Grating super-firm tofu is one of the best party tricks in the kitchen. It makes tofu not only quicker to prepare (no pressing required!) but also deceptively meaty. In this recipe from my book “Big Vegan Flavor” (Avery Books, 2024), the grated tofu is pan-fried until golden, then coated in an extremely good, flavor-rich sauce …

Alternative to oven: Instead of cutting the pork into two pieces, slice it into 1 inch coins. Cook these little medallions a couple minutes a side with garlic halved and a sprig of rosemary, remove, add a little more butter or oil, cook mushrooms, add a little marsala, cook until alcohol is gone, add pork …

Turn the heat down to medium-high, add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, the green beans, anchovies and miso. Cook, stirring frequently, mashing the anchovies with the spatula until miso is broken up and anchovies are dissolved. Add ½ cup water to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook until green beans are just …

This is so delish and simple. Don’t skip the rice- it’s easier than you think, and gives the dish its authentic crunch. I served with gem lettuce, extra cilantro, mint, hot pepper, shredded cabbage, and carrots and cukes sliced into oblong discs onto which you can pile the laab… Super summer meal!

Savory and a little sweet, this light dinner tastes like spring but can be made any time of year — and any night of the week if you keep a stash of shrimp in your freezer. By quickly thawing them under running water, then dry-brining them with salt for a minute, you end up with …

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the garlic and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden in spots, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken bones and skin, cilantro stems, soy sauce and 8½ cups of water. Bring to a gentle simmer, and let cook until flavorful with …

Like a warm and gentle nudge, masala spice gives onions and chickpeas a distinctively comforting heartiness. Glimmering with droplets of ghee, they become rich in this any-season dish. Tearing the tofu allows for ample crooks and crannies that cradle and accentuate the aromatic goodness of the spice. Cherry tomatoes, slightly and delicately blistered, are welcome …

I didn’t suffer from the “raw spice” issue that others had. I followed the recipe exactly, but here is what I did that might have helped: mixed the yogurt, oil, and ginger/garlic pastes, then added the dry spices. Marinated the shrimp while prepping the peppers/onions (I didn’t pat them dry before adding). Next time, I …

I don’t usually make comments, as I typically make recipes as printed, but now–having departed from the recipe and omitted the 8 teaspoons of cumin entirely from the xawaash mixture, I would like to crown my cumin-free rendition of Malaay Qumbe an enormous, self-judged success. (Should I say it went over swimmingly with my friends …
