Ragout of Cannellini, Sausage, Clams, and Broccolini
A homey stew that comes together quickly. Vibrant broccolini, more delicate than broccoli, cooks quickly and keeps its deep green color without pre-blanching. The liquid from the beans gives the sauce a nice body without any additional thickener. Earthy, spicy comfort food.
Cornmeal Crusted Fish with Mint Chimichurri

You can use any thin white fish fillets for this dish; I've chosen catfish this time around.

Roasted Beets with Caraway and Balsamic Vinaigrette
Naturally sweet beets, still warm from the oven, are tossed with a sharp vinaigrette scented with caraway seeds. These bear no resemblance to insipid canned beets; if you've never roasted your own, you will be pleasantly surprised.
