An extra chile for this harissa recipe will play up the heat, and if you’re feeling confident, you can customize the mix of spices as well.

Chips and dip: classic, and every culture has its take. There's hummus and pita, tortilla chips and guac, British chips and tartar sauce... From time to time, we’ll run an Indian take on chips and dip using crunchy papadums (thin and crispy lentil crackers) with a cold, creamy version of dal (stewed beans and lentils). The trick is to keep the dal super light so it doesn’t snap the papadums.

These flavorful marinated onions also make a great condiment for grilled steak.

This chermoula sauce recipe is even better if it sits for a while to let the flavors meld.

When working with a large quantity of greens, it’s much easier to sauté them if they’re blanched first. Their time in the olive oil is more for flavoring and reaching the ideal texture.

Keep frozen shrimp in your freezer and a few staples like rice and coconut milk on hand and you can whip up this one-pot dinner any night of the week.

Marinate chicken breast cubes and vegetables in a blend of garlic, fresh dill, lemon, and olive oil for super-juicy, flavorful grilled skewers.

When you think of one-pot meals, hearty dishes like chili probably come to mind. Nothing wrong with chili, but this quick fish dinner is a great change of pace when you're in the mood for something that seems a bit fancier. Add a baguette to complete the meal.

A quick dip in a simple marinade spiked with garlic and cayenne makes for grilled skirt steak that's tender and flavorful. While the steak rests, grill cherry tomatoes and toss with blue cheese for a warm side salad.

Unlike most legumes, dried lentils cook quickly, which means this satisfying soup is fast enough for a weeknight supper. Make a double batch and pack up individual servings for lunches.

Pretty enough for company, this fresh fruit salad comes together in a snap.

You won't miss the meat in this hearty vegan soup inspired by stuffed peppers. Cut day-of prep time by making a big batch of rice in advance and using it in multiple meals.

Smoked paprika gives an almost bacon-like flavor to meatless meals like this vegan chili.

Because the crème fraîche melts into the potatoes, this dish has the virtue of tasting lush without appearing overly so. For an even more sumptuous look, give the salad a generous dollop on top.

An unexpected side dish that can be made hours ahead of a party; wait until the last minute to toss together.

This gluten-free dish offers all the melty goodness of a mac 'n' cheese dinner, without the carb-heavy pasta.

Remember those pink salt blocks everyone was searing steaks on for a minute? A bit of kosher salt performs a similar function: transmitting heat.

Granted, this is a bit of work for a salad, but that’s how to transform vegetables into brag-worthy ingredients. To simplify, you could char the beets and greens in a dry cast-iron skillet.
