Tomatoes may get the bulk of the summer spotlight, but let’s take a moment to praise all the pepper and chile varieties that start to emerge during the warmer months. Everything from mild bell peppers to zesty chiles become their best selves: sweeter, juicier, more alive in flavor. This recipe for Korean-Style Fried Peppers pays homage to two popular approaches to cooking peppers: one is deep-fried and battered whole peppers (twigim), found all over Korea as a street food snack to accompany cold beer; the other is pan-fried (jeon) halves, a common side dish, or banchan, in Korean homes. Both…

This sheet-pan dinner starring juicy peaches and skinless, boneless chicken thighs is cooked under the broiler, where the meat takes barely 20 minutes to cook to delightfully tender.

A summer side with main dish energy, these broiler-blistered, extra-long and wide green beans may become your favorite way to show off a vegetable. Romano beans, also known as Italian flat beans, are technically in the same family as your run-of-the-mill string bean, but much larger and almost meaty-tender in texture than their skinny counterparts. At the height of their season Romano beans can grow to be more than 8 inches long, making quite a spectacle when plopped on the dinner table. They’re available at the farmers market throughout the summer, and at some specialty grocery stores year round; that…

Morton kosher salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened to the consistency of a loose jam, about 15 minutes (it will thicken a bit more as it cools). Stir in ¼ cup fresh lemon juice and remove compote from heat. Let cool, then transfer to an airtight container and chill until cold, at least 1 hour.Do Ahead: Compote can be made 4 days…

Elotes and esquites, the beloved Mexican street food of grilled corn (both on and off the cob) adorned with mayonnaise (or sour cream), chile powder, Cotija cheese, and lime, is impossible to dislike. Sweet, smoky, spicy, and savory, it balances everything good in each bite. This stir-fry borrows that winning flavor combination and applies it to thin slices of pork tenderloin, chiles, and charred corn kernels for a winning weeknight dinner. It all gets tossed with crumbled cheese and mayo, before getting crowned with a zigzag of creamy mayo, a dusting of spice, cilantro, and lime juice. If mixing the…
