Good morning. Father’s Day, first day of summer, Bieber on the car radio as neighbors cruise to the beach: It’d be a nice one to cook outside if you can, or to pretend that you’re cooking outside if you can’t. I like these thin-cut, jalapeño-marinated grilled pork chops (above) for the menu, with their vegetal zing and cilantro thrum, topped with a red onion relish. Maybe some mango slaw on the side? That’d be nice.
Of course, you might feel the same way about a pizza from your favorite place, a can of cold beer or glass of lemonade, some Mr. Frosty on the stoop afterward. You don’t have to cook your own food to feel the pleasures of the season. But I think it helps. I think it grounds us. I think cooking regularly, especially after more than a year of cooking regularly, is a good habit to keep.
So make those pork chops or whatever you’d like, and on Monday maybe you could end your day with an orzo salad with peppers and feta , a kind of Basque piperade over the pasta, even better at room temperature than hot from the stove. Make it early in the evening and eat it later on, when the sun has dipped.
For Tuesday’s meal, how about black pepper chicken thighs with mango, rum and cashews ? Excellent with rice!
