Cheesy Stuffed Tomatoes

Ingredients:
1/4 cup raw pistachios
4 large heirloom tomatoes (about 2 1/2 lb.)
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 garlic clove, finely grated
2 Tbsp. chopped golden raisins
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 Tbsp. chopped thyme, plus 6 sprigs
8 oz. fresh mozzarella

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast pistachios on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 5–8 minutes. Let cool, then finely chop. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
Slice about 1/2" off the top of each tomato; reserve tops. Using a spoon, scoop out the center of each tomato (save for making sauce). Season insides of tomatoes with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking dish large enough to hold tomatoes (they can be snug).
Mix pistachios, garlic, raisins, 1/4 cup oil, and 1 Tbsp. thyme in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Place about 1 Tbsp. filling in each tomato. Tear mozzarella into bite-size pieces and snuggle into tomatoes. Top with remaining filling (you may need to gently press filling down with your fingers).
Replace tomato tops; drizzle with oil. Scatter thyme sprigs over and bake, uncovered, until tomatoes release some liquid and begin to get a little wrinkly on top, 35–45 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
Big Beans and Tomato Vinaigrette

Ingredients:
Handful of oregano sprigs
Handful of thyme sprigs
2 bay leaves
8 oz. dried butter beans, rinsed, soaked overnight if possible
1 medium onion, halved
1 large carrot, scrubbed, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
10 oz. cherry tomatoes or 1 1/2 cups chopped heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes
1 garlic clove, smashed
3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt
2 lb. assorted heirloom, beefsteak and/or cherry tomatoes
Freshly ground black pepper
Handful of basil leaves
Mild red pepper flakes (such as Aleppo-style or Maras)

Instructions:
Tie together oregano, thyme, and bay leaves with kitchen twine. Combine beans, onion, carrot, and herbs in a medium pot. Pour in water to cover beans by about 4" and bring to a very gentle simmer over medium-high heat. Immediately reduce heat and cook at the barest of simmers, stirring hardly at all, until beans are creamy and tender at the center but not falling apart or mushy, about 1 1/2 hours (this could take longer, depending on the beans). The key is to not agitate, which will help the beans maintain their shape. Remove pot from heat; season beans aggressively with salt. Gently stir in oil. Let cool. Drain beans; discard onion, carrot, and herbs.
Do Ahead: Beans can be made 2 days ahead. Keep in liquid; cover and chill.
Purée cherry tomatoes in a blender. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in garlic, vinegar, and 1/3 cup oil; season with salt. Let sit 15–20 minutes, then pluck out garlic.
Transfer drained beans to a medium bowl and add vinaigrette; toss gently to coat. Taste and add more salt if needed.
Slice, halve, or quarter heirloom tomatoes and arrange on a platter or divide among individual plates. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil. Spoon beans along with plenty of vinaigrette over; top with basil and a few pinches of red pepper flakes.
Tomato Galette

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 1/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 lb. heirloom tomatoes, sliced 1/4" thick
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 oz. firm cheese (such as Asiago, cheddar, or Gouda), finely grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 large egg, beaten to blend
Flaky sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lemon
1 Tbsp. finely chopped chives

Instructions:
Pulse 2 cups flour and 1 1/4 tsp. kosher salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining.
Transfer mixture to a large bowl; drizzle with vinegar and 1/4 cup ice water. Mix with a fork, adding more ice water by the tablespoonful as needed, just until a shaggy dough comes together. Turn out onto a work surface and lightly knead until no dry spots remain (be careful not to overwork). Pat into a disk and wrap in plastic. Chill at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Gently toss tomatoes, garlic, and remaining 1 tsp. kosher salt in a large bowl. Let sit 5 minutes (tomatoes will start releasing some liquid). Drain tomato mixture and transfer to paper towels.
Unwrap dough and roll out on a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper to a 14" round about 1/8" thick. Transfer on parchment to a baking sheet. Scatter cheese over dough, leaving a 1 1/2" border. Arrange tomatoes and garlic over cheese. Bring edges of dough up and over filling, overlapping as needed to create about a 1 1/2" border; brush dough with egg. Sprinkle tomatoes with sea salt and pepper. Chill in freezer 10 minutes.
Bake galette, rotating once, until crust is golden brown and cooked through, 55–65 minutes. Let cool slightly on baking sheet. Finely grate zest from lemon over galette; sprinkle with chives.
Do Ahead: Dough can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.
Roasted Red Pepper Frittata

Ingredients:
2 medium red bell peppers
1 1/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 lb. German Butterball potatoes (about 6), peeled, sliced 1/4" thick
8 large eggs

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place bell peppers on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and turn to coat. Season with salt. Roast peppers, turning every 5 minutes, until softened and skins look wrinkly and lightly blistered, 20–25 minutes. Let cool slightly. Peel and remove seeds from bell peppers, then cut flesh into 1/2"-thick slices. (You should have about 1 cup.)
Meanwhile, toss together onion and potatoes in an 8" cast-iron skillet; season with salt. Cover with 1 1/4 cups oil and set over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, about 3 minutes, and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon and scraping the bottom of the pan to minimize sticking, reducing heat if needed, until there is no crunch left to the onion (do not let it take on any color) and the potatoes are tender, 25–30 minutes. Taste a piece of potato and onion to check. Some of the mixture may stick to the pan, and some of the potatoes may break into smaller pieces toward the end of cooking—both of these things are okay. Transfer to a medium bowl; let cool until warm, 8–10 minutes. Stir in roasted peppers.
Clean skillet and place in oven to heat. Whisk eggs in a medium bowl until no streaks remain; season with salt. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, lift vegetables out of the oil and add to eggs (this is best done while they are still warm). Set onion-potato oil aside.
Transfer skillet to stovetop and continue to heat over high until ripping hot, about 5 minutes. Add 3 Tbsp. reserved onion-potato oil to pan, then pour in egg mixture. Cook, using a heatproof rubber spatula or wooden spoon to pull egg mixture from the outer edges into the center, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath and dragging the hotter, more-set egg from the edges into the center. This will help frittata cook evenly. Transfer skillet back to the oven and bake the frittata until browned and set, 10–14 minutes. Let frittata cool in pan 5–10 minutes, then invert onto a platter and cut into wedges to serve.
Do Ahead: Bell peppers can be roasted 2 days ahead; cover and chill. Remove from refrigerator when you start prepping other ingredients so that they’re not fridge-cold when you combine them with the eggs.
Tomato and Parmesan Risotto

Ingredients:
5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp. tomato paste
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
1 cup arborio or carnaroli rice
Kosher salt
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 oz. finely grated Parmesan (about 1 cup), plus more shaved for serving
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:
Bring broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan; keep warm over medium-low heat until ready to use.
Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until golden and very soft, 8–10 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until it darkens slightly and begins to stick to pan, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and nutmeg, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until some of the tomatoes begin to burst, about 2 minutes.
Stir in rice; season with salt, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring, until some grains are translucent, about 3 minutes. Ladle in 2 cups broth and simmer, stirring frequently, until completely absorbed, 8–10 minutes. Ladle in another 2 cups broth and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until rice is cooked through and most of the broth is absorbed, 12–15 minutes.
Add butter, 2 oz. Parmesan, and remaining 1 cup broth and cook, stirring constantly, until risotto is very creamy looking, about 4 minutes. Taste and season with more salt if needed. Divide risotto among bowls. Top with shaved Parmesan and lots of pepper and drizzle with more oil.
Spaghetti with No-Cook Puttanesca

Ingredients:
2 beefsteak tomatoes (about 1 lb.), halved crosswise, seeds removed
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup Castelvetrano olives, crushed, pits removed
2 Tbsp. drained capers
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
12 oz. spaghetti
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
cut into pieces

Instructions:
Pulse beefsteak tomatoes, garlic, red pepper flakes, and 2 tsp. salt in a food processor until smooth; transfer sauce to a large bowl and mix in cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, and 1/4 cup oil.
Cook spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup pasta cooking liquid.
Add pasta, parsley, and butter to sauce. Toss vigorously with tongs, adding a splash of pasta cooking liquid or more as needed to create an emulsified sauce that coats pasta. Divide among bowls and drizzle with more oil.
Perfect Pesto Pasta

Ingredients:
1/2 cup pine nuts
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
3 oz. Parmesan, grated, plus more shaved for serving
6 cups basil leaves (from about 3 bunches)
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
12 oz. dried long pasta
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
cut into pieces

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast pine nuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 5–7 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and let cool, 5–7 minutes.
Add garlic and grated Parmesan to food processor and pulse until finely ground, about 1 minute. Add basil and, with the motor running, add oil in a slow and steady stream; continue to process until pesto is mostly smooth with just a few flecks of green remaining, about 1 minute. Pulse in 1 tsp. salt.
Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid.
Place pesto and butter in a large bowl. Add pasta and 1/4 cup pasta cooking liquid. Toss vigorously with tongs, adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed, until pasta is glossy and well coated with sauce. Taste pasta and season with more salt if needed.
Divide pasta among bowls. Top with shaved Parmesan.
Do Ahead: Pesto can be made 1 day ahead. Pour oil over to cover by 1/4" to prevent browning. Press plastic wrap directly against surface and chill.
Smash Burger Alfresco

Ingredients:
1 cup finely chopped dill pickles
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. ketchup
2 Tbsp. sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo
1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
1 1/2 lb. ground beef (20% percent fat)
4 potato rolls
1/2 head of iceberg lettuce, leaves separated, torn into pieces about the size of the buns
1 white onion, very thinly sliced into rings on a mandoline
4 thin tomato slices (optional)
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
8 slices American cheese

Instructions:
Prepare a grill for high heat. Place a cast-iron griddle, flat side up, on grate; heat until very hot, at least 20 minutes.
Mix together pickles, mayonnaise, ketchup, adobo sauce, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl; set special sauce aside.
Divide beef into eight 3-oz. portions (don’t form into patties). Place 4 portions between 2 sheets of parchment paper, spacing 6" apart, and, using a meat mallet or skillet, firmly smash to create thin patties, about 5" across. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining portions and fresh parchment paper.
Wrap all the buns together in a large sheet of foil to make a packet (this will keep buns soft and from getting too toasted on the grill). Place packet on grate and grill, turning once, until buns are warmed through, about 1 minute. Spread sauce over cut sides of buns. Place 3–4 pieces of lettuce on bottom buns and top each with some onion and a tomato slice, if using.
Drizzle oil over griddle and use paper towels to evenly coat surface. The oil needs to be hot; you should see smoke almost instantly. Season patties lightly with salt. Place 4 on griddle, seasoned side down, and season top sides lightly with salt. Cook, undisturbed, until outer edges are brown and undersides are very crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip and place a slice of cheese on top of each patty. Cook until cheese is melted, about 30 seconds. Transfer patties to buns with toppings, stacking 2 patties on each bun. Repeat with remaining 4 patties, scraping off any cheese stuck to griddle in between batches.
Hummus with Spiced Summer Squash and Lamb

Ingredients:
2 (15.5-oz.) cans chickpeas, rinsed
1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup tahini
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
11/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
1 lb. ground lamb or beef
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced, divided
1 lb. summer squash and/or zucchini, cut into 3/4" pieces
1/4 cup chopped parsley or cilantro
Toasted pita wedges (for serving)

Instructions:
Process chickpeas in a food processor until powdery clumps form, about 30 seconds. Add garlic, tahini, lemon juice, and salt and process until smooth. With motor running, drizzle in 1/2 cup water and process until hummus is very smooth, light, and creamy. Spoon onto a large plate.
Mix together salt, coriander, cumin, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add lamb and press into a large 1 1/4"-thick patty; sprinkle with half of spice mixture and half of garlic. Cook, without moving, until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Turn over in pieces and cook until other side is browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, breaking up and stirring, until cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Using a slotted spoon, scoop lamb over hummus.
Pour out and discard fat and wipe out skillet. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil over high. Cook squash in a single layer, undisturbed, until browned, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining spice mixture and garlic and cook, stirring, until squash is coated and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Spoon squash over lamb. Drizzle with more oil and top with herbs. Serve with pita.
Grilled Lamb Chops and Peppers

Ingredients:
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. chopped rosemary
2 Tbsp. plus 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil; plus more for peppers
12 lamb rib chops (about 2 1/4 lb. total), preferably unfrenched
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 cup parsley leaves with tender stems
1/2 cup small dill sprigs
1 lemon
12–16 Jimmy Nardello peppers, 8 Cubanelle peppers, or 8 oz. shishito peppers
Red wine vinegar (for serving)

Instructions:
Pound garlic, rosemary, and 2 Tbsp. oil with a mortar and pestle until pulverized. (Alternatively, finely grate garlic and finely chop rosemary. Combine in a small bowl and mix in the oil.) Season lamb chops on both sides with salt and black pepper. Coat all over with garlic paste and let sit at room temperature 30 minutes or cover and chill up to 12 hours.
Just before you are ready to grill the chops, make the herb salsa. Pound parsley and dill with mortar and pestle with a big pinch of salt until coarsely crushed. (Alternatively, finely chop the herbs and combine in a medium bowl.) Finely grate zest from lemon into herbs, then slice lemon in half and squeeze in its juice. Stir in 1/2 cup oil; taste and season herb salsa with more salt if needed.
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Grill lamb chops, turning often to encourage fat to render and moving to a new spot on the grill whenever there’s a flare-up, until nicely charred on the outside but still pink in the center, 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a platter and let rest 5–10 minutes.
While the chops are resting, toss peppers in a medium bowl with enough oil to coat; season with salt. Grill peppers, turning often, until skins are blistered and charred in spots and flesh is tender, about 3 minutes. Return to bowl, add a few dashes of vinegar, and toss to coat.
Serve lamb and peppers with herb salsa for spooning over.
Brothy Steamed Clams with Corn

Crushed red pepper flakes and grilled or toasted bread (for serving)

Instructions:
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot with a lid over medium-high. Add fennel and leek and season with salt. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and corn and cook, stirring, until garlic is translucent, about 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup water and simmer until corn is bright yellow and starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add wine and simmer until slightly reduced, about 30 seconds. Add clams, cover pot, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until clams open, 8–12 minutes. Discard any clams that have not opened. Top with parsley, chives, and a few pinches of red pepper flakes and drizzle with oil. Serve with grilled bread for soaking up pan sauces.
Tomato Salad with Warm Basil Dressing

2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
Kosher salt
1/2 lemon
Flaky sea salt

Instructions:
Cook oil, shallot, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until shallots and garlic begin to turn golden, 7–9 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in anchovies, if using (they’ll dissolve in the oil quickly), and basil.
Toss tomatoes with vinegar and a pinch of kosher salt in a medium bowl. Transfer to a platter and pour warm dressing over. Finely grate lemon zest on top and sprinkle with sea salt.
Steak Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette

Ingredients:
1 (1 1/2 inch-thick) boneless New York strip steak (about 1 lb.)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. (or more) red wine vinegar
6 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 cups corn kernels (from about 2 ears corn)
2 sprigs thyme
1 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 head of butter lettuce, leaves separated
2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 pint cherry tomatoes
halved

Instructions:
Pat steak dry with paper towels; season generously with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature while you make the dressing or up to 1 hour.
Meanwhile, whisk shallot, mustard, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, gradually stream in 5 Tbsp. oil. Whisk until dressing is thick and emulsified, then whisk in 1 Tbsp. water; season with salt. Taste and add a splash of vinegar if needed.
Heat a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Pat steak dry again. Rub with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Using tongs, turn steak onto fat cap and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn steak back onto a flat side and cook, turning every minute or so, until medium-rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should register 125°), about 4 minutes longer. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes.
Wipe out skillet and let cool 2 minutes. Set skillet over medium-high; cook corn, thyme, and butter, stirring occasionally, until corn is browned in spots, 5–7 minutes.
Arrange lettuce on a platter; season with salt and pepper. Whisk dressing to reincorporate and drizzle half over lettuce. Toss cucumbers and tomatoes in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle in 2 Tbsp. dressing; toss again. Spoon over lettuce. Thinly slice steak crosswise; arrange on top. Drizzle remaining dressing over and top with corn.

1/4 red or white onion, very thinly sliced
Kosher salt
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions:
Combine vegetables and onion in a medium bowl; season generously with salt. Let sit until they start to release their water, 8–10 minutes, then begin to massage, gently at first so they don’t break, then harder as they begin to expel their liquid, until softened to about the texture of coleslaw. Pour off all excess liquid and add vinegar and oil; toss to coat. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
Do Ahead: Slaw can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.

1 lb. small tomatoes (such as Sun Gold and/or cherry), some halved, some left whole
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

Instructions:
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add lemon slices and cook until lightly charred around the edges, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer lemon slices to a medium bowl. Set aside skillet with oil.
Break feta into large pieces and add to bowl with charred lemons along with oregano and remaining 1/2 cup oil; season mixture lightly with salt and generously with black pepper. Toss very gently to coat and set aside.
Set reserved skillet over medium-high heat and add frying peppers. Cook, shaking pan occasionally, until skins are lightly charred and flesh is tender, 6–8 minutes. Transfer peppers to a cutting board and let cool slightly, then cut in half lengthwise.
