T-Minus 25 Minutes to Happiness

Credit: Photo: Andrew Purcell
View Recipe: Roasted Pork Tenderloin Tacos

In this life, time is an invaluable commodity. You want delicious, but you need fast. To that end, we've created an assortment of dishes—Mexican, Asian, Italian, comfort food, and vegetarian—that marry the ideals of fast and delicious. Enjoy these recipes that take 25 minutes or less.

Our first offering are Roasted Pork Tenderloin Tacos. Thick and slightly tangy Mexican crema adds a cooling finish to these tacos. Make the tortillas extra-delicious by lightly charring them over a gas burner. No gas? Quickly sear directly on an electric coil (work fast) or in a hot cast-iron skillet.

Apricot-Basil Chicken With Freekeh

Credit: Photo: Jennifer Causey
View Recipe: Apricot-Basil Chicken With Freekeh

Freekeh is an ancient variety of wheat that is harvested while green and then roasted for a fantastically nutty, smoky flavor. Package directions call for simmering on low for up to 25 minutes, but here it's cooked a little more quickly by raising the temperature to medium. Substitute couscous, quinoa, or rice if you can't find freekeh. If you can find fresh apricots, swap them in for dried, increasing the amount to 1 cup.

Our gumbo-style soup removes the roux step (saving as much as an hour) and instead uses aromatics sautéed with tomato paste for a toasty flavor foundation. Serve with a crusty baguette for mopping up every last delicious drop.

Sweet shrimp is ideal for spicy dishes like this. If you want just a light lick of heat, use ¼ teaspoon red pepper. If you prefer more fire, go for ½ teaspoon (or more).

Shredded chicken verde enchiladas are a sure-fire winner at the dinner table. Expedite the chicken shredding by inserting two forks into the meat while it is still warm, then pull apart to shred.

Crispy Vegetable Quesadillas

Credit: Photo: Andrew Purcell
View Recipe: Crispy Vegetable Quesadillas

A sparing amount of cooking spray is key to perfectly crisp quesadillas—too much and the fat absorbs into the tortilla. Plus, spreading mashed beans onto each tortilla forms a protective layer that keeps the veggie juices contained (and the tortillas crisp).

Pork, Bean, and Escarole Soup

Credit: Photo: Jennifer Causey
View Recipe: Pork, Bean, and Escarole Soup
This filling soup is Mediterranean inspired. Escarole is less bitter than other members of the endive family, with hearty leaves similar to kale or chard, which you can sub here. Use just the leaves for this soup. Mashing some of the beans lends the broth more body. For even deeper flavor, try sautéing the tomato paste with the onion and garlic, stirring frequently. This lightly caramelizes the pasta and gives the dish greater complexity. A drizzle of top-quality extra-virgin olive oil over each serving would also be a nice touch, enhancing the richness of the soup and adding tantalizing aroma.

Pork and Asparagus Stir-Fry

Credit: Photo: Jennifer Causey
View Recipe: Pork and Asparagus Stir-Fry
Stir-frying is a great technique for a lean, tender meat like pork tenderloin, because you can cook it quickly without drying it out. The velveting technique—coating the pork in a cornstarch slurry—helps keep the meat supple while it cooks over high heat. Sake, or rice wine, is fragrant and slightly sweet, a perfect addition to this simple spring stir-fry. You can also use dry sherry wine or a small splash of sherry vinegar. If using larger asparagus, cut lengthwise into slices. The key to stir-fry success is to have all your ingredients measured, prepped, and at the ready. The stir-frying process moves fast, so it's critical that you're able to add ingredients quickly to the pan to avoid scorching.

Timing on this recipe is important, so have your bacon cooked and eggs ready when the pasta is done. Do not let the pasta drain completely; for the creamiest sauce, you want a little of the water still clinging to the noodles when you add them to the eggs.

Perfect Pork Tenderloin

Credit: Photo: Jennifer Causey
View Recipe: Vietnamese-Style Pork Noodle Salad

Think of this refreshing salad as a deconstructed spring roll: cool rice noodles, crisp vegetables, and a sweet-and-spicy vinaigrette instead of a dipping sauce. Top it all off with savory stir-fried pork. Look for brown rice noodles on the Asian foods aisle of your supermarket or in your local Asian market. We love that they offer up whole-grain goodness, and, once cooked, they’re pretty much indistinguishable from white rice noodles. If you're unfamiliar with fish sauce, you'll find it on the Asian foods aisle, too. We find it to be indispensable in the kitchen, lending savory depth to all kinds of dishes; try a splash in meatloaf or burgers; guacamole; meat or chicken marinades; or spaghetti sauce.

Caribbean Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Grilled Pineapple Salsa

View Recipe: Caribbean Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Grilled Pineapple Salsa

We cut the tenderloin in half before grilling for a nicely charred crust and a juicy inside in half the time. Traditionally, jerk seasoning is meant to be spicy, but we found the heat to be moderate and not overwhelming in this dish. Fresno chiles look like red jalapeños, and are slightly milder than green jalapeños. The grilled pineapple salsa is a fantastic accompaniment for the pork, well balanced between sweet pineapple, tart lime, pungent onion, and fragrant cilantro. The salsa would also work well with grilled chicken or fish. Serve with ice cold Red Stripe Jamaican lager for a full-on island meal experience.

We call it spring succotash, but the frozen edamame really makes this dish a year-round option. A buttery white wine sauce is the perfect match for tender sweet carrots and nutty edamame—a quick and easy combination that would also work beautifully with simply grilled fish or chicken. Most succotash recipes feature corn; here, we sub in fiber- and protein-packed edamame. Sometimes life just calls for more green.
