Shrimp and Couscous with Tomatoes and Toasted Almonds
This one-pot rendition of Sicily’s couscous alla Trapanese gently cooks shrimp and couscous at the same time in a covered pot. Almonds add crunch while tomatoes offer brightness.
Moroccan-Inspired Roasted Spiced Chicken
This roasted chicken gets loads of flavor from a simple spice-and-herb infused butter that is brushed onto it just before going in the oven. Smoked paprika lends rich color along with a flavor evocative of outdoor grilling.
Spicy Ground Beef Kebabs with Tomato-Sumac Sauce
Ground beef seasoned with fragrant spices is formed into patties that cook in less than 10 minutes under the broiler. We finish the kebabs with a simple sauce made by broiling fresh cherry tomatoes. No stovetop cooking required.

Pasta with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe
Small, cup-like orecchiette pasta is perfect for catching the bits of broccoli rabe and fennel seeds that balance the richness of the sausage in this simple 30-minute pasta.
Flank Steak with Tomato-Eggplant Ragu
This quick one-pan meal finishes a seared flank steak with a rustic sauce inspired by the flavors of Greek moussaka—eggplant, tomatoes, garlic and herbs. Serve with crusty bread, rice or potatoes.
Jerusalem-Style Mixed-Grill Chicken
Using chicken thighs, select spices and a nonstick skillet, we re-create the flavors of a popular Israeli street food. Tuck the chicken into warm pita along with quick-pickled red onions and drizzle with a tahini-lemon sauce (recipes included).
FASTEST
Spiced Tahini Sea Bass with Cilantro and Pistachio
Sea bass fillets coated with tahini spiked with spices, garlic and a touch of honey develop delicious caramelization during a brief broiling. We finish the fillets with a shower of cilantro and chopped pistachios.
Sweet Peppers and Pork with Sage and Honey
Inspired by a dish we tasted on the Greek island of Ikaria, this skillet-cooked pork is colorful, savory-sweet and quick to prepare. The tangle of pork, peppers and onion is seasoned with honey, sage and black pepper.
Pasta with Fresh Tomatoes, Capers and Herbs
A chunky, deconstructed version of pesto pantesco, a southern Italian classic, our rustic no-cook sauce brings bold, punchy flavor to al dente pasta. This simple, summery dish captures the essence of Mediterranean cooking.
