Streamlined Eggplant Parmesan

Eggplant Parmesan is one of those dishes that is almost guaranteed to disappoint when ordered in a restaurant. But making it at home is a such a major undertaking, involving salting, breading, frying, simmering, and finally baking, that ordering it out sounds like a pretty good idea. Our recipe not only renders the dish doable in just a couple of hours, it delivers spectacularly good results. Gone are the soggy, slick eggplant slices and heavy, lifeless flavors—we bake our breaded eggplant slices, make a quick-cooked tomato sauce, and assemble with care to make the easiest and best-tasting Eggplant Parmesan. This recipe requires salting eggplant slices, and although it takes some time, it’s a simple step that has a big impact on the finished dish. Eggplant Parmesan would be served as a contorno—or side dish—on a traditional Italian table, but it’s hearty enough that it makes a satisfying main dish. Serve bread alongside, and offer a simple leafy salad before or after, whichever you prefer.

Croissants

Butter, flour, sugar: the ingredient list for croissants is very short, but many home bakers are intimidated by the process of preparing these pastry recipes at home. The layered structure that characterizes croissants is formed through a process called lamination. What is lamination? The method can vary slightly depending on the recipe and the pastry you're making, but generally lamination happens when a lean yeasted dough is wrapped around a block of butter. The package is rolled out and folded repeatedly to form paper-thin layers of dough separated by even thinner layers of butter. As the pastry bakes, the steam separates the layers, creating rise. The result is a flaky, buttery pastry that almost melts in your mouth. In this online course, you'll learn how to bake croissants at home. This recipe makes extra croissants that can be frozen, so you can always have croissants on hand.

Almost Hands-Free Risotto

Risotto is a classic rice dish from northern Italy. It’s well-loved for its lush, velvety texture and al dente rice grains; the medium-grain Italian rice that’s used to make risotto releases its plentiful starch during cooking and gives the appearance of being bathed in a creamy sauce. But the traditional cooking method requires at least 30 minutes of constant stirring. We developed an easier but still great-tasting risotto recipe that requires almost no stirring. Learn about the ingredients and equipment you’ll need to prepare this dish, as well as how to avoid mushy risotto or blown-out grains. And although it’s traditionally served as a first course or as a side dish to stews and braises, we added shredded chicken to this recipe so it is hearty enough to be served as a main dish.
