Country Apple Galette
Jacques Pépin loves to serve this delicate apple tart as a buffet dessert, since it's beautiful, easy to slice and simple to eat, pizza-style, while standing. The miraculously easy and versatile pastry dough comes together in a food processor in less than 20 seconds and can be filled with all sorts of fruits or vegetables. Because the tart is free-form, the pastry can be rolled into either a round or a rectangle.

When I get a craving for meatballs, I have a very specific meatball in mind: They're completely tender all the way through without even a hint of toughness. They're big enough to require a fork, but modest enough to justify several on the plate. Maybe some onions and fresh herbs mixed in. Nothing fancy. Totally old-school.
Yes, this is a recipe for those very meatballs. More than a recipe — I'm walking you through each step, from mixing the meat (use your hands!) to shaping the meatballs to cooking them to perfection. I know what I'm having for dinner tonight. Do you?
Easy butternut squash soup! A tart green apple adds just the right balance for the squash. Watch how to make butternut squash soup - included with this easy butternut squash soup recipe.

THE BEST SAUTEED BOK CHOY
Spicy Green Tomato-Avocado Salad
Pickled Green Tomatoes
Green tomatoes and pickles probably aren’t two things that are often thought of together. Green tomatoes = fried. Pretty much. I mean, what else do you do with them (of course, green tomatoes not to be confused with tomatillos which make for some excellent salsa verde, green tomatoes are literally unripe tomatoes). And pickles, well, you can honestly pickle just about anything, including green tomatoes.
So there you have it, pickled green tomatoes.
This is my go-to curry for many busy weeknights and it never fails to win praise from anyone who eats it. All the time you need is for the tomatoes to break down and turn pulpy in the saucepan, and that takes hardly any time at all.
This stew tastes amazingly like Dahi Kadhi, a popular yogurt-based dish from western India. There’s something about the chemistry of the green tomatoes and the coconut milk that creates a rather yogurt-like flavor. If you are an Indian vegan longing for this old favorite, trust me, you will love this recipe.
Pair this stew with some white or brown rice and some Broccoli Paruppu Usili for a perfectly healthy meal on a busy weeknight. Then sit back and enjoy the compliments that will come rolling in.
