DASHI-BRAISED CHICKEN WITH ROOT VEGETABLES

Dashi, an enhanced kelp stock with rich umami flavor, is a staple component of Japanese cooking; it has the remarkable effect of accentuating the flavors of anything cooked in it. At the Los Angeles restaurant n/naka, chef Niki Nakayama uses it to braise chicken thighs and root vegetables for a hearty, comforting dish.

GEORGIAN EGG & CHEESE BREAD (KHACHAPURI)

Filled with melted cheese and topped with a runny egg, this flatbread is best eaten hot–tear off the crust and dunk it in the well of cheese and egg.

CHEESE AND PEPPER PASTA (CACIO E PEPE)

Less is more in an elemental Roman pasta dish which takes its spiciness from cracked black pepper toasted in oil.

LASAGNA BREAD (SCACCIA)

A street food popular in its native Ragusa, scaccia is an exercise in rustic simplicity: A pizza-style dough is rolled super-thin, smeared with tomato sauce, showered with D.O.P. caciocavallo cheese (similar to a spicy provolone), and folded into a lasagna-like loaf.

SKILLET ASPARAGUS

Cooking asparagus in the skillet concentrates its flavor rather than diluting it, as steaming or boiling can.

CHEWY INDIAN NAAN

Unlike some other staple Indian breads, which are unleavened and crafted from durum wheat flour, or atta, fluffy naan is made with all-purpose flour and yeast. Traditionally, the dough is slapped against the chimney wall of a clay tandoor oven and baked over wood fires, but many home cooks make it on the stovetop. It is best savored hot and slathered with ghee.
