Sheet pan dinner is the move when you do not have a lot of time. Tom drizzles a pan with olive oil, adds gnocchi, whatever vegetables need using up, and seasoned pork rolled into quick meatballs. A little of our Lemon Pressato olive oil, kosher salt, pepper, and a toss so everything roasts evenly. Halfway through, cherry tomatoes go in. Out of the oven, the whole thing gets a drizzle of the toasted coriander honey vinaigrette from earlier this week, stirred through right before plating. One pan, one weeknight, almost no cleanup. Full recipe on the blog. Come in curious. Leave inspired.

Coriander is the seed of the cilantro plant, and toasted it turns citrusy and floral, closer to orange peel than anything green. That is the flavor this vinaigrette is built on. We pair it with our Lemon Pressato Olive Oil, which leans into the citrus instead of fighting it, and champagne vinegar for a clean, bright acidity that keeps the honey from tipping it too sweet. Make a batch on Sunday and it keeps all week, turning salads, grain bowls, and roasted vegetables into something you look forward to. Full recipe on the blog. Come in curious. Leave inspired.

If cilantro tastes like soap to you, coriander seed is a different story. Toasted, it's citrusy and floral, and it's the thread running through three house blends and a vinaigrette worth batching on a Sunday. Come in curious. Leave inspired.

Meet coriander, the dried seed of the cilantro plant and one of the oldest spices in the world. It was found in King Tut's tomb, and the ancient Egyptians called it something close to the spice of happiness. Toasted, it turns warm, citrusy, and a little nutty, closer to orange peel than anything green. And if cilantro leaf tastes like soap to you, the seed is a different story. Its main flavor compound is linalool, not the soapy aldehydes in the leaf, which is why most cilantro-averse cooks love it. This month it runs through three of our house blends: baharat, a pickling spice, and a bratwurst and kraut seasoning. Come in and try them.

Ginger scallion sauce is one of the simplest things you can make and one of the most useful to have in the fridge. Roughly chop green onion, grate in a k**b of ginger, and add a couple teaspoons of salt to a heatproof bowl. Heat grapeseed oil until it shimmers, then pour it straight over the top so everything sizzles and blooms. Finish with toasted sesame oil and a splash of our sherry vinegar, stir, and it is done. Spoon it over rice, noodles, eggs, grilled chicken, or roasted vegetables. The grapeseed oil, sesame oil, and sherry vinegar are all on our shelf.

That tuft of deep red along the highway is sumac, the same spice we have been cooking with all month. Staghorn and smooth sumac grow wild across Minnesota, lining roadsides and woodland edges right now. Indigenous communities here have used the berries for generations, steeped into a tart drink and dried into a seasoning long before it ever reached a spice jar. It is tangy, a little fruity, and does what lemon does without the bitterness. Next time you spot it on a drive, you will know exactly what you are looking at. Ours is on the shelf, ground and ready.

A good vinaigrette is the most useful thing you can make on a Sunday. This one starts with coriander seed, toasted in a dry pan until it smells like warm citrus, then ground and whisked with our Lemon olive oil, champagne vinegar, and a little honey. Bright, nutty, and barely any work. Make a jar at the start of the week and it dresses salads, grain bowls, and roasted vegetables straight through to Friday. The full recipe is on the blog now, and it leads our newsletter this Thursday. Come in curious. Leave inspired.

Quick pickled onions are the easiest way to make a plate taste finished, and sumac is what sets ours apart. Thinly slice a red onion, salt it, and cover with vinegar. Stir in a heavy pinch of sumac and give it twenty minutes on the counter. What you get is bright, tangy, and an incredible ruby-pink, with a tartness plain vinegar cannot reach on its own. Pile them on shawarma, grain bowls, tacos, or a cheese board. They keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks. Cook like you mean it.

Make Sumac Pickled Onions with Chef Albert!

Sumac pickled onions are a simple way to add bold flavor and vibrant color to your meals.

This recipe combines sumac, Aleppo pepper flakes, red wine vinegar, sugar, and a few simple ingredients. The key step? Massaging the salt into the onions to help them sweat before adding the spices and vinegar.

Let them sit for about 30 minutes, then transfer them to a jar and enjoy.

Both sumac and Aleppo pepper flakes are available at Curiouser, so stop by and pick some up for your next kitchen experiment.
