Cooking Method: Roasting

Roasted Cauliflower with Feta, Almonds and Olives

This Roasted Cauliflower with Feta, Almonds and Olives is so easy and delicious. While the cauliflower roasts, you assemble the rest of the ingredients in no time. If almonds aren't available, walnuts or hazelnuts are good substitutions. I actually used blue cheese because I was out of feta. You can serve this dish warm, but it's equally good at room temperature if you want to make it ahead.

Ottolenghi’s Simple: Chicken Marbella

In the early '80s, Chicken Marbella, became a staple of New York dinner parties, especially for Passover Seders. It is so easy and incredibly delicious. The quintessential recipe came from The Silver Palate Cookbook, which was one of the most popular books in the '80s. This version of Chicken Marbella is from Yotam Ottolenghi's new cookbook Simple. Instead of prunes he uses dates, molasses instead of brown sugar and replaces the parsley with fresh oregano.

Baby Potatoes with Roasted Hatch Chile Vinaigrette

Yes, It's Hatch Chile season! I LOVE them. This year I did not opt to buy a 35-pound bag of roasted chiles, mainly because I have no room in my freezer which makes me very sad! I bought a small bag at Whole Foods and roasted them (or should I say, I asked my husband to roast them!) on the Big Green Egg. This recipe for Baby Potatoes with Roasted Hatch Chile Vinaigrette comes from Melissa's Produce. I simplified it a bit. I love using baby potatoes because they cook very quickly.
