Vegetable

I know a salad of Brussels sprouts sounds mirthless, but I urge you to give it a chance. It has enough citrus, almonds and rough-skinned apple to be interesting.

You can make this raw, root vegetable slaw up to four days before you plan to eat it.

A generous dash of crushed red pepper cuts through the sweet, rich tomato-cream sauce of this Italian-American classic.

Fry shreds of leftover slow-cooked pork to an irresistible crisp for this quick, gingery green bean and cabbage stir-fry.

Store-bought puff pastry and a meat-and-potatoes filling come together as your New Year’s Eve dinner centerpiece.

Crisping mushrooms in bacon fat infused with rosemary gives this salad satisfying texture and rich, comforting flavor, enhanced by a runny poached egg.

When in doubt, frittata. This version turns greens-and-beans into a complete one-skillet supper.

The diner classic gets a boost from a pot of zesty, creamy beans and sweet charred limes

The only thing more crowd-pleasing than cheese is marinated cheese. If Manchego isn’t your thing, go for any semi-firm cheese like white cheddar, Gouda, or Monterey Jack.

These quick pickles have just the right amount of sweet, salt, and tang going on. The brine can work with any crunchy veg, but we like them best with cucumbers. We guarantee they'll be the sleeper hit of your next party spread.

Bath duck in a spiced (nutmeg, allspice) and spicy (habanero) marinade, stick it in the oven, ignore it for five hours, then serve it with fixings for build-it-yourself tacos.

This hearty, meaty, sauerkraut-braised dinner takes only 25 minutes in the oven.

With crispy mini potatoes and hearty greens that are roasted in a sweet-tart mustard dressing, this 25-minute dinner is an easy crowd-pleaser.

Finally, a creamy, buttery risotto without all of the stirring. Just pop it in the oven and roast some mushrooms alongside to top off the finished dish.

Meet your new favorite, cold-weather one-pan salmon dinner. It’s warm and creamy with coconut milk and just spicy enough with green curry paste, ginger, and garlic.

Cutting leeks into large pieces gives them a presence equal to disks of potato, while cooking the vegetables separately before combining—the leeks are braised in butter, the spuds are simmered in milk and cream—preserves their distinct flavors.

A standing rib roast combines deep beefiness with marvelous tenderness and, naturally, has a price tag to match. But don’t be intimidated. It’s still a roast, after all, and that means it’s easy to cook.

It doesn’t take much to make slender, tender green beans memorable—lemon zest and orange zest warmed in olive oil provide sensational sparkle.

Fuyu persimmons, which resemble tomatoes in shape, are best enjoyed while still firm and slightly crisp. The sweet, meaty wedges make a gorgeous counterpoint to the tangle of peppery greens.

Bay scallops—which are smaller and sweeter than sea scallops—are found in estuaries up and down the Eastern Seaboard, from New England to the Mid-Atlantic region. Any of them will work here, but if you really want to pull out all the stops, search for those from Nantucket Bay, which are prized for their candylike succulence. Celery purée swirled with black truffle butter enhances the delicacy of the seafood.
