Lamb Chops Scottadito with Charred Cherry Tomatoes

Rib chops can be pricey. This same preparation works well on lamb loin chops, too.

Grilled Kielbasa Tacos

Make sure to cut the onions and peppers into big pieces so that they don’t fall through the grill grates.

Green Olive Tapenade

Cerignola and Castelvetrano olives are big, briny, meaty, and sweet. If unavailable, use other types, or simplify with just one.

Whole Corn on the Grill

How to choose corn: Look for tight, squeaky, green husks and rows of kernels that feel taut and full when you run your hands over the cobs.

Grilled Clam Toasts with Lemon and Green Olives

Italian-food purists might balk at the combination of clams and Parm, but we swear it’s delicious.

Charred Spring Onion and Sesame-Chile Butter

Japanese shichimi togarashi is a blend of seven seasonings including chile, orange zest, and sesame seeds that can be found at Asian grocers.

Pea and Little Gem Salad with Farro and Pecorino

This spring salad can be made with pretty much any grain and firm grating cheese you like.

Grilled Asparagus and Spring Onions With Lemon Dressing

Fat asparagus stalks won’t fall through the grill grates—and they can char without becoming soft and stringy.

Flatbread With Fava Beans, Cucumbers, and Burrata

Fava beans most likely require a trip to a farmers’ market and take a while to peel. Sugar snap peas cut into bite-size pieces are a fine alternative.

Flatbread with Smoked Trout, Radishes, and Herbs

You can make the dough, you can buy the dough, or you can simply assemble these same toppings on slices of toasted country-style bread.

Roasted Strawberry Trifles With Lemon Cream

Roasting the strawberries intensifies their sweetness.

Rhubarb-Fennel Gin Cocktail

If it grows together, it goes together: Sweet and sour from the rhubarb and herbaceous from the fennel, this drink is pure harmony.

Spiced and Grilled Steaks with Citrus Chutney

The sugar in the dry spice mix will help these steaks take on color quickly, so keep a close eye on them.

Tex-Mex Breakfast Waffle Nachos

It’s breakfast! It’s brunch! It’s a snack! It’s a glorious mess. And in case you’re wondering, the waffles are pretty amazing just on their own.

Rotolo

The garlic knot is all grown up, and it brought mortadella to the party.

Queso Fundido

If you can find Chihuahua cheese for this, use it! If not, Monterey Jack can be subbed. Not the same, but still crazy good!

Spiked Grasshopper Milkshake

For a version you can serve right away, omit the liqueurs, which will eliminate the need to refreeze. You will have more cookies than you need, but they’re delicious on their own.

Make a Week's Worth of Healthy Meals In Two Hours

The not-so-secret formula behind Sweetgreen and other D.I.Y. salad spots? It’s called mise en place. Give an hour to prepping a few of these components, and thank yourself all week long.

Butternut Squash Bruschetta With Pomegranate

This recipe will make more squash topping than you need, but the leftovers hold well and are a great addition to a simple salad.

Amaro-Spiked Mocha with Caramelized Brioche

Thicker and creamier than the typical hot chocolate and embellished with both amaro and espresso. If you don’t have an espresso machine, use strong coffee instead.
