Buttery Spaetzle with Roasted Cauliflower and Shallots
Smoky roasted cauliflower and nutty brown butter headline this satisfying vegetarian main course. Like tiny gnocchi, German spaetzle are delicious simply blanched but spring to a whole new level when crisped with butter in a pan. This recipe calls for store-bought dried spaetzle, which turn springy and chewy when cooked. Boiled then crisped in butter, they get a finishing lift from fresh dill and crushed red pepper.
Zeytinyağli Yaprak Sarmasi (Vegetarian Stuffed Grape Leaves)
From the Turkish region of Mugla, these tangy, tender vegetarian rice-and-herb-stuffed grape leaves (Zeytinyağli Yaprak Sarmasi) can be made a day ahead, making them a great appetizer for easy entertaining. The brightness of the brined grape leaves is balanced by the rice filling, which is seasoned with fresh parsley and dill and slightly sweet cooked onions. If making the stuffed grape leaves the day before, refrigerate them overnight and bring them to room temperature before serving.
Mushroom Ragù
Meaty mushrooms proudly stand in for meat in this vegetarian riff on the classic Italian meat sauce. Glantz uses a blend of locally sourced wild mushrooms here, but any mix of fresh mushrooms will do. However, be sure to seek out dried porcini mushrooms; after a quick soak in steaming hot water, they plump up and release their intense, heady flavor into the soaking liquid, which adds a rich depth to this sauce. For extra umami, toss in a Parmesan rind while the sauce cooks. It's a good practice to keep leftover Parmesan rinds in the freezer for just this purpose.
