Gluten-free recipes

Recipes that do without wheat, barley, rye — not by swapping in gluten-free bread, but by letting rice, corn, potatoes, and legumes do the work they have always done.

Roast Chicken

A whole chicken roasted with herb butter under the skin, lemon and garlic in the cavity. The skin crisps at high heat first, then the bird finishes low and slow — the simplest way to get juicy meat and a proper crackling skin.

Roasted Leg of Lamb with Meyer Lemon

A whole leg of lamb in a 200°C oven for an hour and a half produces something that doesn't need much explaining — deeply browned crust, interior somewhere between rose and pink, pan juices worth mopping up with bread. What Meyer lemon does here that regular lemon can't quite pull off is this: the floral quality in the zest sits in the herb paste and works on the lamb for hours, going slightly sweet as it roasts, adding a brightness that cuts the richness without turning acidic. If you can't find Meyer lemon, use half regular lemon zest and half mandarin — the point is less tartness, more perfume. The paste goes inside the rolled roast and outside. Inside matters more. That's where the flavor lives between slices.

Roasted Sweet Potato Black Bean Bowls

Cubed sweet potatoes roasted at high heat until the edges caramelize, served over cilantro-lime rice with spiced black beans, avocado, and a quick chili-lime crema. About 14g of fiber and 16g of protein per bowl. Good warm, good cold, holds four days in the fridge — one of the few meal-prep recipes that actually tastes better by day three.

Rogan Josh

A jewel of Kashmiri cuisine — tender slow-braised lamb in a deep red aromatic sauce of yogurt, tomato, paprika, and warming spices. 'Rogan' means oil or clarified fat, 'Josh' means heat or passion in Persian. A royal Mughal dish that is earthy, rich, and deeply satisfying without being fiercely hot.

Romesco Sauce

A thick, brick-red Catalan sauce of roasted red peppers, toasted almonds, garlic, tomato, stale bread, and sherry vinegar, pounded together into a rustic paste with smoked paprika and good olive oil. Romesco is one of those sauces that makes everything it touches better — grilled vegetables, fish, roasted chicken, even a fried egg. It originates from the fishermen of Tarragona who needed a bold sauce for their catch, and it has not changed much since.

Sauces and Dips

Rouille (Provençal Saffron Garlic Sauce for Bouillabaisse)

Rouille (literally 'rust' in French — for its rusty-red color) is the classic Provençal saffron and garlic sauce from Marseille, the inseparable partner of bouillabaisse. Technically an emulsion similar to aïoli but with three defining additions: saffron (the soul of the sauce, giving color and perfume), hot pepper (piment d'Espelette or cayenne for the warm bite), and soaked white bread (the traditional Marseille technique that gives rustic texture and stabilizes the emulsion). Spread on baguette croutons floating in fish soup, used as a dip for seafood, or as a sandwich spread. Vegetarian, quick, spicy. Active work 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for saffron infusion. Yields 250 ml, serves 8 with bouillabaisse, fish soup, or seafood.

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.

Saganaki

A slab of firm Greek cheese dredged in flour and pan-fried in olive oil until the outside forms a thin golden crust and the inside becomes soft and yielding. The dish takes about 8 minutes from start to finish and must be eaten immediately — the crust stays crisp for only a few minutes before it softens as the cheese cools. A squeeze of fresh lemon over the hot cheese just before serving cuts through the richness and is not optional. Saganaki is the name of both the small two-handled frying pan traditionally used and, by extension, the dish itself.

Salade Lyonnaise (French Frisée Salad with Bacon and Poached Egg)

Salade lyonnaise is a classic French warm bistro salad of bitter frisée, crisp bacon lardons, and a poached egg, dressed with a warm mustard vinaigrette. The name means 'of Lyon,' the city in central France often called the country's gastronomic capital, which has given French cooking many classics — this salad among them. Unlike ordinary cold salads, the lyonnaise is served warm and at once: a warm vinaigrette, made right in the pan in the bacon fat, lightly wilts the bitter greens, and a poached egg with a runny yolk sits on top. When the yolk is broken and runs into the salad, it enriches the dressing and adds creaminess. The dish is a precise balance of bitter (frisée), salty (bacon), sour (vinegar, mustard), and rich (yolk, oil, bacon fat) — that is what makes a simple salad so satisfying and elegant. Technical keys: frisée holds the warm dressing without collapsing; thick-cut bacon or pancetta cut into lardons, the rendered fat saved for the vinaigrette; a warm mustard vinaigrette built in the pan; a poached egg with a runny yolk; wine or champagne vinegar; and serving it warm, straight away. A French bistro standard across the country, equally good for brunch, lunch, or a light supper.
