Think paella without the animal protein. Tomatoes pureed with onion, garlic and stock give this rice pilaf subtle flavor. It’s a perfect side for spicy dishes like chiles rellenos and pork tamales.

Zongzi
These sweet or savory sticky-rice bundles—basically an Asian version of tamales— are often eaten during the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, which takes places near the summer solstice. Here, we stuff ours with a simple filling of red bean paste flavored with lemon and ginger. Both the rice and dried bamboo leaves need to soak overnight, so plan accordingly.

Arroz con Leche
Arroz con Leche, a creamy and comforting rice pudding, is perfumed with cinnamon, finely grated orange zest and pure vanilla extract. Evaporated milk lends a caramel-like sweetness while sour cream offers a tangy finish. Cooking the rice before simmering it with the milks, sugar and aromatics guarantees perfectly tender rice suspended in a thick, creamy pudding. We like our arroz con leche served warm, but it is equally delicious cold, straight from the fridge.
