Good morning! Today we have for you:
-
A choose-your-own adventure template for one-pot beans, greens and grains
-
A quick dal recipe for that bag of red lentils
-
And, a chocolate chip-tahini cookie as big as the Ritz
Let’s recap. When we last left off, Sam Sifton had climbed off his fishing boat, put on hard shoes and headed to his new gig as the author of the Very Serious Morning newsletter. I was tapped as the Sunday stand-in. But it’s a cliffhanger! Can a gal who usually reports the news handle a Cooking newsletter? Will disgruntled Cooking subscribers turn to making reservations instead of supper? Stay tuned.
My ace in the hole is the Weeknight 100. It’s essentially like a little cookbook within Cooking. (Not for nothing, but we do have an actual Easy Weeknight Dinners cookbook.) Our fearless leader, Emily Weinstein, handpicked each recipe. This matters not only because she is my boss and I am trying to look good, but also because she is a master at balancing family, career and her unwavering love of food.
Here are some highlights from her list I’m using this week:
On Sunday, most of us have time to improvise a little in the kitchen, and I often start the week committed to eating well. (Read to the end to see how quickly I deteriorate.) Ali Slagle’s one-pot beans, greens and grains recipe hits both notes. You can mix rice and quinoa, or even sub in a cup of some other grain you might have in the pantry. Same thing with the greens. No kale? Use some collards or spinach. For those who like to accessorize with an egg or some hot sauce, this is your dish.
