Hanger Steak with Shallots and Jerusalem Artichokes
The vinegared shallots and fresh herbs cut through the richness of this steak recipe from Tosca.
Tomato, Pickled Melon and Burrata Salad
The flesh immediately surround-ing the seeds is the most succulent part of any melon; if you haven’t tried eating the crunchy seeds before, hold on to your hat.
Shaved Honeydew, Fennel, and Olive Salad
Dress just before serving so that the fennel will still be crunchy and the melon retains its juices.
Vietnamese Pork Chops With Pickled Watermelon
This dish is a bold mix of salty, sweet, and acidic components. Crunchy slabs of melon and sharp greens keep it fresh; meaty chops provide depth.
Pickled Watermelon Rind
Waste not, watermelon lovers: This Southern pickle deserves a spot in your fridge. It's great alongside grilled pork chops, but we'd happily snack on it right out of the jar.
Cantaloupe and Black Pepper Granita
A grown-up shaved ice, with a welcome hit of spice from the pepper.
Watermelon Gazpacho With Feta Crema
A super-juicy watermelon is key; it should feel heavy for its size and sound hollow when tapped.
Melon with Yogurt and Pistachio-Sesame Brittle
This sweet and salty nut-and-seed brittle will send granola packing. Serve for breakfast or as a simple dessert.
Chopstick-Ready Rice
This rendition should be sticky enough to hold together lightly, but with defined grains.
Sour Cherry Pie
Adding almond flour to the pastry dough makes for a super-tender, toasty-looking crust.
Whipped Cream for Dinner (with Your Pea Soup, of Course)
Spring in a bowl! Plus, whipped cream that you can eat before dessert! We're so excited!
Eggs (and Ramps!) for Dinner
We like to eat our springtime ramps on toast and eggs.
A Springtime Meal for Ewe
Rack of lamb makes for a stunning main meal on Sunday.
Braised Chicken Gets Brunch-ified
Braised chicken for brunch? With fresh fava beans and artichokes, why not!
A Springtime Meal to Top Them All
Gnocchi gets tossed with asparagus, morel mushrooms, and peas in this springtime dish.
This Isn't Your Grandma's Sunday Sauce (& That's a Good Thing)
A classic red sauce that combines sausage and braciole makes for a hearty Sunday supper.
Braised Chicken with Artichokes and Fava Beans
Browned for deep flavor (and good looks), then braised for succulent results, this spring chicken has it all.
Ricotta Gnocchi with Asparagus, Peas, and Morels
The only thing that could make this ricotta gnocchi recipe better is if it was a no-knead dough. Oh wait, it is. Then it's perfect.
Smoked Trout with Pea Shoots and Spring Onions
Look for pea shoots at the farmers’ market or at Asian markets (though any tender green will work in a pinch).
Spring Greens with Quick-Pickled Vegetables
The dressing for this salad is on the less acidic side: Once the tart pickled vegetables are in the mix, it will be perfectly balanced.
