What to Cook This Weekend

Good morning. The Kentucky Derby is scheduled to run on Saturday, 6:57 p.m. Eastern time at Churchill Downs in Louisville. (I’m no handicapper, but you know my money’s on Soup and Sandwich !)

Naturally, you’ll want to drink a mint julep as you watch, if you’re watching, but I’m more interested in the meal that could follow: Hot Browns , maybe, or some pimento cheese and deviled eggs . You could fill endive spears with Benedictine , follow with fried chicken — or, if you happen to be outside, with fried chicken biscuits (above). And fudgy bourbon balls for dessert? I think so, yes.

That’s Saturday night, for some. Others may prefer this terrific recipe for chicken katsu , with a simple tonkatsu sauce that you can use for loads of other recipes. (It’s great on karaage , Japanese fried chicken. It’s great on plain rice!) Or you could make adasi , a Persian dish of simmered lentils that’s often eaten for breakfast in Iran, but that combines beautifully with a hard-boiled egg at lunch or dinner. And there’s always spring tofu soup . That’s a fabulous weekend meal.

Whatever you make, I think it’d be great if you could get these slow-cooker steel-cut oats going before you pad off to watch a screen before bed. It’s a great way to wake up to perfectly cooked oatmeal, fuel for a day in the kitchen in advance of the week to come.
