- BA’s Best Pesto. The key is to add the basil at the very end instead of blending everything all at once. View Recipe.
- Turkey and Bean Chili. Yes, turkey is a relatively lean protein, but when you pair it with white beans, a robust and concentrated chile purée, and simmer it for a short period of time, it delivers major body and richness.
- Charred Sweet Potatoes With Hot Honey Butter and Lime. When you mix hot sauce with butter, it turns into a spicy, creamy spread that’s perfect for melting atop burnished sweet potato halves, bringing them to life.
- Big Batch Chicken Thighs with Fennel and Scallions. Use a little extra time on a Sunday to make a meal with built-in leftovers and you’ll have the foundation for lunches during the week.
- Marinated Lentils with Lemony Broccolini and Feta. Roasted lemony broccolini, lentils, and salty feta are doused in a spiced oil that’s even better on day two.
- Curried Peanut Dip. This creamy, spicy-sweet dip pairs with leftover rotisserie chicken, jammy eggs, cucumber spears, and roasted sweet potatoes for the perfect desk-friendly lunch.
- Piri-Piri Meatballs. Fresh piri-piri chiles can be difficult to find, so for our take on a vibrant piri-piri sauce, we subbed in a fresh Fresno chile. View Recipe.
- Beet and Ricotta Hummus. This bright pink and super creamy hummus is a party showstopper. View Recipe.
- Charred Sweet Potatoes With Toum. This recipe is nice twice. The roasting and honey-glazing method is a great way to make sweet potatoes, and you also get an eggless garlic sauce that you’ll use again and again.
- Marinated Mixed Beans. Coating the herbs in oil and soaking the shallot in vinegar prevents oxidation, so you can keep these beans for days. View Recipe.
