In partnership with
Mid-October means squash on every menu and curry season in full swing, so this week leans cozy, with Indian and Thai classics, a couple of serious braises, and some autumn pastas.
A few faves I keep coming back to:
Red Kuri Soup — the sweet, chestnut-y squash that makes the best fall soup, no contest
Salmon Tandoori — Rasika's smoky, spice-crusted take that'll make you rethink weeknight salmon
Khao Soi Northern Style Curry — rich coconut curry broth, tender noodles and that crispy noodle crown on top
The rest runs the gamut: a hearty Chicken & Pumpkin Seed Egusi Stew, slow-simmered Lamb Rogan Josh, fragrant Wild Chicken Biryani, fall-apart Braised Beef Cheeks, fiery Pad Krapow Gai, bright Chicken Laab Lettuce Wraps, wok-charred Drunken Noodles With Beef, silky Butternut Squash Agnolotti, Orecchiette With Sausage and Broccoli Rabe, a perfectly peppery Cacio e Pepe, and Sonoma Lamb Szechuan Noodles with real tingle.
14 ideas below, hope you find some dinner inspo! — Rhys
