Add a little curry powder to roasted turkey and cooked vegetables to transform Thanksgiving leftovers into a fun, tasty dinner. I've used green beans in this recipe, but you can add any cooked vegetables you have on hand. Rice goes well with the curry sauce, but if you have leftover potatoes, serve those instead.
''Spaghetti and clam sauce is easy to make, flavorful and gutsy,'' Silver Palate cookbook author Sheila Lukins told me in a recent interview. She adds raw tomatoes, scallions, basil and dried tarragon for unexpected fresh flavor in this Italian favorite.
What's Halloween without apples and cider? Add them to pork with a hint of rosemary for a real treat. The pork tenderloin is butterflied for quick cooking.
A brown sugar and Dijon mustard glaze gives tonight's meatloaf a sweet and tangy flavor. I find that ground veal makes a light meatloaf. Forming small loaves and baking them on a sheet pan at 400 degrees makes this a fast dish, too, because it allows the hot air to circulate directly around the meat. The whole dish takes only 25 minutes.
Honey, ginger and soy sauce lend a sweet-savory flavor to today's quick-cooked chicken. A coating of sesame seeds brightens the dish and adds crunch.
With its long coastline, Apulia (Puglia), in the heel of the Italian boot, has an abundance of seafood. Today's fish dinner was inspired by a conversation with Giuseppe Alemanno, a native of the Apulian town of Lecce.
Hot Thai peanut sauce and shiitake mushrooms give a new twist to tostados. Traditional tostados have a deep-fried base, but it's easier and healthier to crisp the tortillas under the broiler.
Here's a cool meal for a hot summer evening. The wonderful flavor and texture of fresh tuna tops a refreshing salad of lettuce, sugar snap peas, corn and grape tomatoes.
Celebrate the start of the Beijing Olympics with this main-dish salad, a simple meal made with shiitake mushrooms, chicken, cashew nuts and an Asian dressing. It's perfect summer evening fare, warm or at room temperature.
Mango chutney makes a sweet-savory topping for sautéed tilapia, a flaky-white, farm-raised fish that's one of the most reasonably priced in the seafood case.
Here's a cool, fresh berry and steak salad for warm summer evenings. It's a one-dish meal that can be ready in less than 15 minutes.
guing combination of sweet, hot and savory flavors make this quick dinner of plump shrimp a passage to India. I use curry powder from the supermarket, a Western adaptation of the spice blends that Indian cooks make from scratch. Curry powder is best replaced after three or four months, as it loses potency.
Father's Day is around the corner. Tempt Dad with juicy, Sicilian-style swordfish steak. Tomatoes, olives and garlic are staples of zesty Sicilian cooking. Raisins add sweetness and a tantalizing contrast.
