Plantains With Jammy Tomatoes and Eggs
Plantains are nutrient-rich starches that can sweeten as they cook, and, in many parts of the world, they find their way into the best stews and porridges.
Crispy Salmon With Mixed Seeds
This recipe produces not only silky salmon with a crunchy coating of fragrant seeds, but also a shatteringly crisp skin. That’s all thanks to yogurt, which secures the seeds to the salmon and caramelizes into a crust when cooked.
Blackened Carrots Recipe
This simple roasted carrot dish highlights the natural sweetness of carrots with just olive oil and salt. Roasted at high heat until blistered and tender, it’s an elegant, unfussy side that’s equally delicious served hot or at room temperature.
Blistered Green Beans
This no-fuss, five-ingredient recipe takes 15 minutes, tops, and any leftovers are “terrific recycled into a salad the next day,” says rancher, Anya Fernald.
Braised Baby Fennel (Petits Fenouils Braisés)
Nowhere in the world is fennel taken more seriously than in Provence. The large bulb of the vegetable is commonly baked or served raw in salads, and the feathery tops are used raw as an herb in salads or are cooked in braised dishes, particularly with fish.
Easy Roasted Carrots And Crispy Kale
Tender, sweet caramelized carrots meet crispy-edged roasted kale in this simple, flavorful side. Everything is roasted on a large rimmed baking sheet (a.k.a. a half-sheet pan).
A Real Nana’s Winning Apple Pie Recipe
