This easy gratin starts with roasted cauliflower and sautéed leeks, then pairs with fontina cheese, cream, and fresh thyme. It's comforting and delicious, but beware, it's also rich. So don't eat the whole thing yourself!  

Serves 4 as a side

This little sauté is meant to be a topping for a Puffy Oven Pancake or a filling for tacos or burritos, but it could certainly make a fine side dish for two people.

A puffy pancake is basically a giant popover; fill it with sautéed vegetables and call it supper.

A big hearty frittata is nice, but a quick mini frittata packed with greens makes a fast, healthy supper.

A versatile baked pasta with a silky tomato-cream sauce is a crowd-pleaser.

A dish on Chef Richard Doucette’s menu at The Covington restaurant in Edgartown inspired this delicious pairing.

Everyone loves the twice-cooked potato phenomenon known as crispy smashed potatoes. Make a dip or a sauce to go with, or just eat them straight off the baking sheet.

A crush is like a hash, only better.
