I never feel deprived when I make butternut or zucchini squash noodles, sold in the produce section at supermarkets. Add garlic, lemon, and shrimp and a light sprinkle of cayenne, and you’re on your way to a healthier you.
Main course
Pollo Fritto per Hanukkah (Fried Chicken for Hanukkah)
Potato latkes and jelly doughnuts called sufganiyot are the most widely known Hanukkah dishes in America. But in Italy, the focus is decidedly on pollo fritto— crunchy, oil-kissed fried chicken.
Balsamic and Brown Sugar Brisket
Braised brisket began as poverty cuisine—a method of low-and-slow cooking that was capable of transforming a cheap, tough cut of meat into something desirable. Over time, it has become one of the most iconic dishes of the Jewish American kitchen.
Roast Turkey Breast + Onions with Mustard + Sage
This is my go-to recipe for turkey breast that is the opposite of dry and boring and also cooks so quickly, which is the antithesis of most Thanksgiving turkey.
Chicken Piccata (Chicken Breast Cutlets with Lemon and Caper Sauce)
Chicken piccata is a recipe that every cook should know. It is simple, quick, and almost universally popular.
Halibut with Coarse Mustard and Rosemary Sauce
Although halibut is a relatively mild fish, the firm texture makes it hearty enough to stand up to bold sauces.
