• arroz verde

  Arroz verde, or cilantro rice, is a common accompaniment in Peruvian cuisine. It goes perfectly with a rotisserie chicken or grilled fish and your favorite veggies. I brought this to the PBNC office for a potluck lunch to thank and say farewell to a couple of awesome Summer volunteers! Unfortunately, it turned out that one of those lovely volunteers didn't like cilantro! Thank goodness there was pleny of other deliciousness at the table. Rest assured, the entire large bowl of cilantro rice was devoured by the rest of us. =) cilantrochicken stockmedium or long-grain white riceolive oilchick stock
• Asparagus with Chana Dal

  I love asparagus, it cooks in just a few minutes and it’s the best source of Folate (one of the most important nutrients especially for women). I tried mixing it with some Chana Dal (my new favorite lentil) and I am addicted. Chana dal is simply a split chickpea without the skin and you can buy it at any Indian grocer. You only need to fry it for a short time and it becomes crunchy and edible. It’s now a staple in almost all my vegetable dishes. Don’t get hung up if you don’t have all the spices I’ve listed – add your own blend. coconut oilchana dalsplit urad dalmustard seedcumin seedasafetidaasparagussalt to taste

• cook's illustrated tabouleh

  We have been a fan of tabouleh since we first tasted it in college, so we were delighted when we saw that Cook's Illustrated published a recipe for it. The flavors for this recipe are perfect - tangy and fresh. The well-seasoned bulgur adds the subtlest chew to the texture. The recipe is easy to make, but requires some lead time for tomato draining and bulgur soaking.

• cooks illustrated technique for boiled corn with melted butter and finely ground salt

  When we use organic corn for this recipe, it turns out so delicious that the butter and salt are completely optional. When we do season with salt, we make it a point to use finely ground salt since it sticks better to the corn. This technique for cooking corn totally works, and is most delicious when enjoyed immediately after cooking and cooling. We butter and salt any leftovers and stash them in the fridge. Then next day we pack them for our 2-year-old's lunches. The corn comes up to room temp by lunch time. cornunsalted buttersalt

• fast & simple asparagus preparation

  We grew up eating steamed asparagus with a side of mayo or a side of homemade thousand island (mayo + ketchup + Tabasco), but always wondered if there was a tastier and easier way to prepare asparagus. I found this in JP’s latest book and was surprised at how tasty the asparagus became through this quick and simple preparation. The true flavors of asparagus simply shine when cooked this way. Our one-year-old loves picking up the pieces to feed to herself. Adapted from JP’s Asparagus Ragout recipe from Essential Pepin. JP does a similar delicious and fast treatment for broccoli on page 124 of his other book More Fast Food My Way. waterolive oilasparagusunsalted buttersalt

• ina garten's herb potato salad

  This is a delicious version of potato salad that has tons of flavor without the mayo. It works great for a party because it can be prepared in advance and then pulled out of the fridge when guests arrive. The technique of resting the drained potatoes with a covered kitchen towel yields a tender, tasty potato. It balances out dishes with bold flavor profiles, but also pairs great with subtle flavors. We prepared this as a side for the Bocadillos lamb burger, and paired it with sweet and spicy Korean chicken wings. boiling potatoeskosher saltwhite winechicken stocklemon juicegarlicdijon mustardkosher saltblack pepperolive oilred oniontarragonparsleysalt and pepper

• jacques pepin's greek veggies

  jp = Jacques Pepin, our kitchen hero We found ourselves in an over forecasted predicament. We had too many zuchinnis and carrots on hand, and I was starting to panic that we wouldn’t be able to eat through it all before it went bad. Luckily, I had tagged this recipe to explore when I skimmed through JP’s latest book, Essential Pepin. Making this batch gave us an instant, easy snack and side for the next few days. This recipe works with zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and cauliflower and keeps in the fridge for about a week.
