Recipe Roundup: Cooking for a Crowd
It's been two weeks since Hurricane Sandy touched down in New York and New Jersey, but many of the hardest hit communities are still reeling. For those of us who live nearby and want to help, providing food to those without power or running water is a great way to get involved. Most FEMA and community-organized relief sites will accept donations of homemade food, and hot meals are particularly appreciated. Here are a few of the recipes we turn to when cooking for a crowd:
Baked Orzo with Eggplant and Mozzarella [Smitten Kitchen]
Adapted from a recipe by vegetable maestro Yotam Ottolenghi, this hearty yet not-too-heavy baked pasta is perked up with a pinch of lemon zest and pillowy bites of fried eggplant. Canned tomatoes can be substituted for fresh when out of season.

Lunch: It's Not Just for Kids
It’s back-to-school time, but you don’t have to be a kid to appreciate a good brown-bag lunch. Here are some decidedly grown-up meals we’d trade for any day:
Stilton Ploughman's Lunch with Port-Poached Pear Relish [JBF]
Like a Lunchables package...except with Stilton and a spicy relish of Comice pears poached in Port. To brown-bag it, choose a country loaf or a hunk of ciabatta in place of the baguette and pack the relish in a separate container.
Miso-Marinated Pork Bento [Just Bento]
Who wouldn't love sitting down to a lovely bento box filled with miso-marinated pork, Japanese omelet, sautéed greens, and brown rice? Carrot and zucchini flower cut-outs are strictly optional, but we think they... Read more >
Recipe: Braised Pork Cheeks with Three-Onion Ragoût
This allium-abundant recipe from Sondra Bernstein, who cooks "country food with a French passion" at the girl + the fig in Sonoma, features a decadent ragoût made with a trio of onions. Bernstein roasts sweet and cipollini onions to deepen and focus their flavor, creating a rich accessory for the centerpiece of luscious braised pork cheeks. Red pearl onions are quickly blanched to preserve their zesty freshness, which brings a welcome bit of bite to the dish. Get the recipe here.
