Same dinner, different fonts. Now is the time where tomatoes and basil are an everyday must. I live off of @davidlebovitz's Basil Vinaigrette, which is perfect tossed with pearl couscous and big shavings of parm, then served with crispy-skinned chicken thighs & lemony, capery burst tomatoes.

It's also the perfect dressing for a mountain of summer-sweet tomatoes and more basil on top of a spicy sesame chicken cutlet. What are you cooking with tomatoes and basil? taken in Oakland, California by @fromheadtotable

Who else is ready for tomato szn!?🙋🏾‍♀️ Start it off with this Melted Fennel and Tomato Pasta with Sausage and Lots of Olives. The fennel turns supple and sweet, the cherry tomatoes burst and become juicy pops of sunshine-y acidity, and a bit of olive brine perks the sauce up. It comes together in 30ish minutes and the leftovers—if you have any!—make a great next-day pasta frittata. Pop over to From Head to Table @substack for the FREE recipe or check your inbox if you're a newsletter subscriber 🫶🏾✨️

Small joys = dragging a caramelized, slumpy little piece of zucchini through whole lemon raita ✨️🥒🫘 Punctuated by lemon zest, chopped lemon, serrano pepper, and cilantro, this raita is summer's BFF—use in this recipe, ofc, but also pair with anything coming off the grill, to amp up rotisserie chicken, or as a base for other veggies like roasted potatoes, blistered snap peas, or green beans. Find the recipe for Caramelized Zucchini & Butter Beans with Whole Lemon Raita on the From Head to Table @substack or in your inbox if you're a newsletter subscriber!
