Do you ever see a recipe and know instantly that, sure, you’re going to make that? You don’t hassle checking what the substances are or how lengthy it is going to take or who created it — you simply know that you must eat that dish. That’s how I felt about this aloo hen.
After all, I did examine on all of these different issues. The substances are a mixture of kitchen staples (onion, ginger, garlic, spices) and simple grocery retailer grabs (boneless, skinless hen thighs, some Roma tomatoes and Yukon Gold potatoes). About half of the cooking time is spent on mild sautéing, whereas the opposite half is hands-off simmering. And the recipe is by Zainab Shah, the genius behind these sheet-pan fish tikka, mattar paneer and one-pot vegetable biryani recipes, all New York Occasions Cooking hits. In sum: I would like this aloo hen, and I would like it now.

I’ve an analogous “gimme gimme” response to the phrase “croutons,” so after all I sat up straight after I clocked Ali Slagle’s recipe for sheet-pan sausages and mushrooms with arugula and croutons. The promise of scorching Italian sausages and Zuni Café-esque croutons in a pink wine French dressing was sufficient to hook me, however this be aware from Ali sealed the deal: “If stuffed mushrooms grew up right into a essential course, it might be this one-pan dinner.” Completed, and added to my recipe field. Subsequent!
“Hetty Lui McKinnon” is shorthand for “wonderful vegetarian recipes” in my thoughts; her tom yum soup with tofu and vermicelli is a nice instance. It’s wildly flavorful: bitter from the lime juice, spicy from the ginger and sambal oelek, verdantly citrusy from the lemongrass and rounded out with silken tofu and non-obligatory evaporated (or coconut) milk. A number of readers tucked shredded roast or rotisserie hen into their soup, a wonderful thought for including a little bit of heft.
For each new recipe that catches my eye, there’s an previous standby that, if it had been in a cookbook, could be stained and scribbled with notes. Mark Bittman’s salmon roasted in butter involves thoughts, a five-star go-to with over 8,500 opinions. I additionally return to Rick Martínez’s chilaquiles usually for leisurely breakfasts and thrifty dinners. (Utilizing Rick’s suggestions within the recipe, I bake as a substitute of fry my stale tortillas, however you do you!) To borrow a Sam Siftonism, that salsa guajillo would style good on a shoe.
And talking of breakfast for dinner: Right here is Martha Rose Shulman’s blueberry coconut oatmeal pudding. Granted, it’s in all probability higher as a dessert than a dinner, however I’d completely dive right into a bowl of this after work, possibly with a hefty scrape of nut butter, positively on the sofa in my sweats.
