Seedy Oat Crackers
This crackers recipe features a variety of seeds, and the combination of colors and textures is impressive, but you can use fewer types—just make sure you use chia seeds (they're not optional) and the total volume stays the same.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • ¾ cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • ⅓ cup raw sunflower seeds
  • ⅓ cup sesame seeds
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°. Mix oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, poppy seeds, and salt in a large bowl. Stir oil, maple syrup, and ¾ cup room-temperature water in a medium bowl to combine. Pour liquid over oat mixture and toss until mixture is completely soaked. Let sit 10 minutes; mixture will absorb water and thicken.
  2. Form oat mixture into a ball and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press a second sheet of parchment paper directly on top and, using a rolling pin, flatten to ⅛" thick (the shape doesn’t matter). Remove top layer of parchment.
  3. Bake cracker until golden brown around edges, 15–20 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully turn out, parchment side up. Place a fresh sheet of parchment on baking sheet. Remove parchment from cracker, carefully turn cracker over, and return to baking sheet. Bake until firm and golden brown around edges, 15–20 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet, then break into pieces with your hands.
Do Ahead:
  1. Crackers can be made 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

Pea and Prosciutto Salad

Pea and Prosciutto Salad
If you see great-looking snow peas, use them in combination with or in place of the sugar snaps. This recipe was reader-requested from Coltivare in Houston, TX.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard, like Maille
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
  • 1¼ cups shelled fresh green peas (from about 1¼ pounds pods), or frozen peas, thawed
  • 12 ounces sugar snap peas (about 3 cups), trimmed
  • 4 ounces arugula, tough stems removed (about 6 packed cups)
  • 4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • Knob of fresh horseradish, peeled (for serving)
Instructions
  1. Whisk lemon juice and mustard in a large bowl. Gradually add oil, whisking constantly until emulsified; season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
  2. Working in batches, cook green peas and sugar snap peas in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes per batch. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water and swoosh peas around until cold; this sets their color and halts the cooking. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Add green peas, sugar snap peas, and arugula to bowl with vinaigrette and toss until well coated with dressing; season with salt and pepper.
  4. Arrange salad on a platter and top with prosciutto. Finely grate horseradish over salad to your liking.

Pasta with Baby Artichokes, Mascarpone, and Hazelnuts

Pasta with Baby Artichokes, Mascarpone, and Hazelnuts
The hardest part of making this recipe is trimming the artichokes, which isn’t as hard as it seems. If you can’t get your hands on baby artichokes, use the hearts of two globe artichokes.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 12 ounces fresh lasagna sheets (about 8x6 inches)
  • All-purpose flour (for surface)
  • 1 lemon, halved
  • 1 pound baby artichokes (about 8)
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ¼ cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • ¾ cup blanched hazelnuts
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped marjoram or oregano
  • 1½ teaspoons Aleppo-style pepper
  • 1 cup mascarpone
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place a pasta sheet on a lightly floured work surface. Using a paring knife or a pastry wheel, cut the sheet into quarters (each piece should be about 4x3"), then cut each piece on a diagonal from corner to corner to create 4 triangles. Transfer triangles to a flour-dusted baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel. Repeat process with remaining lasagna sheets.
  2. Squeeze juice from lemon halves into a large bowl of cold water. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, pull off all the tough dark outer leaves until mostly yellow leaves remain. Using a serrated knife, cut 1" off top of artichoke. Trim stem, leaving at least ½" intact. Using a paring knife or a vegetable peeler, remove dark green outer layer from stem. Cut artichoke in half lengthwise and then into ⅓"-thick wedges. Drop artichoke pieces in lemon water. The acid in the water will keep them from turning brown while you trim the remaining artichokes.
  3. Once all the artichokes have been trimmed, drain and place in a wide medium saucepan. Add garlic, bay leaves, and ¼ cup oil. Pour in cold water to submerge artichokes; season generously with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until a paring knife slides through artichokes with little to no resistance, 8–10 minutes. Let cool, then drain and set artichokes aside.
  4. While the artichokes are simmering away, toast hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 10–12 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop. Toss in a medium bowl with marjoram, Aleppo-style pepper, and 3 Tbsp. oil; season with a generous pinch of salt. Set aside.
  5. Mix mascarpone, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a separate medium bowl; season with salt. Set aside.
  6. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente. Drain, reserving ½ cup pasta cooking liquid.
  7. Return pasta and ¼ cup pasta cooking liquid to pot and set over low heat. Add reserved mascarpone mixture and gently toss, adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed if sauce is too thick, until pasta is al dente and sauce coats pasta. Add reserved artichokes and half of reserved hazelnut mixture and gently stir to distribute (you want to avoid breaking up artichokes very much).
  8. Divide pasta among bowls. Top with remaining hazelnut mixture.
Do Ahead:
  1. Hazelnuts can be toasted 3 days ahead; store airtight at room temperature. Artichokes can be trimmed and cooked 1 day ahead; let cool in cooking liquid. Cover and chill. Drain just before adding to pasta.

Crunchy Baked Saffron Rice with Barberries (Tachin)

Crunchy Baked Saffron Rice with Barberries (Tachin)
Also known as tachin, this crispy baked Persian rice is often layered with meat, dried fruit, spices, and presented in a rectangular shape. We omitted the meat to keep things simple and went with a round shape to change things up. Rinse the rice to keep it from getting gummy, and parboil it so it will be soft and tender after baking. The yogurt, eggs, and oil are what create the golden color and crispy texture, which will have you coming back for bite after bite.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more
  • 2 cups basmati rice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup dried barberries or 1 cup dried tart cherries
  • 1 teaspoon rose water (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon saffron threads, finely ground
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt (not Greek)
  • ½ cup grapeseed or vegetable oil, plus more for dish
Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 large palmfuls of salt (about ½ cup). While you’re waiting for the water to boil, place rice in a strainer or sieve and rinse with lukewarm water, swishing rice around with your hands to get rid of excess starch. Continue to rinse until water from rice runs clear.
  2. Add rice to pot and give it a few stirs to prevent rice from sticking to the bottom. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice begins to rise to the top and is tender but still has a slight bite to it, 6–8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  3. Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Cook barberries, stirring often, until plumped slightly and warmed through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in rose water, if using.
  4. Place rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 400°. Combine saffron and 2 Tbsp. hot water in a large bowl. Let sit 10 minutes to allow saffron to steep and draw out as much color as possible. Mix in egg yolks, yogurt, ½ cup oil, and 2 tsp. salt. Scatter rice over yogurt mixture and gently toss to ensure every grain is coated.
  5. Coat a 10"-diameter glass pie dish with oil (glass lets you check on the color from underneath). Add half of rice mixture and use the palms of your hands or a measuring cup to gently pack and compact rice into dish. Scatter half of barberries over and top with remaining rice. Press down again, this time more firmly (this helps with unmolding).
  6. Cover dish tightly with foil and bake until rice on the bottom and around edges is a deep golden brown, 65–80 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes; discard foil. Loosen the rice around the edges using the point of a knife. Place a large plate on top and invert rice onto plate like a cake. Scatter remaining barberries over top.

Plum-Rosemary-Crisp with Oat-Spelt Topping
Double up on the topping and save half for later. Baked on its own, it’s great with yogurt. As an alternative, try the topping with an oat-quinoa flour mixture here. This recipe is from Tandem in Portland, ME.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
Filling
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 pounds ripe plums, cut into wedges
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon plus ⅓ cup raw sugar or (packed) dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Topping and Assembly
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • ¾ cup spelt flour
  • ¼ cup raw sugar or (packed) dark brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground cardamom
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled
Instructions
Filling
  1. Brush inside of a shallow 2-qt. baking dish with butter. Toss plums, rosemary, and 1 Tbsp. raw sugar in a large bowl. Let sit, tossing once or twice, until plums release their juices, 15–20 minutes.
  2. Add vinegar, zest, salt, and remaining ⅓ cup raw sugar to plums and toss to combine. Sprinkle flour evenly over top and toss until flour is no longer visible.
  3. Transfer filling to prepared baking dish and spread out to make an even layer; set aside.
Topping and Assembly
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk oats, spelt flour, raw sugar, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom in a medium bowl. Drizzle butter over mixture, tossing with a fork to incorporate. As soon as all the butter has been added, work with your hands until no dry spots remain and mixture holds together in clumps. Scatter over a rimmed baking sheet and let sit uncovered at room temperature until slightly dried out (this will help it crisp in the oven when baking), 10–15 minutes.
  2. Scatter topping evenly over reserved filling. Bake crisp on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet until topping is golden and crisp and fruit juices are bubbling around the edges, 35–45 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
Do Ahead: Topping can be made 2 days ahead; after drying out, cover and chill. Crisp can be baked 8 hours ahead; let cool, then tent with foil. Reheat, uncovered, in 350° oven 10–15 minutes.

Monkey Bread
Monkey Bread
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
Dough
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces, plus more for bowl
  • ⅓ cup whole milk
  • 1 ¼-ounce envelope active dry yeast (about 2¼ teaspoons)
  • 3 cups (or more) all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
Assembly
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled, plus more for pan
  • Sanding or granulated sugar (for pan)
  • Prepared caramel sauce (for serving)
Special Equipment
  • A 10-inch tube pan or 10-cup Bundt pan
Instructions
Dough
  1. Beat 1 cup butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-low speed until butter is smooth and pliable but still cold, about 1 minute. Scrape into a medium bowl; set aside. Save mixer bowl because you’re going to use it again in a minute (no need to wash).
  2. Gently heat milk in a small saucepan over low until warm to the touch but not steaming hot. It should be 110°–115°. Whisk milk and yeast in a small bowl to dissolve yeast, then let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk flour, sugar, and salt in reserved mixer bowl to combine. Add yeast mixture and eggs, fit bowl back onto mixer, and beat on low speed with dough hook, gradually increasing mixer speed to medium as dry ingredients are incorporated, until dough comes together around hook. Continue to mix on medium speed until dough is smooth, elastic, and no longer sticking to the sides of the bowl, about 5 minutes. Add more flour by the tablespoonful as needed if dough isn’t pulling away from bowl cleanly.
  4. With motor running, gradually add reserved butter about a tablespoonful at a time, waiting until it is absorbed before adding more. This process can take several minutes, so be patient. When you’re done adding the butter, the dough will be extremely smooth, soft, and supple but not sticky. Place dough in a large buttered bowl and cover. Let sit in a warm, draft-free spot until nearly doubled in size, 55–65 minutes.
  5. Uncover dough and punch down several times to deflate. Line a 13x9" baking dish with plastic wrap, leaving generous overhang on all sides. Place dough in pan and press into an even layer, working all the way to the sides of the pan. Fold plastic up and over dough, eliminating air pockets between dough and plastic. Chill dough in freezer until firm to the touch, 20–30 minutes.
Do Ahead:
  1. Dough can be made 1 day ahead. After punching down, pat into plastic-lined pan and chill in refrigerator instead of freezer.
Assembly
  1. Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl to combine. Lightly brush tube pan with butter. Sprinkle with sanding sugar, tapping out excess; set aside. Remove dough from freezer and peel back plastic. Brush entire surface with melted butter and sprinkle generously with some cinnamon sugar. Shake excess sugar back into bowl, then invert baking pan and turn out dough onto work surface sugar side down. Remove plastic; discard. Brush other side of dough with butter and sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar. Use a pizza cutter or a chef’s knife to cut dough into a 12x6 grid.
  2. Working relatively quickly so dough doesn’t become too soft, separate pieces and, working one at a time, roll lightly between your palms into balls, dusting with more cinnamon sugar as needed to prevent sticking. Place in prepared tube pan as you go. Cover pan with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm, draft-free spot until pieces have swelled to nearly doubled in size, 40–50 minutes. Preheat oven to 350° a little before monkey bread is ready to bake.
  3. Remove plastic from pan and bake monkey bread until golden brown, 25–35 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then use a small offset spatula to loosen monkey bread from sides of pan. Pull bottom out from pan and use spatula to loosen bread from bottom. Slide bread back into pan; invert onto a plate and remove pan. Place a wire rack over bread and invert right side up onto rack. If using a Bundt pan, just invert directly onto wire rack. Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
  4. Pour about ½ cup caramel sauce over monkey bread if desired. Serve with more sauce alongside for dipping.
