Curried Lentils and PotatoesBy wpNotes: Hulled (decorticated) lentils, such as Red Chiefs, come from the Northwest. Smaller orange lentils are available in Indian markets. Both cook quickly.
Romaine Hearts with PipiánBy wpNotes: If making dressing up to 1 day ahead, cover airtight and chill. Serve at room temperature. Buy romaine hearts or use tender inner leaves from heads of romaine lettuce.
Mediterranean Wheat Berry SaladBy wp"My husband is mad about wheat berries," says Sunset reader Gererdene Gibbons. So she cooks the chewy grain in big batches, then packs and freezes it in 2-cup portions, ready to use for this salad and in other dishes.
Shrimp SatayBy wpNotes: Instead of spice paste, you can use 1/4 cup prepared Thai red curry paste. You will need about 24 thin wood or metal skewers; if using wood skewers, soak them in water at least 30 minutes just before using. Up to 1 day ahead, coat shrimp with spice mixture and thread onto skewers; wrap airtight and chill.
Spicy Braised Pork ShoulderBy wpMickey Strang likes bone-in pork shoulder because she can combine it with a few other ingredients in a Dutch oven and then forget about it until dinnertime. She serves this spicy pork with rice and beans. To peel the pearl onions, drop them in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes, then drain. When onions are cool enough to handle, trim off root ends and squeeze onions to slip out of peels.
