Dinner

A smoked gouda spread melts into these cheesy potatoes, giving them savory summer vibes; if you have access to a grill, go ahead and cook the potatoes outdoors for double the smoky action.

This juxtaposition of Indian cuisine with the classic American burger works incredibly well. It’s a fantastic fusion of flavors that are really big and satisfying, and you can play with really interesting toppings; or make smaller bhaji bites and serve them with curry.

Cider vinegar, honey, and bone broth mixed with fresh or frozen cherries makes a sweet, sour, and deeply savory sauce that pairs well with easy broiled lamb chops.

Sour cream and lemon zest combine for a sprightly sauce that complements smoked salmon in this 30-minute one-pot meal.

Spicy sausage, farro, and leeks simmer with white wine and herbs. A scattering of fresh radishes and scallions makes this simple dinner feel fresh and springy.

Cooked, puréed zucchini adds rich, creamy body to this easy, summery soup.

Packed with the bright flavors of citrus and dill, this greens-and-grains dinner comes together fast. Peas and blistered cherry tomatoes add sweetness, while feta contributes salty tang.

Cucumbers are practically all water, so you gotta dress them like you mean it. This hot, sweet, and tart dressing will have them covered.

You can slice the cauliflower any direction you like, just be watchful of your fingertips on the mandoline and work over a bowl to catch all the bits of flying florets.

A day-old loaf of good bread can reach new heights when it's thick-cut and pan-fried in olive oil. We top these giant croutons with steamed clams or mussels, sink them into brothy soups, and crumble them over big salads. But this dish, a saucy little mix of beans, greens, and garlic, gives us a reason to look forward to Meatless Monday.

Butterfly your chicken with confidence—the flatter the bird, the more contact with the cast-iron pan—and the more crackly skin to enjoy at the end!

If you don’t have za'atar on hand, dried mint is equally delicious infused into hot oil.

Make a batch of grains on Sunday and you're within striking distance of a winning dinner on any weeknight (and lunch al desko for days). Case in point: This easy stir-fry, which, when combined with the trusty #putaneggonit, is irresistible. We use kimchi juice to finish; it keeps the grains moist and gives the dish a kick.

If you have ever peeled, seeded, and sliced cucumbers for salads, this recipe will hopefully change your mind. Smashing the cucumbers augments the vegetable's ability to absorb seasonings.

Humble white vinegar does double duty here, tenderizing chicken thighs while giving them a tart flavor accentuated by a super-easy charred lemon–garlic sauce.

Don't overcrowd the food processor with florets or you might end up with cauliflower "rice" that's a mix of too-big pieces and mush. Work in batches and keep the pulses short.

The key to developing crispy browned surfaces on roasted cauliflower is baking in a superhot oven on the lowest rack so the baking sheet is close to the heat radiating off the bottom of the oven.
