Eggplant and Lentil Stew with Pomegranate Molasses

Eggplant and Lentil Stew with Pomegranate Molasses
Go to Recipe

A summer staple from the coastal town of Antakya, this light stew is a favorite of Musa Dagdeviren’s wife, Zeynep, who was born there. To keep the textures and flavors of the vegetables distinct, Musa layers the eggplant in a pot with tomatoes, lentils, chopped onions and garlic, then slowly cooks it, covered, without stirring. The stew is best when made ahead and allowed to mellow for at least a few hours.

Herbed Polenta and Parmesan Gratin
Go to Recipe

Maria Helm Sinskey, culinary director of Robert Sinskey Vineyards in Napa Valley and author of the phenomenal cookbook The Vineyard Kitchen, created this indulgent baked polenta, made with plenty of Parmesan. It’s just as good when made ahead and reheated as it is when it comes straight out of the oven.

Sunchoke-Kale Hash with Farro

Sunchoke-Kale Hash with Farro
Go to Recipe

Among the appealing things about this earthy winter hash is its many textures, including crispy, caramelized sunchokes, silky oyster mushrooms, tender kale and chewy farro. It’s wonderful with grilled skirt steaks, but also good on its own as a vegetarian main course.
