Classic Garlic Bread
For this classic garlic bread, you can cut and butter the bread well in advance, but don’t bake it until guests arrive. This is part of BA's Best, a collection of our essential recipes.
Squash and Bean Minestrone
To prevent the pasta from getting too soft, we cook it separately and toss it with olive oil and chopped parsley, then spoon it into each bowl of soup.
Arugula Salsa Verde
Using mature arugula leaves instead of the baby variety will make for a more peppery salsa. For a nice variation, try it with fresh basil and/or parsley.
Yogurt and Sumac Sauce
We developed this thick, garlicky yogurt sauce sprinkled with tart sumac to pair with eggplants that had been roasted directly on a bed of hot coals. They get so smoky and silky, that this cold, creamy sauce paired perfectly—especially when served with grilled naan. That said, you can use it on just about anything. Feel free to experiment with other seasonings besides sumac, like lemon zest, za'atar, or crushed red pepper flakes.
Coal-Roasted Eggplants
Once you've charred them, you can drizzle these eggplants with your best extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with some coarse salt for a simple side.
Creamy Chive Potatoes
When cooked just right, the potatoes will be tender but should still hold their shape.
Butter-Braised Spring Onions with Lots of Chives
Onion flavor is layered in this dish: The greens have a brightness to balance the bulbs' sweetness, the cooking liquid becomes a butter sauce, and fresh chives deliver a high note to finish.
Fresh Chive Vinaigrette
Herbs in the dressing beg for herbs in the salad, too. We like to toss this vibrant, green vinaigrette with Bibb lettuce and lots of the tender herbs—like mint, chervil, and parsley. This recipe will dress about 8 cups of mixed greens, and you’ll want to use it all up at once—and close to when you start chopping (the garlic and chives won’t let this last longer than a few hours). Freshness is key here!
Roasted Pork Belly with Gingery Rhubarb Compote
The belly's thick layer of fat keeps the pork tender as it cooks. It's cooked low and slow to ensure the meat is tender, then crisped up over high heat.
