Weeknight Meals

Snapper Escabèche with Chiles, Garlic, and Oregano

Because it’s so delicate, the flesh can break down when marinated first, sometimes causing the fish to fall apart. A post-grill bath delivers flavor without compromising texture.

Grilled Clams with Fennel-Tarragon Butter

When you toss hot clams right off the grill with some flavored butter, the butter melts and mingles with the clam liquor, creating an irresistible combination.

Pasta Primavera with Crispy Onion Gremolata

We wanted a recipe that was a better expression of “primavera,” literally "spring" in Italian. We swapped the oft used tomatoes and angel hair pasta for sturdy linguini and the first of spring’s green offerings.

Vadouvan-Roasted Cauliflower with Harissa Chickpea Curry

Faster! Faster! Skip the pickling and just top the curry with sliced fresh Fresno chiles. Or leave them out altogether if you’re spice-averse.

Greens and Cheese Vegetable Lasagna

A decent amount of béchamel keeps this tomato-less lasagna moist as it cools.

Ricotta Scrambled Eggs And Buttered Ramps On Toast

Breakfast just got a major upgrade.

Almond-Crusted Trout with White Grits and Swiss Chard

The search for crispy trout skin stops here. Dredging the fish in ground almonds works wonders, adding a delightfully toasty exterior.

Mahi-Mahi with Smashed White Beans and Sage

We're a big fan of keeping some frozen mahi mahi on hand in case you don’t have time to run to the fish market. Feel free to substitute swordfish, ono, bluefish, or salmon.

Roasted and Charred Broccoli With Peanuts

Believe it or not, we came up with a new way to chop broccoli: Include the stems!

Skirt Steak with Shallot Pan Sauce

A seared piece of meat might sound boring. But when it’s drizzled with a silky reduction? Always exciting.

Apple Cider–Cooked Farro

Boiling farro in apple cider—a move from New York restaurant Charlie Bird— infuses grains with character.

Shrimp Rolls

Keep summer going just a little bit longer: Serve these with a pile of steamed, buttered corn.

Vegetable Soup

The pasta will continue to absorb the broth as it sits, so use a small noodle like ditalini, stars, or alphabet shapes.

White Chili

This white chili recipe works well with ground chicken or turkey, too.

Cheesy Chicken Meatball Sliders

Leftovers are the key to packing lunches easily—and this recipe is perfect for that. Plus it freezes well, too; if you freeze in small portioned containers, all you have to do is reheat and go.

Tomato Grilled-Cheese Soup

Try pouring the soup directly over the sliced sandwich for an irresistible cheesy bread soup.

Drumsticks and String Beans

Make a big batch of this crunchy oven-fried chicken on Sunday for easy packing during the week. A little grated cheese in the breadcrumbs is a welcome addition.

Beef and Shishito Pepper Skewers with Sichuan Salt

This seasoned salt is equally good on other cuts of meat, like chicken thighs or breasts or pork chops. Make a big batch and use it as you like.

Stir-Fried Pork with Eggplant, Chile, and Runner Beans

Hot weather and spicy foods just go together, but this speedy stovetop dish won’t heat up your kitchen.

Beef, Black Bean, and Corn Tacos

Separate compartments are key to packing this lunch. Switch up the fixings to keep it fresh: Salsa, guac, and sour cream are all good options.
