Broccoli Rabe Skillet Pizza

For this ingenious, one-pan recipe, first brown one side of pizza dough in a skillet on the stove, and slide it out and use the pan for the vegetable topping. Then return the dough to the pan toasted side up, add the toppings, and pop the pizza in the oven to finish cooking.

Chef Michael Chiarello likes to make his salad-topped pizza recipe over a wood fire on a grill in a homemade firepit, but we’ve found it cooks nicely on a regular gas grill, too.

Leek and Chanterelle Tart

The simple and tasty salt-and-pepper crust of this tart is worth making from scratch. If you do use a ready-made crust, pick one without sugar.

Flaky Feta Tart

Flaky, cheesy, and–thanks to the addition of a few eggs–satisfying enough with just a side of salad.
