Grilled Zucchini with Garlic and Dill

If you’re grilling this weekend, throw some zucchini on too—they’ll get charred and snappy, then covered in a zippy, dilly dressing, and will have everyone at the barbecue rethinking their stance on zucchini.

Matzo Ball Soup

If you’re celebrating Hanukkah (or just looking to fight off a winter cold) you can’t beat the classic. This soup has all the best things: light, fluffy matzo balls, an intense amount of celery, and #lotsofdill

Peppered Carrots and Dill

These are basic on purpose, and add a nice peppery freshness to an otherwise rich meal.

Leafy Herb Salad

This salad is more an idea than a recipe. Perfectly paired with big meals.

Buttered Salmon with Red Onion, Capers and Dill

To serve the salmon, I just use a large spoon and scoop out large hunks of it (as in, no need to “slice” or cut into even portions). The more rustic and wild, the better.

Highly Seasoned Cucumber Salad

If you like pickles, you'll love this salad, which is almost acidic enough to count as a pickle.

Lemony Chicken Soup With Fennel and Dill

Lighter than traditional stew, this lemony chicken number relies on potatoes to thicken it, rather than flour or another starch. If you can, buy fennel with the stem and fronds intact so you can take full advantage of every part of the vegetable.

Creamy Farro With Crispy Mushrooms and Sour Cream

Similar in texture to a risotto (without the constant stirring), this creamy, saucy farro is about half the work, with almost no technique required. While the porridge like texture is a delight all on its own, the meaty, golden brown mushrooms and frizzled leeks are the real reason you are here.

Crushed Baby Potatoes With Sardines, Celery, and Dill

Boiled potatoes are great to keep on hand for out-of-hand snacking and as a quick addition to things like a skillet full of chicken fat or a midday lunch salad, but also excellent as a foil for rich, fatty, tinned fish.
