cooking lemon slices just to this side of burnt adds a layer of complex flavor to this comforting dish.

Brothy Beans with Farro and Mushrooms

Stirring an egg yolk into each steaming bowl just before eating adds richness and body to this subtly spicy soup.

Citrus and Avocado Salad with Orange Water

Salting the citrus draws out some of the juice, which becomes part of the vinaigrette.

Chicken Stew with Potatoes and Radishes

This one-pot stew takes its cues from chicken paprikash. Cooking low and slow is the key to getting deep flavor—and ensuring the potatoes are creamy and the chicken is pull-apart tender.

Confetti Rice with Chicken in Spicy Garlic Broth

We took a page from chef and author David Tanis and added a bunch of seedy, pickley things to our sushi rice.

Steak Short Ribs with Crispy Garlic and Chile Oil

These crunchy garlic chips belong on every steak you make.

Lamb and Winter Squash Soup

If you can’t find delicata squash in your neck of the woods, acorn or butternut will do the trick.
