This hearty, lemon-brightened risotto is a welcome meal for cold days. While it’s not traditional, I like to add a bit of quinoa and walnuts to the mix for a bit of a nutritional boost. Pictured here with simply- grilled mushrooms and chives. The mushrooms were tossed with a splash of olive oil and smashed under a cast iron skillet on a hot grill pan until golden.

Smoky Grilled Eggplant with Feta and Mint
By Sheela Prakash
It took me a long time to realize the secret to better grilled eggplant is to reverse things a bit and season it after grilling. Marinating the sponge-like vegetable post-grill means it fully absorbs and locks in flavors, which here is a savory combination of olive oil, sherry vinegar, garlic, and smoked paprika. Finish things off with crumbled feta and torn fresh mint for the ultimate summer side.
