  1/4 cup chopped, plus more for serving $1.89
• Extra-virgin olive oil

  2 tablespoons
• Crushed red pepper flakes

  1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
• Kosher salt

  as needed
• Black pepper

  as needed

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry; slice the yellow squash into thin half-moons; mince the garlic; chop the parsley; and zest and juice the lemon.
2. Cook the linguine until just shy of al dente according to the package directions, about 8–10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
3. While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the squash, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until golden but still firm, 4–5 minutes; transfer to a plate.
4. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the shrimp, season lightly with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 1 minute per side. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
5. Add the linguine, squash, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/2 cup reserved pasta water. Toss over medium heat for 1–2 minutes until the sauce lightly coats the noodles and the shrimp are opaque and cooked through; add more pasta water if needed.
6. Remove from the heat and fold in the chopped parsley. Taste for salt, pepper, lemon, and chile, then twirl into two shallow bowls and finish with extra parsley.

Instructions

1. Pat the lamb dry. Combine the cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper, then rub the mixture over the chops. Slice the eggplants lengthwise into 1/2-inch planks, mince the shallot and garlic, zest and juice the lemon, and crush the saffron into 1 tablespoon hot water.
2. Rinse the rice until the water is mostly clear. Combine it in a small saucepan with the saffron water, 1 cup fresh water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes; remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
3. While the rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Season the eggplant with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and sear in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, adding the remaining oil as needed, until deeply browned and tender; transfer to a warm platter.
4. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Pan-sear the lamb for 3–4 minutes per side, including the fatty edges, until browned and the centers reach 145°F. Transfer the chops to a plate and rest for at least 5 minutes.
5. Lower the heat to medium and add the shallot to the same skillet; cook for 1 minute. Stir in the garlic, blueberries, honey, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons water. Cook for 3–4 minutes, gently crushing about half the berries, until glossy and lightly thickened; remove from the heat and swirl in the butter and half the mint.
6. Fluff the saffron rice with the lemon zest and remaining chopped mint. Taste the blueberry sauce and adjust with salt or lemon juice—it should be savory, fragrant, and pleasantly tart.
7. Spoon the saffron rice onto two plates, arrange the charred eggplant and lamb chops alongside, and finish the lamb with the blueberry pan sauce and fresh mint leaves.

6. Slice the tri-tip thinly against the grain. Plate it with the grilled potatoes and dressed tomatoes, then spoon the remaining basil vinaigrette over the beef.
