Dinner

This delicately spiced mussel soup uses the bivalves at their very best, when they’re plump and filled with flavour. The curry powder, chutney and raita give the soup a scent of the warm sub-continent, in the depths of dreary January.

This savory vegetarian pie gives a nod to the ever-popular Jamaican patty.

Though it is Jamaica’s national fruit, ackee is cooked and used as a vegetable. With a subtle, almost nutty taste, it is an exciting addition to vegetarian menus.

Serve this dish of mashed beans wrapped in flatbread and pan-fried until crisp as a appetizer, or alongside a big green salad for lunch or dinner.

This dish is made with an Indonesian chili paste for a deep, comforting, and rich curry.

Chicken and broccoli may sound like a ho-hum dish, but you can make it finger-licking with the right marinade and dipping sauce.

This salad is palate-cleansing and refreshing. A little spicy, a little tart—and you can prep it in advance.

Made of chiles, garlic, basil, shallots, lemongrass, and ginger—green curry paste packs amazing flavor.

Shirataki noodles are made from the fiber of the konjac plant. Here their tossed with vegetables and an almond-butter-based sauce for a quick low-carb, vegetarian weeknight dinner.

These savory Japanese pancakes are stuffed with shredded cabbage, red pepper, and your choice of meat or seafood. Top with crumbled seaweed, bonito flakes, and mayo for the full experience.

Hindus consider cows and all their milky produce—cream, butter, and cheese—sacred. I can’t argue with that. Traditionally, this dish would be made with a few large slabs of golden butter; here I've swapped out that butter for cubes of paneer. 

This recipe assumes you have fresh or leftover cooked plain pasta in the fridge, but if you happen to magically have leftover pesto pasta, throw that in (no extra sauce required).

Gently cooking salmon fillets in olive oil makes their flesh become extravagantly tender and silky. While confit sounds fancy, this is a mostly hands-off oven method that’s ideal for weeknights.

This recipe picks up speed by calling for (slightly) wet greens. The water that clings to the leaves will help the greens cook; the fact that you don’t have to haul out the salad spinner is a time-saving bonus.

Three heads of broccoli spread across two sheet pans may seem like a lot. But when broccoli is this tender, crispy, and caramelized, it's hard to stop eating it right off the pan.
