Butternut Squash and Creamed-Spinach Gratin

Ingredients:
3 pounds fresh spinach, stems discarded, or 3 (10-ounce) packages frozen leaf spinach, thawed
5 tablespoons unsalted butter plus additional for greasing pan
3/4 cup finely chopped onion (1 small)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
Rounded 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup heavy cream
4 pounds butternut squash (2 large), peeled, quartered, and seeded
1/2 ounce finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1/4 cup)
An adjustable-blade slicer

Instructions:
If using fresh spinach, bring 1 inch water to a boil in a 6- to 8-quart pot over high heat. Add spinach, a few handfuls at a time, and cook, turning with tongs, until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water.
Thoroughly squeeze cooked fresh or thawed frozen spinach in small handfuls to remove excess moisture, then coarsely chop and transfer to a bowl.
Melt 3 tablespoons butter in an 8-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, then cook onion and garlic, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add onion mixture to spinach along with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cream and stir to combine.
Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 400°F. Butter a 3-quart shallow baking dish (13 by 9 inches; not glass).
Cut squash to separate bulb section from solid neck section, then cut pieces lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices with slicer.
Layer squash and spinach mixture in baking dish, using about one fifth of squash and one fourth of spinach for each layer, beginning and ending with squash. Sprinkle top layer of squash evenly with cheese and dot with remaining 2 tablespoons butter, then cover directly with a sheet of parchment or wax paper. Bake until squash is tender and filling is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove paper and bake gratin until browned in spots, 10 to 15 minutes, or broil 3 inches from heat, 2 to 3 minutes.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic and Pancetta

Ingredients:
1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (quartered if large)
2 oz pancetta, visible fat discarded and pancetta minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup water

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Toss together Brussels sprouts, pancetta, garlic, oil, and salt and pepper to taste in an 11- by 7-inch baking pan and spread in 1 layer.
Roast in upper third of oven, stirring once halfway through roasting, until sprouts are brown on edges and tender, about 25 minutes total. Stir in water, scraping up brown bits. Serve warm.
The Simplest Roast Turkey

Ingredients:
1 (14- to 16-lb) turkey, neck and giblets (excluding liver) reserved forturkey giblet stock
2 1/2 teaspoons salt (2 teaspoons if using a kosher bird)
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
Pliers (preferably needlenose); a small metal skewer (optional); kitchen string; a flat metal rack; an instant-read thermometer

Instructions:
Remove any feathers and quills with pliers (kosher turkeys tend to require this more than others).
Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 450°F.
Rinse turkey inside and out and pat dry. Mix salt and pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle it evenly in turkey cavities and all over skin. Fold neck skin under body and, if desired, secure with metal skewer, then tuck wing tips under breast and tie drumsticks together with kitchen string.
Put turkey on rack in a large flameproof roasting pan. Roast, rotating pan 180 degrees halfway through roasting, until thermometer inserted into fleshy part of each thigh (close to but not touching bone) registers 170°F, 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 hours.
Carefully tilt turkey so juices from inside large cavity run into roasting pan. Transfer turkey to a platter (do not clean roasting pan) and let stand 30 minutes (temperature of thigh meat will rise to 180°F). Cut off and discard string from turkey.
Twelve cups of stuffing will fill both cavities and leave you extra to bake separately. Just before roasting, spoon room-temperature stuffing loosely (stuffing expands as it cooks) into the neck (smaller) cavity. Fold the neck skin underneath the body and secure with a small metal skewer. Then loosely fill the body (larger) cavity, and tie drumsticks together. If you don't want any stuffing to spill out, cover the opening with a slice of fresh bread, tucking it inside the cavity before tying the drumsticks. Follow roasting directions above. (Timing for a stuffed bird may be slightly longer, but start checking the temperature at 1 3/4 hours.) Immediately transfer stuffing from body cavity to a shallow baking dish (separate from one for stuffing baked outside the turkey). Take temperature of stuffing in neck cavity and if less than 165°F, add it to the baking dish. Bake (covered for a moist stuffing or uncovered for a crisp top) until it reaches a minimum of 165°F. This can take 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the temperature of the oven, which you may have lowered to reheat side dishes.
The same method used above can be applied to a whole turkey breast (instead of the entire bird). For a 6- to 8-pound breast (with skin and bone), reduce amount of salt to 1 1/2 teaspoons and pepper to 3/4 teaspoon. Use a V-rack instead of a flat rack. Roast, rotating pan 180 degrees halfway through roasting, until thermometer inserted in thickest part of each breast half (close to but not touching bone) registers 170°F, about 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Let stand 30 minutes (temperature in breast will rise to between 175°F and 180°F). (For a grilled turkey option, see Grilled Whole Turkey.)
Parmesan-Roasted Butternut Squash

Ingredients:
2½ pounds butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces, ¾ cup heavy cream, 3 sage leaves, ⅔ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle.
Toss squash with cream, sage, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Bake, covered, 30 minutes.
Stir in half of cheese and sprinkle remainder on top. Roast, uncovered, until squash is tender and beginning to brown, about 20 minutes. Let stand about 5 minutes before serving (cream will thicken).
Cooks note: Butternut squash can be cut 1 day ahead and chilled in sealable bags. If you're making this entire menu, squash can be roasted at same time as mushroom and farro pie. Use upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position halfway through.
Pressed Broccoli Rabe and Mozzarella Sandwiches

Ingredients:
3/4 lb [340 g] broccoli rabe (an average bunch), tough stems discarded, roughly chopped
3 Tbsp olive oil
Kosher salt
2 large garlic cloves, minced
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1/4 cup [40 g] green olives, pitted and finely chopped
1 1/2 Tbsp drained brined capers, finely chopped
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
4 individual-size sandwich rolls, split (I like rolls with sesame seeds for this, but you do you)
1 lb [455 g] fresh mozzarella cheese
sliced

Instructions:
Pour water to a depth of 1 in [2.5 cm] into a medium pot and set over high heat. When the water boils, add a large pinch of salt and then the broccoli rabe and cook, stirring, until bright green and slightly wilted, about 30 seconds. Drain the broccoli rabe in a colander, wipe the pot dry, and return it to high heat. Add 2 Tbsp of the olive oil, the garlic, and the red pepper flakes and stir the garlic into the oil until it’s fragrant, just 15 seconds. Immediately add the drained broccoli rabe and a large pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until the broccoli rabe is coated with the garlicky oil and is a bit more softened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set the broccoli rabe aside to cool down a bit.
In a small bowl, combine the olives, capers, vinegar, the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil, and a small pinch of salt and stir together. Place the rolls, cut-side up, on a work surface and evenly distribute the olive mixture among the rolls, putting some on both halves of each roll. Divide the mozzarella and broccoli rabe evenly among the rolls, close the rolls, and then tightly wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap. Place something flat and heavy on top of the sandwiches, such as a large cast-iron skillet. Let the sandwiches sit under this weight for at least an hour before eating or putting them in your backpack.
Manchurian Green Beans with Tofu

Ingredients:
1/2 (12- to 16-ounce) package extra-firm tofu
1 1/2 pounds green beans, ends trimmed, cut into 3-inch pieces
2 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts; about 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 medium garlic cloves, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
1 (2-inch) piece finely chopped, peeled fresh ginger (about 3 tablespoons)
2 árbol chiles (or other small dried red chiles, such as Thai or Indian red chiles)
1/4 cup low-sodium tamari (or low-sodium soy sauce)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons arrowroot powder

Instructions:
Drain the tofu and press it between your hands to remove excess liquid. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, until golden and crispy on all sides.
Meanwhile, to make the sauce, in a separate, large nonstick sauté pan, combine the garlic, ginger, and chiles and toast over medium heat for about 2 minutes, until they are aromatic, stirring constantly so they dont burn. Add the green beans and 3/4 cup water. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, until the beans are cooked but still crunchy. (Cook them for about 3 minutes if you like your vegetables al dente.)
Combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, arrowroot, and 1/4 cup water to make a slurry and whisk with a fork until no lumps remain. Pour the slurry into the sauté pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Add the tofu and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the sauce coats the tofu and beans. Stir in the scallions and cilantro. Serve warm.
Costa Rican Breakfast Bowl (Gallo Pinto)

Ingredients:
1/2 yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup)
1 medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 1 cup)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (optional)
1/2 bunch kale, stems removed and discarded, leaves shredded (about 2 cups)
2 cups cooked short- or long-grain brown rice
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
Sea salt
1 avocado, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 lime
cut into wedges

Instructions:
Combine the onion, bell pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and jalapeño (if youre using it) in a large sauté pan. Add 1/2 cup water and sauté the vegetables over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until they are tender, stirring occasionally and adding 1 to 2 more tablespoons water as needed to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pan. Add the kale, rice, beans, and 1 cup water and cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, folding the ingredients, until the kale has wilted and the liquid has been absorbed.
Add half of the cilantro and salt to taste and stir to combine. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and serve with diced avocado on top and a lime wedge.
Leek-Top Baking-Sheet Hash

Ingredients:
1 pound smoked beef brisket or corned beef (You can go vegetarian by leaving out the meat and goosing up the number of veggies, cut into bite- size pieces)
1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes or other small potatoes, cut into small pieces no need to peel.
2 red bell peppers, stems and seeds removed, cut into bitesize chunks
3 leeks, use it all, roots, whites, light green and dark green leaves, washed well and sliced thin
4 garlic cloves, chopped fine
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
Coarse sea salt and coarse ground black pepper
8 eggs, any size
1/2 cup dukkah (Egyptian nut and spice mix that you can buy at a fancy market or on the Internet) or you can throw on some sesame seeds.
"1 cup chopped fresh herbs
such as parsley
cilantro
and/or mint leaves (if you have some fresh thyme
you can add it
but no more than 1/4 cup its a little intense)"
Harissa paste (Moroccan red chile paste)
if you want. You can use Chinese red chile paste.

Instructions:
Turn the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Toss the brisket, potatoes, bell peppers, leeks, and garlic with the oil on the prepared baking sheet. Season with S&P; like you mean it. When the oven is up to temp, bake for 20 minutes, then raise the oven temp to 500°F to make the edges crisp and bake for 20 more minutes.
While the vegetables are roasting, boil some water in a large saucepan. Turn the heat down so it simmers and carefully slip in the eggs with a slotted spoon. Simmer for 5 to 5 1/2 minutes.
Get a big bowl of ice water ready. Grab your slotted spoon and move the eggs into the ice water. As soon as the eggs are cool enough to handle, about 30 seconds, crack the shells all over by knocking them against the inside of the bowl. Peel the eggs right in the ice water. The cold water will help the shells slip right off the eggs.
Pat the eggs dry and roll them in the dukkah to coat lightly. Cut each egg in half.
Top the hash with the eggs, cut side up. Garnish with the herbs. Serve with harissa, if you want. You want!

2 pounds chuck eye steak or skirt steak, no more than 3/4 inch thick
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or other mild-tasting oil
Coarse sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper
2 cups carrot tops
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 cup fresh mint leaves
5 anchovies (half 2-ounce can)

2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
Finely grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon

Instructions:
Start by setting up your grill for high heat. Oil up the top side of your steaks and season with lots of salt and pepper.
Slap your steaks, oil-side down, onto the grill. Season with more S&P; and a little more oil and let them really char, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare, a minute less or a few minutes more for rarer or more well- done. Take your steaks off the grill and let them rest.
While the steaks are resting, blitz your carrot tops, basil, mint, anchovies, anchovy oil, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a food processor. Once smooth, season with S&P; and pour into a bowl.
If you want, while the grill is still hot, oil the cut surface of the lemon half and char it. Slice the steaks against the grain, squeeze any juice remaining in the lemon over the steaks, and plate with a generous amount of the carrot top salsa verde.

Sheet-Pan Curry Pork Chops and Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:
4 tsp. mild curry powder
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. light brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
4 (1"-thick) small bone-in pork chops (about 2 lb. total)
8 small sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 lb.), scrubbed, sliced in half lengthwise
1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
4 small radishes, thinly sliced
1 cup pomegranate arils

Instructions:
Arrange a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Stir curry, pepper, brown sugar, and 2 tsp. salt in a small bowl.
Rub an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet with oil. Sprinkle pork chops and potatoes with spice mixture on prepared pan to evenly coat, then arrange in an even layer with potatoes cut side down.
Roast until pork is golden brown and cooked through and potatoes are deeply browned on cut sides and fork-tender, about 20 minutes. (The pork might finish cooking before the potatoes do; if so, transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest, then continue roasting the potatoes until done.)
Meanwhile, whisk yogurt, lemon juice, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
Arrange pork and potatoes on a platter. Top with yogurt sauce, radishes, and pomegranate arils.
Do Ahead: Yogurt sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
Small sweet potatoes work best for cooking at the same rate as the pork chops and fitting on one sheet pan since you can tuck them between the chops. If you can’t find small sweet potatoes, use larger ones, cut them into wedges, and turn them halfway through roasting.
Slow-Roast Spiced Lamb Shoulder with Sumac Onions

Ingredients:
1 (6–7-lb.) bone-in lamb shoulder
2 Tbsp. black peppercorns
2 Tbsp. coriander seeds
2 Tbsp. paprika
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground cardamom
1 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. sumac
1/2 cup mint leaves
1/2 cup parsley leaves with tender stems
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
A spice mill or mortar and pestle

Instructions:
Season lamb very generously with salt and pepper; place on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet.
Toast peppercorns and coriander seeds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until fragrant, about 3 minutes; let cool. Finely grind in spice mill or with mortar and pestle; transfer to a small bowl. Mix in paprika, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg, then rub all over lamb. Chill uncovered at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
Let lamb sit out on counter at room temperature 1 hour before roasting.
Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 275°F. Transfer lamb to a roasting pan and pour in 3 cups water. Cover tightly with foil and cook, turning lamb over and rotating pan halfway through, until meat is almost falling off the bone, 3–3 1/2 hours. Remove lamb from oven and turn up heat to broil (or to highest heat if you have a drawer-style broiler). Discard foil, transfer lamb to a cutting board, and pour off liquid in pan. Return lamb to pan; roast, uncovered, until nicely browned, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss onion, lemon juice, and sumac in a small bowl with your hands, squeezing onion a bit to soften.
Just before serving, toss mint, parsley, and a pinch of salt into onion mixture. Serve lamb topped with onion salad.
