Flash-Braised Pork Chops with Apples and Cream

Flash-Braised Pork Chops with Apples and Cream

Braising sounds slow, but it can be weeknight-fast. After a skillet sear, pork rib chops and apples simmer in cider for 10 minutes. A swirl of cream and Dijon makes a luscious pan gravy at the end.Flash-Braised Pork Chops with Apples and Cream

Sheet Pan Sausage and Fall Vegetables

Sheet Pan Sausage and Fall Vegetables

One oven temp, so much goodness: Bratwursts sizzle and crisp, fingerling potatoes become burnished golden nuggets, and cabbage turns nutty and sweet. A final drizzle of brown butter and fried sage leaves ties the elements together.Sheet Pan Sausage and Fall Vegetables

Spiced Wine-Braised Short Ribs

Spiced Wine-Braised Short Ribs

Short ribs are a splurge, but the payoff is enormous-meltingly tender meat and big beef flavor in the mulled-wine-esque sauce. Serve with mashed potatoes or creamy polenta. If time allows, make this dish ahead; it's easier to skim the fat after it has chilled, and the flavor only gets better. Spiced Wine-Braised Short Ribs

Vanilla Apple Gratin

Chard Chimichurri

Chard Chimichurri

If you have a few chard leaves leftover from a recipe, this is a creative way to use them up. Chimichurri is pesto's bolder Argentinian cousin and tastes incredible with steak. But it's just as good with grilled chicken, pork and fish, or even eggs or baked potatoes.Chard Chimichurri

Thai-Style Chicken Curry with Basil and Jasmine Rice

Thai-Style Chicken Curry with Basil and Jasmine Rice

Because it calls for a full cup of fresh basil, this is a great dish to make in early fall, when the plants in your garden are huge and you're looking for ways to use them. This dish starts on the stove top but finishes out of the way in the oven, leaving just enough time to make rice for sopping up the creamy sauce. Thai-Style Chicken Curry with Basil and Jasmine Rice
