BAKED RICE WITH WHITE BEANS, LEEKS AND LEMON
Baking is a fail-safe, hands-off method for making perfect rice every time. Add roasted leeks, lemon peel, almonds and white beans, and it becomes a company-worthy vegetarian dinner inspired by prasorizo, the classic Greek rice-and-leek dish. Finished with Parmesan and fresh herbs, it's an excellent one-pan meal, but it would also be great served alongside grilled fish, shrimp or chicken. If you like, you can make it even more filling by adding other vegetables like tomatoes, zucchini or broccoli florets with the leeks and almonds, or stir in spinach, arugula or sliced snap peas after it comes out of the oven in Step 4. Omit the Parmesan and it's vegan, too.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Rinse the leeks until they're clean, then shake or pat dry. Using a vegetable peeler, peel 1-inch-thick strips of lemon zest, then cut the lemon in half. Cut one half into four wedges and reserve the other half.
- In a 9-by-13-inch baking pan, combine the leeks, lemon zest strips, almonds, red-pepper flakes and olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper, and arrange in an even layer. Roast until the leeks start to caramelize, about 20 minutes.
- Finely chop the lemon zest strips, then stir it back into the leek mixture and arrange in an even layer. Sprinkle the rice evenly over the leeks, then top with the beans and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the boiling water, then seal the pan tightly with foil. Bake until the rice is tender, 20 to 22 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Squeeze the lemon half over the rice, then stir in Parmesan and herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges, and more Parmesan and herbs, as desired.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil over a medium-sized, heavy skillet or saucepan, and add the leeks and carrots. Cook, stirring, until the leeks are tender and translucent and the carrots have softened slightly, about five minutes. Add the garlic and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until the garlic smells fragrant, about a minute. Add the rice and about 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir to coat the grains with olive oil. Add the water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer over low heat until the rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, and do not remove the cover for 10 minutes. Then stir in the lemon juice, and taste and adjust salt. Serve hot or warm.

Steps:
- Cook rice and bay leaf in a large pot of boiling salted water until some grains have burst and rice is tender, 45-55 minutes. Drain thoroughly and spread out rice on a rimmed baking sheet to cool; discard bay leaf.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F. Toast hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing halfway through, until slightly darkened and fragrant, 8-10 minutes. Let cool, then rub hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel to remove some of the skins. Gently crush nuts by pressing under the flat side of a chef's knife; set aside.
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-low. Cook onion and garlic, stirring often, until onion is golden, 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Whisk vinegar, maple syrup, and mustard in a large bowl until smooth. Scrape in onion mixture and cooled rice and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Fold in nearly all of the hazelnuts and cress, then transfer to a platter. Top with remaining hazelnuts and cress.
- Do Ahead
- Rice can be cooked 2 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Rice mixture (without hazelnuts and cress) can be made 3 hours ahead; store airtight at room temperature.
