Weeknight Meals

Frying at home is a drag, unless you happen to be outdoors, holding a beer, and not worrying about spills or smelling up the house.

Molokhia, a braised chicken and greens dish popular in Lebanon and Egypt, inspired this riff on chicken soup.

Like risotto, but a bit lighter and brighter. Oh, and there’s pancetta.

Brunch, lunch, or dinner, we're never not excited about sweet, garlicky shrimp and cheesy grits.

Plus mayo bread, because we can.

The ultimate dinner-to-desk lunch dish.

This salad recipe hits all the flavors we crave in a weeknight dinner: a hit of spice from the chiles, heartiness from the beef, crispy crunch from fresh veg, and even a bit of sweetness from the honey.

The low temp and abundance of olive oil make this recipe nearly impossible to mess up. You’ll forget there’s any other way to cook fish.

Filled with greens, roasted vegetables, and a little queso fresco, these veggie tacos are easy to make for a fun weeknight meal. 

Chickpeas in a spicy tomato-cream bath are what you need on a weeknight.

This cilantro-miso pesto is bright and delicious on springy ramen noodles.

This recipe is a revelation, bringing bright herbaceous green goddess flavors to an otherwise one-note meal.

These sweet potato bowls are an easy go-to weeknight dinner: Steam the sweet potatoes while you sauté the mushrooms with spiced ground lamb, quick-pickle fennel and onions, make a simple yogurt sauce, and dinner is ready in about half an hour.

The deliciously spiced, light and citrusy ceviche recipe from Commander's Palace in New Orleans.

Ain't no party like a sandwich party.
