Russian Vinegret Salad

Boiled beets, potatoes, and carrots diced small and tossed with briny dill pickles, sauerkraut, green onions, and a simple sunflower oil dressing. This salad has been on Russian holiday tables for over a century. It is earthy, tangy, and satisfying cold — the kind of thing that gets better by the day and tastes best made a day ahead.

Spanish Tortilla with potatoes, eggs and olive oil — Spain recipe

Vegetable and Mushroom Dishes

Spanish Tortilla

Potatoes and onion slow-cooked in olive oil until soft, then bound with beaten eggs and set into a thick round omelette. Five ingredients. The technique is what matters. In Spain this gets eaten at any hour — breakfast, tapas, a wedge in a bread roll at midnight. It is one of those dishes that tastes better the next day cold, which is not something you can say about many things.

Patatas Bravas with potato, olive oil and tomato — Spain recipe

Vegetable and Mushroom Dishes

Patatas Bravas

Patatas bravas — literally 'fierce potatoes' — is one of the most ordered tapas dishes in Spain. The concept is simple: crispy fried or roasted potatoes served with a smoky, spiced tomato sauce called salsa brava and a drizzle of garlic aioli. The potatoes need two things to be genuinely good: a fluffy interior and a crisp exterior that holds up under the sauce. The baking soda trick in the parboiling water roughens the potato surface and dramatically improves crispiness whether you roast or fry. The bravas sauce is built on smoked paprika — pimentón de la Vera, the sweet-smoky Spanish kind — which is non-negotiable. The aioli is simply good mayonnaise with fresh garlic and lemon.

Sheet-Pan Harissa Chicken with Garlic Yogurt with chicken, harissa and yogurt — Mediterranean recipe

Sheet-Pan Harissa Chicken with Garlic Yogurt

One pan, one hour, a lot of flavor. Bone-in chicken thighs marinated in harissa, cumin, and olive oil roast at high heat alongside waxy potatoes and leeks, developing a spiced crust that stays crisp while the interior stays juicy. The garlic yogurt comes together in two minutes while the chicken is in the oven — cold, garlicky, slightly sharp, the exact counterpoint to the hot, smoky chicken. A handful of peppery rocket and fresh dill over the top before serving keeps the whole thing from being heavy. This is mid-week food that tastes like you planned it.

Pulpo a la Gallega (Galician Octopus with Potatoes) with octopus, waxy potatoes and onion — Spain recipe

Pulpo a la Gallega (Galician Octopus with Potatoes)

Pulpo a la gallega is Galicia's most famous dish and one of the simplest in Spanish cooking — tender slices of boiled octopus laid over soft potatoes on a wooden plate, then finished with nothing but coarse salt, smoked paprika, and a generous stream of olive oil. There's no sauce and nowhere to hide, so everything rests on cooking the octopus to exactly the right point and using paprika and oil worth tasting on their own.
