4 tuesday Roasted Cauliflower and Goat Cheese Frittata Active/total time: 35 minutes to 6 Roasting the cauliflower under the broiler gives it toasty, golden edges in just minutes, while the goat cheese, dill, and quick-pickled red onion add tons of flavor to this hearty frittata. 1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced lengthwise 2 Tbs. white vinegar 2 cups 1-inch cauliflower florets (about 1/2 small head) 2 Tbs. plus 2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil Freshly ground black pepper 8 large eggs 2 Tbs. chopped fresh dill 1/2 tsp. whole-grain mustard 2 Tbs. unsalted butter 6 oz. fresh goat cheese, crumbled (about 11/2 cups) Position a rack about 6 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler on high. Combine the onion, vinegar, and ½ tsp. salt in a small bowl; let sit for 10 minutes and then drain and pat the onion dry. Set aside. Meanwhile, on a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the cauliflower with 2 tsp. of the oil, ½ tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Broil, tossing once or twice, until the edges are golden, 3 to 6 minutes. Reposition the rack in the center of the oven and set the oven to 400 F. Whisk the eggs, dill, mustard, ½ tsp. salt, and ½ tsp. pepper in a medium bowl. Heat the remaining 2 Tbs. oil and the butter in a 12- inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until the butter melts. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until some of the pieces are dark golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the roasted cauliflower, and then slowly pour in the egg mixture, distributing the vegetables evenly. Sprinkle the goat cheese on top and bake until the eggs are set in the center, about 10 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes and then use a silicone spatula to slide the frittata onto a serving plate or cutting board. Slice into wedges and serve.

Easy-release frittatas For the best results in getting the finished frittata from the pan in one piece, choose a nonstick skillet.

5 wednesday Watercress Salad with Steak, Sauteed Shallots and Stilton Active/total time: 20 minutes This salad is heavier on greens than on steak, making it a light but filling meal. 3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard 12- to 14-oz. strip steak or rib eye (1 inch thick) Freshly ground black pepper 4 large shallots, sliced 1/4 inch thick (about 11/2 cups) 6 cups (lightly packed) small watercress sprigs (about 2 bunches trimmed of lower stems), torn into bite-size pieces 2 oz. Stilton, crumbled (about 1/2 cup) In a small bowl, whisk 2 Tbs. of the olive oil, the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and a generous pinch of salt. Season both sides of the steak with ½ tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. In a 10-inch straight-sided saute pan, heat the remaining 1 Tbs. oil over medium-high heat until hot. Cook the steak, without disturbing, swirling the oil in the pan occasionally, until the bottom of the steak is deeply browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is nicely browned, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the steak to a cutting board. Slice the beef thinly. Fan an equal number of slices on each of 4 dinner plates. Rewhisk the dressing if necessary. In a large bowl, toss the shallots, watercress, and Stilton with a generous pinch of salt and just enough of the dressing to coat. Season with more salt and pepper and arrange the salad over the beef slices.

(Use a spatula or spoon to break apart the shallot slices and to incorporate some of the browned bits from the pan.) Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

6 thursday BLT Pasta with Gremolata Active/total time: 30 minutes Crisp bacon. Juicy tomatoes. Peppery arugula. Delicious and adaptable, this basic idea can work with what you have on hand: spinach and fettuccine, say, instead of arugula and rigatoni. 1 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves 2 small cloves garlic, 1 whole peeled and 1 minced 1 medium lemon Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 9 oz. slab or thick-sliced bacon, cut into 1/2-inch-wide lardons 9 oz. rigatoni or similar pasta 3 lightly packed cups baby arugula (about 21/2 oz.) 1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil 2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes (yellow, orange, and red), halved or quartered (about 20 oz.) Finely chop the parsley. Scrape the parsley into a pile on a cutting board. Using a handheld raspstyle grater, grate the small garlic clove and then the zest of the lemon over the parsley. (Put the lemon aside for later; you ll need a few squeezes of the juice when you serve the pasta.) Finely chop together the parsley, garlic, and lemon zest. Scrape the mixture into a small bowl, add a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, and stir to mix. Set the gremolata aside. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper-towellined plate. Pour the bacon fat into a small bowl and set aside. Return the skillet to the burner; do not wipe it out. Divide the arugula evenly among four serving dishes. Heat 2 Tbs. of the bacon fat and the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Cook, scraping the pan to loosen the browned bits, until the tomatoes are almost tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in one-third of the cooked bacon and the minced garlic. Add the pasta and ½ cup of the cooking water. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine everything in the skillet, adding more cooking water if needed. Remove from the heat. Spoon equal portions of the pasta over the arugula on each plate and gently fold together. Add a generous pinch of the gremolata and a squeeze of lemon juice. Top with the remaining bacon. Serve with the remaining gremolata.

7 friday Smoked Turkey Reubens Active/total time: 30 minutes In this update on the classic, smoked turkey stands in for corned beef, while a fresh slaw and sun-dried tomato mayo take the place of sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing. 4 oz. green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 2 cups; or substitute coleslaw mix) 3/4 cup julienned kosher dill pickle (from 1 large) 2 tsp. cider vinegar 1/2 cup mayonnaise 3 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes 2 Tbs. ketchup 8 slices whole wheat bread 12 thin slices smoked turkey 8 thin slices Swiss cheese 2 Tbs. unsalted butter, softened In a medium bowl, toss the cabbage and pickles with the vinegar and ½ tsp. salt. Transfer to a colander, set it in the sink, and let sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, pulse the mayonnaise, sun-dried tomatoes, and ketchup in a food processor until the tomatoes are finely chopped. Squeeze the cabbage mixture to remove any excess liquid and return to the bowl. Toss the cabbage with 2 Tbs. of the mayonnaise. Spread the remaining mayonnaise on one side of each slice of the bread. Assemble the sandwiches, layering the turkey, cabbage, and cheese over 4 slices of the bread and topping with the other 4 slices. Spread the outsides of the sandwiches with the butter.

Pulse to combine. With the blender running, pour some olive oil, plus some of the oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes, in a slow steady stream through the feed hole in the blender s lid. Season with salt and pepper. Serve over a simple mixed green salad. (Extra dressing will keep in the fridge for several weeks). Heat a large grill pan, skillet, or stovetop griddle over medium-low heat. Working in batches if necessary, put the sandwiches in the pan, top with a grill press or heavy skillet to weigh them down, and cook until browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until browned and the cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes more. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve.
