Dinner

Set yourself up for a stunning salad by using a mix of multicolored root vegetables, or keep it monochromatic if there’s a single standout at the market.

This salad is at its most dramatic—and most delicious—with a variety of leaves, some mild and large (butter, Bibb, Little Gem), some spicy and small (like arugula).

Hard-boiled eggs, roasted sweet potatoes, and a creamy cashew dressing make this salad recipe a full meal, not a sidekick.

This recipe is exceptionally weeknight-friendly (it goes from start to finish in less than an hour) and fully adaptable depending on the tastes of your family.

These pork burgers—inspired by Southeast Asian dumplings—are an ideal weeknight meal. The sweet and spicy mayo acts as both a dressing for the slaw and a sauce for the burger.

For an easy 15-minute dinner, steam a batch of potatoes in advance. Then, top them with sour cream, avocado, radishes, pickled onions, and other fixings for a quick variation of the taco bar concept.

Made with leftover risotto, these rice balls are stuffed with prosciutto, Parmesan, and parsley. Serve them as an appetizer at your next cocktail party.

This fragrant, hearty stew is traditionally cooked in an earthenware dish on the stove-top, but a slow cooker does the job almost as well.

When you warm lettuce in butter and wine it gets velvety and rich—a perfect foil to the pop of sweet peas. Serve this spooned over quiche for brunch.

Quickly shallow-frying chicken halves locks in their juices and yields crispy, golden-brown skin. Serve them with garlicky potatoes, fried shallots, and dill.

For the very best results, brine the chicken, sear it over the flames, and finish cooking it on the other side of the grill before tossing with a robust vinaigrette.

Think: bacon and cheddar sandwich, but on a crouton. These bite-sized snacks with crispy crusts will leave all the other hors d'oeuvres in the dust.

This is project cooking at its best: tender manicotti wrappers are made by quickly cooking batter into pasta-like crepes. They're filled with a creamy trio of ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella, and covered with fresh tomato sauce before baking.
