Classic Rice Pilaf
Try this baked rice pilaf for a perfect batch of white rice made without a rice cooker. Once you see how incredibly delicious and foolproof this method is, you'll never cook rice on the stovetop again.
Braised Black Lentils
This black lentil recipe is one of my favorite side dishes. Black lentils are also known as beluga lentils since they resemble beluga caviar, the most prized of all caviar varieties.
Chef John's Braised Red Cabbage
Braised red cabbage is a very beautiful, super easy cabbage side dish. All ingredients in this recipe are totally to taste. It's a little bit sweet and a little bit tangy, with a tiny hint of caraway to interest you.
Persian Rice
This Persian rice with golden potatoes and saffron takes the grand prize. I believe I've posted a few foolproof methods for cooking perfect rice, but the beauty of this method is that it doesn't rely on any specific measurements or exact times. This will make some of you very nervous but just go with it.
Smashed Cucumber Salad
This smashed cucumber salad is one of my all-time favorite cold summer side dishes. By crushing our cucumber before we cut it, we produce flavors that un-smashed cukes can't. The only decision you're going to have to make is how long to let the cucumbers marinate — half an hour or so or not at all. Perfect with grilled meat or shrimp.
Fast and Easy Creamed Spinach
This somewhat healthy creamed spinach recipe is lighter than traditional creamed spinach. It is a little easier, a little quicker, and a little more contemporary. Have all your ingredients ready to go ahead of time. It's a classic steak side dish.
Chef John's Perfect Mashed Potatoes
This mashed potatoes recipe shows you the proper technique for making buttery, fluffy, lump-free mashed potatoes every time for the ultimate comfort food.
Chef John's French Fries (How to Make)
Learn how to make French fries that are super crispy with this twice-fried method. I don't think most people realize that any decent French fry needs to be fried twice. The first frying is done at a lower temperature, which softens the potato and prepares the starchy surface for the second frying's crispification.
Roasted Delicata Squash
Delicata squash is roasted in the oven until tender and flavorful in this easy recipe. You don't have to peel delicata squash. Serve warm as a side dish or at room temperature as a snack with pumpkin spice aïoli.
Fondant Potatoes
My fondant potatoes are oven-braised in a buttery, thyme-flavored sauce. The result of this old-school method? Golden brown potatoes with a crispy crust that remain rich and creamy on the insides. Serve this classic French side dish alongside roast chicken, beef, or fish.
How to Make Perfect Polenta
Polenta is nothing more than coarsely ground cornmeal. The classic ratio is 1 part polenta to 4 parts water, but I like to measure the polenta just a little scant of a full cup. I often use chicken broth instead of water. It's a great base for any kind of saucy meat or mushroom ragout.
Parisian Potatoes
If you are cooking for somebody special on date night, these gorgeous crispy potato balls would be an excellent choice. They are essentially a round butter-flavored French fry. You will need a Parisian scoop (melon baller) to make this recipe. Serve with a nice bistro steak.
