Toasting the orzo before adding the broth adds another layer of flavor. Another dark leafy green like chopped kale or Swiss chard can stand in for the spinach, but may take longer to wilt in the pan. If you use a sturdier green, add it to the pan during the last 5 minutes of cooking time.View Recipe

13of 24Sun-Dried Tomato VinaigrettePhotographer / Brie Passano Styling / Annie Probst / Holly RaibikisThis thick vinaigrette gets umami from the ultra-concentrated flavor of sun-dried tomatoes and is a luscious lip-smacker of a dressing. Rather than drizzling it on salad, place your greens in a chilled bowl and toss with the vinaigrette until the leaves are coated, using tongs or your hand. Then, finish with your garnishes: pine nuts, cucumbers, onions, croutons, grated cheese, etc. This hearty vinaigrette works well with sturdy greens or in a pasta salad. It would also be delicious spooned on top of salmon fillets.View Recipe

You’ll inevitably have large and smaller “steaks” cut from the head. Place the large cabbage steaks on the outside edges of the baking sheet, with the smaller ones toward the center. The edges of the baking sheet are the hottest, so larger steaks will benefit from the extra heat. Roast any extra cabbage separately or store and save for another use.View Recipe
