Dinner ideas for slow evenings: dinner is the meal with time on its side. Slow braises like bœuf bourguignon, braised pork and eggs, and long-simmered stews all belong here — dishes that reward an unhurried evening and fill the house with aroma while they cook.
A good dinner recipe balances richness with something fresh: a salad, pickles, herbs or a sharp sauce. It is often the meal where the whole family sits down together, so the recipes below are written to serve generously and to reheat well the next day.
