tips to help you cook with speed and success

If you have convection capability, use it. Convection cooking uses hot air to roast and bake. Foods brown and caramelize faster in convection mode, and your oven will preheat faster as well. To adapt these quickcooking recipes to convection mode, just set your oven temperature as directed in the recipe and set the timer a few minutes less. Monitor the cooking until you get the hang of it.

Purchase a large plastic cutting board. A larger cutting board, for example 18 by 24 in/46 by 61 cm, will give you plenty of room to cut all your fresh vegetables at one time, and if it’s plastic it can be washed in the dishwasher.

When you buy the knife, invest in a sharpening steel as well. The steel actually keeps your knife sharp, affording you fewer trips to the professional sharpener. Ask the salesperson to demonstrate how to use the steel or check out the technique online. Slice food thinly for faster cooking. In order for fresh vegetables and meats to cook quickly, it’s necessary to cut them into thin slices so that the heat can penetrate. Make the cuts according to the directions in the recipe and your dinner will be on the table in no time.

Freshly ground black pepper is more robust than packaged ground peppers. To give your food more oomph, buy a peppermill (it needn’t be expensive), fill it up with whole black peppercorns, and grind the fresh pepper directly onto your food. It adds a blast of flavor to everything. Simply add as much as suits your taste. Chicken broth adds extra flavor. When cooking quickly, flavors don’t have the chance to develop as they do when cooking at a slower pace. Therefore, I call for chicken broth in many recipes in this book, for a little taste boost. The best way to buy broth is in aseptic containers (those coated and lined cardboard boxes with built-in plastic spouts all over the grocery shelves these days); look for low-sodium versions. Well-stocked supermarkets usually have relatively inexpensive, high-quality organic broth products. If you don’t use an entire box,

just close the spout and store it in the fridge for 4 to 5 days or freeze for 4 to 6 months. Use panko bread crumbs for extra crunch. Panko are Japanese bread crumbs now found in most well-stocked grocery stores. Made from bread without crusts, panko crumbs are light and flaky and add effortless crispiness to toppings and pan-fried meats and vegetables. You’ll never use those sawdusty Italian bread crumbs again. Ethnic ingredients inject food with interesting flavors. It’s fun to try new flavors, to keep the dinner table fresh and interesting. The few ethnic ingredients in this book are used in multiple recipes, so you’ll be able to use them up over time as you explore these pages. Take a cruise down the international aisle at your grocery store. Flavors from other continents are just waiting on the shelves to be discovered. Extra-virgin olive oil and regular (“pure”) olive oil are healthful options for cooking. A general rule is to use extra-virgin olive oil, which is more expensive, for salad dressings and uncooked foods, and regular olive oil for cooking. I prefer to cook with olive oil and rarely reach for flavorless vegetable oils of the canola sort, but the two types are interchangeable. Either works fine for these recipes.

K I T CH EN C OU N T E R P O I N T S

O N E PA N , T W O P L AT E S

Use a heavy skillet. A heavy skillet will allow you to use higher heat (which cooks faster, naturally) than most lightweight cookware. I recommend a 12-in/30.5-cm cast-iron skillet with a lid and an ovenproof handle so that it can go from stovetop to oven safely. Nothing cooks like a cast-iron skillet, and they’re often inexpensive to boot.

Invest in a sharp knife. Nothing will improve your kitchen life more than a sharp knife. For the kitchen freshman, I recommend a 7- or 8-in/17- or 20-cm Santoku, which is a Japanese version of the traditional European chef’s knife. If you have chef-size aspirations, go for a 10-in/25-cm classic chef’s knife. Once you get used to it, the extended length makes chopping less work and more fun. After use, just rinse the knife and dry it off. Don’t put it in the dishwasher, as that tends to dull the blade.

Buy a box of kosher salt. If you aren’t already using it, switch to kosher salt for cooking. The clean flavor is vastly superior to regular iodized salt, which can add a metallic taste to your food. I like to keep kosher salt in a ramekin close to the stove. That way I can grab it with my fingers instead of shaking unknown quantities from a shaker. And don’t be shy with the salt; you are cooking fresh food and, for the best flavor, it needs to be seasoned.

Winter Frittata with•• •• • • •• •• • • • ••• • • • •• ••••• and•• • • • ••••••• • •• •• • • •

The frittata has been relegated to the breakfast and lunch scene for too long. It’s one of the easiest, fastest, and most filling meals going. The secret to making a frittata a complete meal is to fill it up with lots of great-tasting vegetables. Whatever floats your boat—just load the pan with veggies and cook them until tender. This one is full of greens, bacon, and salty feta cheese. It just might be my favorite. We sometimes have a slice of frittata left over. Just refrigerate it until the next day and have it for lunch.

Turkey Tonkatsu with••• • • • • • • •••••• • •• • • • • • • •• • ••••• • •••• and••• •• • ••••• •• • • •• •• •• • •

Tonkatsu is a popular Japanese dish of breaded and deep-fried cutlet—kind of a Japanese schnitzel, if you will. A dip into mustard-flavored egg and extra-flaky panko bread crumbs and a quick sauté in sizzling hot pan renders the turkey crispy, tender, and full of flavor. Traditionally served with raw cabbage and pickled vegetables, this version of tonkatsu includes sautéed portobello mushrooms and napa cabbage laced with soy and pickled ginger . . . just enough to keep the Japanese theme but with an adjustment for Western tastes.

1/2 lb/225 g turkey cutlets

Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 large egg 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 1 tbsp water 1 cup/110 g panko bread crumbs 3 tbsp vegetable oil

cutlets between sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper and, using the flat side of a meat pounder or a small, heavy skillet, pound to a thickness of about 1/8 in/ 3 mm. Sprinkle the turkey all over with salt and pepper and set aside. 2. Whisk the egg, mustard, and water together in

a shallow bowl. Spread the panko on a large plate.

1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced 2 large portobello mushroom caps, feathery gills scraped out with a teaspoon and discarded 1 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp pickled ginger (see “It’s that easy”)

Dip a turkey cutlet in the egg, then dredge in the panko, covering both sides completely. Lay the cutlet on a plate. Repeat to coat the remaining cutlets. 3. Heat a 12-in/30.5-cm skillet over medium-high

heat and add 2 tbsp of the vegetable oil. When the oil shimmers, add half the turkey cutlets and cook until browned on the first side, about 3 minutes. Don’t move them while they brown, and don’t try

it’s that easy: You can find pickled ginger in a jar in

the refrigerated section at your market. We tend to think of it as a partner with sushi, but it is a terrific condiment for grilled meats and vegetables, or anything that needs a bit of Asian mojo. At my market they also sell it packaged in smaller containers near the sushi. Feel free to pick up a container of wasabi as well if you want to give this dish some serious heat.

4. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the hot pan. Add

the cabbage and onion and stir to coat with the oil. Move the cabbage mixture to one side of the pan and add the mushrooms to the empty half, top-sides down. Cook the mushroom caps until browned on the first side, about 2 minutes, meanwhile stirring the cabbage mixture occasionally. Turn the mushrooms over and brown the other side, another 2 minutes or so. Continue to stir the cabbage every now and then. Drizzle the soy sauce over the cabbage and mushrooms along with a few grinds of pepper and toss to combine well. Remove the pan from the heat, cover tightly, and let stand for the mushrooms to continue to soften and become tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to the plates with the turkey cutlets and top them with the seasoned cabbage. Scatter the pickled ginger over the top of everything and serve right away.

extra hungry? A little color would be welcome

on the plate. Microwave some frozen edamame and blend them into the cabbage for some good green stuff. in the glass: Look for a rich and fruity white like

Pinot Grigio to accompany this dish. There are countless inexpensive bottlings from Italy, such as Marco Felluga, and more and more of this popular wine originates in California and the Pacific Northwest as well. Explore.

1. Working with one at a time, place the turkey

3 cups/255 g thinly sliced napa or savoy cabbage

to turn them if they are stuck to the pan; they will release when they are sufficiently crisp and brown. Give them a nudge to check for sticking and when they release, turn them over with tongs and brown on the other side, about 2 minutes. Transfer the cutlets to two warmed plates and cover to keep them warm (or place in a low oven). Repeat the process with the remaining cutlets.

Chicken Stew with•• • • • •• • • • ••••• • •• • • • • • ••••• and•• •• • • •• •• •••

You know how good a soft cashmere scarf feels around your neck on a blustery day? Think of this dish as a cashmere scarf for your taste buds. The leek really adds a subtle flavor as only a leek will, so try to use it if you can. If finding a leek is too much trouble, go ahead and use a small onion, thinly sliced. Carrot and celery round out the veggies in the stew, with orange juice and diced tomatoes tarting up the whole thing. The olives add a briny touch and the orange zest gives this chicken-in-a-pot a bright citrusy note that you’ll find particularly addictive. Kind of like that cashmere scarf.

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (see “It’s that easy”) Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tbsp olive oil 1 leek, white and tender green parts, trimmed, rinsed thoroughly, and thinly sliced (see “It’s that easy,” page 33) 1 carrot, peeled and thinly sliced 1 celery stalk, thinly sliced

bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer the stew until the chicken is tender and shreds easily, about 30 minutes. 3. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the

chicken thighs to a large plate and let cool slightly. When it’s cool enough to handle, cut or shred the meat into bite-size pieces. Return the chicken to the pot and add the olives, half of the parsley, and half of the orange zest. Taste and season the stew with more salt and pepper if it needs it. 4. Scoop the cooked rice into two warmed shallow

bowls and top with the chicken stew. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and zest and serve hot.

it’s that easy: Stews and braises are all about the

sauce, and when it comes to creating a sauce rich with chicken flavor, chicken thighs reign supreme. Don’t even think about trying to make this dish with chicken breasts. They’re too lean and don’t have enough flavor to share with the surrounding liquid.

extra hungry? Olive oil–toasted bread is so easy:

just drizzle slices of nice crusty bread with olive oil and toast in your toaster for a quick fix. in the glass: A Châteauneuf-du-Pape would be perfect with this zesty chicken stew. Look for a bottle from Joseph Drouhin for a good value, but if you feel like a splurge, try a bottle of Télégramme. It’s the second bottling from the venerable Vieux Télégraphe label and so has a lower price tag, but with much of the charm of its more expensive sibling.

It may have a bit of an image problem, but I give a big thumbs-up to the crispy chicken finger. I don’t like to use those overpriced tenders with that pesky tendon that runs through the length; cutting your own from a good-quality breast is easy, and highlights the virtues of America’s favorite white meat. Quick-cooking slices dredged in crispy cornflake crumbs (conveniently, you can now buy prepared crumbs in boxes), my crunchy chicken digits are accompanied by a dipping sauce of Major Grey’s chutney spiked with mayo and mustard.

2 tbsp Dijon mustard 2 tbsp mayonnaise Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, each cut crosswise on the diagonal into 6 slices

2 medium or 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into sticks about 6 in/15 cm long and no more than 1/2 in/12 mm wide (see “It’s that easy”) 2 tsp olive oil, plus 3 tbsp, or more if needed Leaves of 1 sprig fresh rosemary, minced 1/4 cup/55 g of your favorite chutney from a jar

1/2 cup/55 g cornflake crumbs (a box of prepared crumbs saves time)

134

1 tbsp of the mayonnaise, 1/4 tsp salt, and a few grinds of pepper and stir to mix. Add the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Pour the cornflake crumbs

onto a plate and dredge the chicken in the crumbs, pressing to coat each piece completely. Spread them on a plate to dry slightly while you cook the potatoes.

it’s that easy: In order for the fries to cook up tender

heat and add 2 tbsp of the olive oil. Quickly add the sweet potatoes on their biggest flat side in a single layer. You may need to do this in two batches; do not crowd the pan. The fries will spit, so use a splatter screen if you have one. Don’t move them. Just let them brown on that side for about 4 minutes, checking the underside of a fry occasionally to be sure that they don’t overbrown or burn. Depending on your stove, you may have to adjust the heat up or down. Turn the fries with tongs or a fork and cook until browned on the opposite side, 3 or 4 minutes longer. The sugar in the potatoes will make them very brown; this is okay. Add more oil if necessary to keep things sizzling. Transfer the fries to a large plate lined with paper towels and cover with another paper towel to keep warm.

in the glass: This feast kind of reminds me of

a Happy Meal—even the cornflake coating on the chicken has a trace of sweetness—but for adults. So in the spirit of happiness, how about trying a Gewürztraminer? If you can find it, the Lenz Gewürztraminer from Long Island, New York, is a change of pace from the usual drier whites and embodies the fruit-forward characteristics of this varietal. Try it. It just might make you happy.

and quickly arrange the chicken tenders in the pan in a single layer. Follow the same drill as with the potatoes: Don’t move the chicken while it browns on the first side, about 3 minutes. Turn the chicken to brown the second side, about 3 minutes longer, adding more oil to the pan if necessary to keep things sizzling.

extra hungry? A tossed green salad would be a nice accompaniment to this crispy dinner. Just toss whatever greens you have in the crisper drawer with a squirt of lemon, a glug of olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper and it’s done.
