Everyday Pancakes

Everyday Pancakes

It’s amazing how quickly you can whip up this batter, and you can keep it refrigerated for a couple of days before making the pancakes. You can also mix the dry ingredients to store indefinitely (this is, essentially, pancake mix); just add the eggs and milk when you’re ready to cook.

Celery Slaw

Celery hearts—paler, more tender, milder, less stringy—are the best for using raw. You’ll want to use a paring knife or a peeler to remove the toughest outer strings from the ribs. And do not forget the leaves; their flavor is ultra-strong, but used in moderation, they make a fine garnish.

Chicken with Mushrooms

Skin-on, bone-in chicken is more flavorful than skinless boneless numbers, but make this with what you have. I did not dredge the chicken and used oregano rather than parsley for the garnish. There’s room for flexibility here.

Broiled or Grilled Scallops with Basil Stuffing

One of my all-time favorite recipes. Even though it’s super easy to split and fill scallops, the results are guaranteed to impress. You can also use large shrimp here (split lengthwise for stuffing).

Caramel Stir-Fried Beef and Green Peppers

Beef braised in caramel flavored with fish sauce is a staple of Vietnamese cooking. In this interpretation, the sauce is streamlined and thinned, then used to quickly cook beef and vegetables, bubbling down to a sweet-salty coating in minutes. Rice is the typical accompaniment but I also like this over steamed broccoli, bok choy, or Asian greens like tatsoi or gai lan.

Grilled Corn Salad

This time of year, anyone who cooks thinks of grilling, corn, and tomatoes. I think the simplest—and best—thing to do is to put that all together into a light, versatile salad. Grilling the corn is an easy way to deepen its sweetness, and a healthy dose of lime juice will make almost any salad better.
