Growing up, my mum would make these moong dal dosas often. I love their vibrant green color, but they're also deeply flavorful and extremely nutritious, thanks to the mung beans and spinach. 

The zest and juice of lime and lemon deliver a simple but powerful flavor-packed punch to this everyday staple.

In Brigid Washington's home country of Trinidad and Tobago, this garlicky eggplant dish, known colloquially as baigan or melongene, isn’t considered a recipe because all it requires is a low flame, a handful of garlic cloves, a generous dash of curry powder, and eggplant.

Saffron’s deep crimson threads add an intense sunset-orange hue and rich aroma to whatever it touches, but the downside is that it’s very expensive. This dish from recipe developer Yasmin Fahr uses a saffron technique taught to her mother by her mother and then passed on to her. By gently grinding the saffron threads, then mixing them with water, you can create a saffron liquid that makes a little bit of the expensive spice go a longer way (and it helps the threads dissolve better). If you don’t like fish skin, it’s easier to remove after you cook it.

This adaptable Thai salad with beef, aromatics, and plenty of herbs and lime juice is as spicy as it is bright.

These sautéed tomatoes are rich, silky, and endlessly versatile. 

This impossibly smooth, thick, saffron-studded treat is yogurt in its dreamiest, creamiest dessert form.

This recipe is Tyna Hoang's homage to Hanoi’s classic Chả Cá Lã Vọng, a dish of fried fish seasoned with turmeric, shrimp paste, and dill that’s served over vermicelli with lots of herbs and nước chấm, a fish sauce dressing. Her simplified version is married with the summer roll for a quick and refreshing nod to an otherwise perfect traditional recipe. In Vietnam, summer roll dishes are usually served deconstructed with platters of crisp greens, herbs, and accoutrements so guests can assemble their own rolls (post COVID-19, of course).

Make a double batch and keep this spicy-sweet blend on hand for all grilled meats and vegetables.

These impossibly creamy and saucy one-pot lima beans are richly flavored from smoked turkey tail.

Getting a porterhouse steak to a blushing, consistent medium-rare is a feat—but the key is to keep it moving.

Sometimes the best meat in the butcher’s case isn’t beef. Pork shoulder steaks are fatty and flavorful.

This beautifully swirled no-churn ice cream has berries and cream vibes.

You’ve heard of fully loaded baked potatoes, right? RIGHT? That’s what we’re doing with these grilled eggplants.

A crispy-crusted pork shoulder glazed with a tangy vinegar and butter sauce.

Grilled corn tends to get dried out, but when you let it steam in a cooler, the kernels burst when you bite into them.

Supremely beefy, not outrageously expensive, and fast-cooking, skirt steak is our favorite steak of all.

More caramelization, more surface area to char, a quick cook time, and easy to share pieces are only a few of skewering’s advantages.

All the flavor firepower of your favorite condiments unites in this no-cook stir-together sauce that is the perfect match for any grilled steak.

Easy, hearty, and it can stand up to hot summer weather—even if you make it ahead. 

Brad Leone’s crispy grilled chicken is glazed in funky-sweet fermented garlic honey.

As in: Spoon it on grilled meats, fish, or vegetables. You can’t lose.

Let the dressed tomatoes sit an hour or so before serving so they can soak up maximum flavor.

This subtly minty chocolate ice cream can also be made with chopped-up Thin Mints or Andes Mints.
