What to Cook This Week
It’s the sweltering days and nights of August, a good time to keep cooking light, quick and easy. It helps if you have a grill but heavy frying pan on top of the stove works just as well. Here are some quick recipes that fir the bill and also makes use of fresh Summer produce.
This low-fuss, spreadable salt-and-pepper butter makes seasoning your grilled corn a one-step affair at the dinner table.
Progression of a tomato sandwich: On buttered bread with salt; on bread with mayo and cheddar; seasoned and grilled with cheddar and mayo.
This parsley sauce, made with capers and garlic, is a perfect complement to mild-tasting cod.
This recipe was inspired by the Middle Eastern dried seasoning mix called za’atar, a combination of herbs (usually thyme, oregano and marjoram), sesame seeds and sumac, often spiked with salt. Here, fresh herbs are substituted for the dried, which, along with fresh parsley and mint and plenty of lemon and garlic, are used to marinated boneless chicken thighs.
Garlic and shrimp take center stage in this classic Spanish dish, which is served as a tapa in Spain but also makes a great main dish. Serve with rice, or if serving in earthenware dishes, with crusty bread for dipping.
Here, a colorful medley of fresh corn, bell pepper, and kale are sautéed with bacon fat, butter and shallots, then tossed with bacon bits and scallions. It’s endlessly versatile – substitute carrots or summer squash for peppers, onions for shallots, spinach for kale.
