While polenta is often associated with wintery comfort foods, SAVEUR contributing editor Farideh Sadeghin decided to make a quick summery version. Homemade chimichurri and a simple tomato-onion salad offset the richness of the creamy dish. Throw an egg or some scallops or skirt steak on top or serve the polenta as is—either way, it’s bound to be one of the best things you’ll eat all summer.

Yield: 4
Time: 30 minutes
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup polenta (about 6 oz.)
  • 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 2 Tbsp. crème fraîche
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 cup packed parsley leaves
  • ¾ cup packed cilantro leaves
  • ¼ cup packed fresh oregano leaves
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 jalapeño, stemmed, halved, and seeded
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup plus 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 12 oz. cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Make the polenta: To a medium pot, add the milk and 2 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Turn the heat to medium-low, add the polenta, and cook, stirring frequently, until thick and creamy, 8–10 minutes. Add the butter and crème fraîche and season to taste with salt. Set aside and keep warm.
  2. Make the chimichurri: To a food processor, add the parsley, cilantro, oregano, vinegar, garlic, and jalapeño. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. With the machine running, drizzle in ½ cup of the oil until the mixture becomes a creamy yet slightly coarse sauce. Transfer the chimichurri to a medium bowl and set aside.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, toss together the tomatoes, red onion, and remaining oil. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  4. Divide the polenta among four shallow bowls or plates, top with tomato salad, drizzle with chimichurri, and serve.

Gullah Geechee chef Charlotte Jenkins served this fruity, potent punch at her niece’s wedding, along with shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, roast beef, string beans, Gullah rice, and buttermilk biscuits. In her cookbook, Gullah Cuisine, Jenkins credits the recipe to her daughter Kesha, who dubbed it “sweetgrass wedding punch” because the color of the finished drink reminded her of the reddish stems of fresh sweetgrass.

Adapted from Gullah Cuisine: By Land and By Sea by Charlotte Jenkins. Copyright © 2010. Available from Evening Post Books.

Featured in “Chef Charlotte Jenkins Is Spreading the Gospel of Gullah Cuisine” by Amethyst Ganaway.

Yield: 2½ gallons
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 6 cups pineapple juice
  • ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice (from 3 lemons)
  • 2 cups moonshine or corn liquor
  • ½ canister Kool-Aid (9.5 oz.), any flavor
  • Pineapple slices, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. To a large pot, add the sugar and 8 cups of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the pineapple and lemon juices, moonshine, and Kool-Aid, and mix well. Refrigerate until chilled.
  2. Serve in glasses over ice, garnished with pineapple slices if desired.

This appetizer plays with cucumber‘s crunchy appeal by coating slices with a spicy cornmeal crust and frying them up until piping hot. A cool green goddess-style dip squelches the heat.

Yield: 8–12
Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the dip:

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp. milk
  • 2 Tbsp. grated yellow onion
  • 1 Tbsp. finely chopped chives
  • 1 Tbsp. finely chopped parsley
  • 1 Tbsp. finely chopped tarragon
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, mashed to a paste with 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the cucumbers:

  • Vegetable oil
  • 2 cups cornmeal
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp. celery salt
  • 1½ tsp. kosher salt, plus more
  • 1½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1½ tsp. garlic powder
  • 1½ tsp. onion powder
  • 1½ tsp. sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1½ lb. Kirby cucumbers, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 3 by ½-in. sticks

Instructions

  1. Make the dip: In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, onion, chives, parsley, tarragon, lemon juice, and garlic. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Cover the bowl and refrigerate.
  2. Fry the cucumbers: Into a large pot fitted with a deep-fry thermometer, pour 2 inches of oil and turn the heat to medium-high. While the oil heats, in a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, celery salt, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne. Add the cucumbers and toss to coat, shaking off any excess. When the temperature reads 375°F, working in batches, add the cucumbers and fry, turning once or twice, until crisp and golden brown, about 2 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried cucumbers to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot with the reserved dip.

  • 1 cantaloupe (about 3 lb.)
  • ¼ cup sugar, plus more to taste
  • Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

Ripe tomatoes develop umami-rich flavor when grilled with a garlic, soy sauce, and yuzu kosho marinade. This recipe calls for red yuzu kosho, which is made from the Japanese citrus yuzu, red chiles, and salt—just a spoonful adds subtle heat and bright fragrance to the marinade. Mitsuba, a Japanese relative of parsley, lends a mild cilantro-like freshness. Serve this simple summer side dish alongside a juicy steak, such as chef and cookbook author Tadashi Ono’s Grilled Porterhouse with Garlic and Miso.

Adapted from “The Japanese Grill” by Tadashi Ono and Harris Salat. Copyright © 2011. Available from Ten Speed Press.

Featured in “The Japanese Grill.”

Yield: 6–8
Time: 30 minutes
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. red yuzu kosho
  • 1 tsp. ground sansho pepper
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 4 medium tomatoes, cored and halved crosswise
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped mitsuba, parsley, or cilantro

Instructions

  1. In a 9- by 13-inch baking dish, whisk together the oil, soy sauce, yuzu kosho, sansho pepper, salt, and garlic. Add the tomatoes and toss to coat, then arrange cut side down in the dish. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high, then bank the coals or turn off the burner on one side. Add the tomatoes cut side down to the hottest part of the grill, reserving the marinade, and cook until slightly charred, 2–4 minutes. Using tongs, flip the tomatoes, then spoon the reserved marinade over the tops and continue grilling without flipping until the tomatoes are slightly caramelized, 6–8 minutes. Garnish with mitsuba and serve.

This sedano e pomodori brasati (braised celery and tomato) recipe, adapted from celebrated Italian cookbook author Marcella Hazan, produces results that are surprising from celery: creamy, sweet, luscious. The stalks’ stringy fibers, often removed before cooking, here act as a brace that helps the vegetable keep its shape through a long simmer.

Adapted from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking by Marcella Hazan. Copyright © 1992. Available from Alfred A. Knopf.

Featured in “The Soft Approach: In Praise of Soft-Cooked Vegetables” by Lesley Porcelli.

Yield: 4–6
Time: 2 hours
  • 3 oz. pancetta, cut into 1-in. pieces
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 bunches celery (about 2 lb.), stalks trimmed and cut on the bias into 2-in. pieces
  • ¾ cup whole peeled canned tomatoes with their juices, crushed by hand
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. To a large pot over medium-high heat, add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat renders, about 12 minutes. (If the pancetta begins to brown too fast, turn the heat to medium-low.) Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside to drain.
  2. Return the pot to medium-high heat and add the oil. When it’s hot and shimmering, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and light brown, about 10 minutes. Add the celery, tomatoes, and ¼ cup of water and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Cover the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the celery is very tender, about 1½ hours.
  3. Transfer the celery with its juices to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the reserved pancetta. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Tinto de verano, which translates to “red wine of summer,” is a surprising combination of red wine and lemon-lime soda. This cooling spritzer is a perfect refreshment for hot summer days. If a lightly sweetened lemon-lime soda like lemon Fanta or Spain’s La Casera (known locally as “gaseosa” or soda) can’t be found, you can substitute Squirt or 7Up cut with a splash of plain seltzer.

Yield: 1 cocktail
Time: 5 minutes
  • ¾ cup red wine, preferably Spanish, such as rioja
  • ¾ cup lightly sweetened lemon-lime soda
  • 1 lemon or orange wedge, for garnish
  • Seltzer (optional)

Instructions

  1. To a glass filled halfway with ice, add the red wine and soda. Garnish with a lemon wedge. If the drink is too sweet, add a splash of seltzer.

Heirloom Tomato and Stone Fruit Salad with Garlicky Croutons

This summer salad is a testament to the fact that the best things in life are worth waiting for—among them juicy, ripe seasonal produce. Inspired by a conversation with Alice Waters, as well as the Heirloom and Cherry Tomato Salad from her 1999 Chez Panisse Café Cookbook, this recipe also takes advantage of another fleeting summer staple—stone fruit, including peaches, nectarines, apricots, and plums. A heap of craggy, garlicky croutons is also added to soak up the sweet-and-savory juices, a tip taken from Waters’ 1996 Chez Panisse Vegetables book. Visit your local farmers market (or better yet, your home garden) to source the ripest fruits, and savor the process of selecting them; this might be your one chance until next year. Even small fruits should be sliced in half so their interiors can be exposed and their juices released. It’s best served as soon as it’s prepared so the croutons stay crunchy and the fruits don’t get mushy, but if you’d like to prepare this an hour or two in advance, refrain from adding the croutons until just before serving.

Featured in “Why Alice Waters Believes Gardening Can Save Our Democracy.”

Yield: 4
Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

For the croutons:

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped (2 tsp.)
  • 8 oz. day-old sourdough bread, torn into 1-in. pieces

For the salad:

  • 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar, plus more as needed
  • 1 medium garlic clove, finely chopped (1 tsp.)
  • 1 medium shallot, finely chopped (¼ cup)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup basil leaves, torn into small pieces
  • 1 cup mixed heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 lb. mixed medium-to-large heirloom tomatoes, cored and cut into ½-in. wedges
  • 1 lb. mixed stone fruits (peaches, nectarines, apricots, or plums), pitted and cut into ½-in. wedges

Instructions

  1. Make the croutons: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic. Add the bread and toss until evenly coated. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake, tossing halfway through, until the croutons are golden brown and crunchy, 8–10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  2. Meanwhile, make the salad: To a large bowl, add the vinegar, garlic, and shallot. Season lightly with salt and black pepper, then slowly whisk in the oil until well incorporated. Adjust the seasoning to taste with more vinegar, salt, or black pepper if needed. Add the basil, cherry and heirloom tomatoes, stone fruits, and croutons and toss very gently, being careful not to bruise the fruits. Transfer to a shallow bowl or platter and serve immediately.
