Dinner

Planning a spring dinner party? This is the entree you’re going to want to put on your menu.

A simple spring salad of shaved asparagus and fennel provides the fresh crunch needed to offset rich breaded pork cutlets.

Fregola, a tiny toasted pasta similar to pearled couscous, makes a flavorful base for this brothy spring dinner.

The steak can be marinated a day in advance—in fact, it gets better.

Lush confited garlic takes toasty, cheesy baguettes to another level.

Here's a foolproof base recipe and three delicious ways to dress up your holiday ham. Don't forget to save the bone for a fabulous soup! And remember, if you're not feeding a huge crowd, you can easily halve this recipe for a smaller ham.

The super-seasonal, crowd-pleasing chicken your Passover Seder needs.

Crispy-potato crust > pastry crust. (And it's gluten-free too.)

Creamy on the inside and crackly on the outside, this kugel is completely irresistible.

An extra smooth, delightfully tangy guacamole.

Gigante beans are our favorites, but almost any bean will be delicious this way. Smaller white beans, like cannellini, will cook more quickly.

We made tender short ribs even more irresistible with subtle five-spice powder and a bright root vegetable mash.

You've probably never seen smoked swordfish before, but you probably weren't looking. Find it at Mexican, Spanish, or other specialty grocers, or at a well-stocked fish market.
