Spiced Onion Marmalade

This marmalade would also be delicious with roast Cornish game hens. If the sweet Maui onions aren't available, substitute Vidalia.

Red Onion, Goat Cheese and Basil Tart

Since the crust is made with purchased puff pastry, this delightful savory tart comes together easily.

Southwestern Black Bean and Hominy Salad

For an attractive presentation, mound the salad on shredded lettuce and garnish with tortilla chips. Warm corn muffins and thickly sliced beefsteak tomatoes round out this substantial menu, and sliced fresh peaches and brown sugar wafers make a nice light dessert.

Grilled Tuna Steaks with Cantaloupe Salsa

If you prefer, use honeydew melon for an equally good salsa. Offer buttered new potatoes and sautéed spinach with the fish. Afterward, serve slices of pound cake with rum-soaked raisins and store-bought caramel sauce. Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Tartar Sauce

This recipe originally accompanied Ale-Battered Shrimp with Tartar Sauce .

Italian Spoon Biscuits with Tomato Sauce and Cheese

This unusual dish — which combines biscuits, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese — is a cross between a meatless lasagna and a pizza bread. It's a terrific quick supper; just add a mixed green salad.

Creamed New Potatoes, Peas and Pearl Onions

Neither peas nor potatoes are indigenous to North America. Peas were introduced in the seventeenth century and flourished over time. While sweet potatoes were popular with the settlers, white potatoes took getting used to; they had to cross the Atlantic twice (from South America to Europe, then from Ireland to the colonies) before they were widely grown.

Corn Chowder with Basil

The tofu in this chowder provides a richness surprisingly similar to that of cream but with much less fat.

Roasted Peppers Stuffed with Cherry Tomatoes, Onion, and Basil

This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Cheddar Cheese-Stuffed Burgers

This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Along with corn on the cob, serve some deli macaroni salad gussied up with chopped carrots and green bell peppers. Also have lettuce, sliced tomatoes and other condiments to pile onto the burgers. Strawberry shortcake is just right for dessert.
