Spring vegetable couscous with fava beans and artichokes is a celebration bowl with a broth worth slurping. Chickpeas simmer from scratch with spring onions, carrots, artichokes, and a bouquet garni, then shelled favas and preserved lemon brighten everything. Plan a...
Hearty North African couscous with chickpea and vegetable stew is winter dinner in its best mood. Toasted coriander, caraway, and cumin deepen a tomatoey stew of chickpeas and your choice of vegetables, and it all ladles over fluffy couscous. Ninety minutes of...
White pizza with broccoli raab, mozzarella, and pine nuts is a thirty-five-minute upgrade on pizza night. There's no red sauce — garlic, red pepper flakes, thyme, and rosemary infuse the olive oil base, blanched raab and mozzarella go on top, and toasted pine...
Easy whole wheat pizza dough is my standing Friday order. Active dry yeast blooms in warm water with a teaspoon of sugar, olive oil enriches the dough, and a whole wheat–all-purpose blend keeps it chewy rather than heavy. The recipe makes two doughs, and the flour...
