Mushroom piccata pasta

This vegetarian take on chicken piccata uses mixed mushrooms instead of chicken to keep the sauce tangy and caper-filled. A combination of oysters, cremini, and shiitake mushrooms adds the most flavor, but you can choose a single type of mushroom if that’s your preference. Using pre-sliced mushrooms streamlines prep and is a time-saving trick for making this flavorful dish.

Inspired by a trend made popular by Catherine Perez (@plantbasedrd), these pitas are piled high with roasted vegetables for a satisfying vegetarian dinner. Be sure to dry the chickpeas thoroughly. Otherwise, it won’t get crispy in the oven. If the chickpeas are wet, they will create steam and the cauliflower may not brown properly. Bibb lettuce goes well with these pitas, but a few leaves of arugula would be equally delicious. You can use garam masala or shawarma spice blend in place of the spices if you have them.

Harira is a tomato-based soup that appears at the center of many Moroccan tables during the month of Ramadan. It is enjoyed with dates, milk, hard-boiled eggs, semolina pancakes, and chebakia (sesame cookies) as part of iftar, or the meal served each night to break the fast. This version features chickpeas, lentils, beef, and noodles in a fragrant tomato soup, but there are endless variations to the soup.

This timeless chicken Caesar salad comes with a tangy dressing made with Greek yogurt. Our dressing calls for anchovy paste, which adds the flavorful flavor that Caesar salads are known for. Leftover anchovy paste can be used to enhance the flavor of vinaigrettes, dips, and sauces. You can use whole anchovies if you prefer, but you’ll need to blend them or crush them with the flat side of a large chef’s knife before adding them to the dressing.

This simple feta casserole recipe turns into a nutritious, protein-packed vegetarian meal with cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and chickpeas. When baked, it creates a sweet and savory tomato and olive oil sauce that is perfect for spreading on pita bread. Feta that has been soaked in brine melts more easily than dry, crumbly feta, so it’s worth seeking out. Another interpretation is to use creamy white kidney beans in place of the chickpeas.

Try our easy version of Marry Me Chicken, a dish of chicken and shredded sun-dried tomatoes swimming in a creamy sauce. In our version, we add cherry tomatoes and zucchini for an extra veggie boost, plus barley to soak up the sauce, making this dish a complete meal all in one pot. Make sure the barley is fully submerged in the liquid so it cooks evenly.

This kale salad is piled high with roasted butternut squash, red onions, and savory chickpeas. When you “massage” the kale, it begins to break down and soak up the lemon-flavored dressing. Za’atar is a Middle Eastern condiment made with dried herbs, sesame seeds, and sumac that adds a bright, earthy flavor. Swapping it for chili powder will give you a slightly different flavor.

Chili and mac and cheese come together in this fix-it-and-forget-it slow cooker dinner. Hot tomato sauce, which is a Mexican canned tomato sauce, also contains chiles to add spices and heat, further enhancing the flavor. If you can’t find warm tomato sauce, regular canned tomato sauce mixed with 1 tablespoon of chili powder is a good substitute. You can either cook the pasta separately and add it at the end of cooking, or you can use a different method and cook pasta in the slow cooker with a few adjustments listed below.

This no-fuss dish comes together on two baking sheets for easy prep and easy cleanup. A blend of lemon and broccoli is mixed with tender gnocchi and rich cannellini beans, then finished with a generous drizzle of olive oil. For an extra boost of protein, add shrimp or flaked cooked salmon.
Slow Cooker Cauliflower and Chickpea Tikka Masala
Photographer: Fred Hardy, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Stylist: Lydia Purcell
This slow cooker tikka masala is an ideal make-it-and-forget-it option for anyone craving vegetables and warm, comforting spices. The combination of garam masala, curry powder, and cumin adds a complex flavor. If you don’t have garam masala on hand, you can substitute curry powder. I love how the brown rice absorbs the sauce, but you can also omit the rice and have it with warm whole wheat naan instead.
