Fresh bread is what gives gazpacho its body, making it a more substantial summer entrée soup. Use bread from the bakery section for the best results (supermarket bread can be overly soft and sweet). A whole-grain sourdough, crusts removed, would be fantastic here, adding just enough tang to round out the other ingredients. For a vegetarian […]

Here we reverse the ratio, letting hot Italian turkey sausage be the flavor agent while adding plenty of colorful vegetables like yellow squash, broccoli florets, and mushrooms. Canned whole peeled tomatoes are less watery […]
Moroccan spices usually blend the earthy (cumin) with the warm and fragrant (coriander and allspice). Salmon and cauliflower embrace these spices well. We start the cauliflower at a higher oven temperature to achieve better browning, then reduce the heat so the salmon cooks evenly and stays juicy. You could also sear the salmon on the […]
Dinner doesn’t get much easier than this eight-ingredient, one-pan dish. The secret is jarred apricot preserves; much more than a spread for toast, it balances the earthy sage and pungent mustard in the pan sauce and gives everything a glossy coat.
