As our third annual Readers' Choice Week wraps up, we've got one thing on our minds: All of the incredible recipe submissions we received from you, our readers. We knew you were creative cooks and this roundup really proves it. From a creative vegetarian main dish to a weeknight curry that makes use of your kitchen odds and ends, these recipes represent how BA readers really like to cook. Here's the entire collection of winning recipes, as chosen and tested by associate food editor Rick Martinez. Which one are you going to cook first?
Forgive the adage, but this really is curry in a hurry. It also makes good use of the random vegetables kicking around in your fridge—don't be afraid to mix up the ingredients with what's in season.
Praise be! A vegetarian main dish that is neither pasta primavera nor grilled portobello mushrooms!
Secret ingredient time! The cake batter is made with almond meal, which gives it a nutty taste and hearty texture.
Adding fresh spinach to the bowls and ladling the soup over means the greens won't get gummy or soggy.
Use long-grain rice, and rinse it before cooking for the best results.
Clams, mussels, shrimp, and scallops all find their way into this bold pasta. Pour yourself a glass of white wine and pretend you're eating it seaside.
