7 Best Winter Recipes - Real Simple

How could we give you a roundup of cold-weather favorites without including a rich, warming chili? This one checks all the boxes, thanks to the combination of chorizo, onions, poblano peppers, and pinto beans that sing when mixed into the tomatoey broth. As for toppings, the more, the better: Avocado, cabbage, and lime wedges are suggested, but queso fresco, cilantro, and even corn chips would be equally welcome.

Mushrooms with Marsala and pistachios is a fantastic combination of flavors, which is why this pasta is currently one of my faves. Try using royal trumpet mushrooms, morels, cremini, shiitakes or oyster mushrooms. They all have different flavors and textures and experimenting with new varieties is part of the fun!

Giada's Amalfi Lemon Chicken

Lemon? Check. Crispy skin? The delicious smell of fresh herbs as the bird roasts? Easy enough to make on a weeknight? Check, check and check again. This recipe ticks all the boxes for me, and I'm sure it will for you as well.

Chicories, like radicchio, endive and Treviso, are no shrinking violets; their mildly bitter edge makes them assertive enough to stand up to even boldly flavored entrées. The lemony dressing adds brightness to any heavy meal.

7 Holi Recipes to Celebrate the Coming of Spring - Bon Appetit

Posted: 16 Mar 2021 07:16 AM PDT

For a lot of food people, spring means the emergence of green garlic, ramps, or curlicued fiddlehead ferns at the farmers' market. For me it doesn't feel like spring until it's Holi.

Known as the celebration of colors, spring, and love, Holi has long been a favorite holiday, a time to welcome in a new season and spread some joy. Traditions vary across the Hindu diaspora, but a centerpiece of Holi, which falls on March 28 and 29 this year, is the game of colors. When there isn't a global pandemic, people gather in the streets, parks, and other outdoor spaces to play, smearing colored powder or water on each other. It's a symbolic act of repairing broken relationships (and creating new ones) or marking the victory of good over evil. And it's pure, messy fun.

As a kid I was terrified of Holi games (I was shy!), but as an adult I've considered it an occasion to get to know my wider community. I've helped organize Holi dance shows, food drives, and children's events, ordering boatloads of chaat, making blenders full of lassi, and filling hundreds of balloons with colored water. I love playing a role in something that brings people together, which is why, for years, I dreamed of going to one Holi event in particular: chef Preeti Mistry's blowout bash in Oakland, California. Their Holi celebration commemorated the anniversary of their acclaimed restaurant Juhu Beach Club with stuffed puris, fun drinks, and an all-out game of colors. Mistry's Holi party was beloved by the community. "As a queer-owned business, we basically co-opted the word love," jokes Mistry. "Love wins. Love is love. It's ours. So we get the festival of love."

When Mistry closed the restaurant in 2018, I thought I lost my chance to try the menu specials they rolled out each year for the holiday. Then the idea for this story came about. With so many people stuck at home this year, we asked Mistry to create a vibrant, springy, veg-forward Holi menu that feels festive and can be flexible to feed however many people you're able to celebrate with. "Holi is not conducive to a sit-down, coursed meal or a buffet—it's more like finger food. And when you're doing finger foods, you want intense flavors that are spicy, salty, and rich," Mistry says. "Those are indicative of a really fun party."
