Good morning. I like this recipe for a hoisin-glazed pork bowl with greens, even when I can’t discover watermelon radishes, received’t make it with black or brown rice and might by no means get my sugar snap peas to look as stunning as those Simon Andrews ready for David Malosh’s {photograph} (above). Make your bowl the perfect you could. It’s invariably fairly and all the time a sublime meal.
It’s additionally an excellent reminder that pork tenderloin is a worthy weeknight ingredient — shortly cooked within the oven, on the stovetop or on a grill — and a beautiful canvas for sauce. In that sense, it’s the tofu of meats. Which implies, in fact, that the transitive property applies: For the bowl, you would use tofu instead of the pork. Simply press it dry earlier than including it to the marinade, and let it sit for half-hour or so earlier than cooking.
Right here’s one other concept. I’ve been saying on and off for years now that it is best to all the time have some pizza dough within the fridge, getting flavorful on the lengthy proof. So when you have the dough, prepare dinner the pork bowl later. Make Monday night time pizza as a substitute!
You possibly can channel Roberta’s in Brooklyn, and make a model of their inexperienced and white pie. Or you would recall California Pizza Kitchen with a tackle that chain’s salad pizza with white beans and Parmesan. (Then there was the time I satisfied Margaux Laskey to make a chocolate chip cookie pizza. You possibly can all the time bake that!)
If none of these recipes go well with, how about brothy cod with peas and mushrooms? Or this inexperienced masala hen? And I’ve by no means regretted making portobello patty melts for dinner on a weeknight, not even as soon as. “It is a tremendous recipe, as is,” a subscriber wrote within the notes. “I kicked it up a number of notches and used big shiitake mushrooms and Morbier cheese as an experiment. Went from a ‘wow’ to a ‘wow-wee.’” I would give {that a} shot myself!
