Recipe notes

Quick Butter-Braised Tomatoes and Dumplings

Store-bought dumplings, fresh tomatoes, butter, and soy sauce simmer away for dinner in a flash.

Gingery Pork Stuffed Tomatoes

We reimagined pork dumplings as a filling for juicy stuffed tomatoes.

Steak With Cherry Tomato Chutney

A steak dinner that’s more about the sauce than the meat.

Spicy Eggplant Frittata

Silky Japanese eggplant and fiery serrano chile unite in this no-fuss frittata that’s brunch-ready, dinner-worthy, and wildly good.

Turkish-Style Eggs and Tomatoes
