Harissa paste gives this braised pork shoulder its spicy, garlicky flavor. Contributing food editor Alison Roman demonstrates how to make this simple main dish and a crunchy herb salad to go along.
This sauce is an ode to the classic French dish of leeks in vinaigrette, swapping out the leeks for tender charred scallions. It acts as a bright, addictive condiment for this quick-cooking cut of steak. If you can’t find hanger steak, skirt steak works for this recipe—adjust cook time accordingly. The sauce also pairs well with roast chicken, pork chops...we could do this all day.

Perfect for topping a cracker, mixing into pasta, or serving with rice, these pickled mussels pack lots of flavor into a petite package.
Loving meatballs has never been this rewarding. They’re gilded with lots of strong spices and set in a cooling swoosh of yogurt and anointed with the sweet brightness of a mint pesto. Sound fancy? Not really. We use ground lamb, which is naturally fatty and can be baked without sacrificing juiciness or a charred crust.
