10 Minute Meals

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
The New York Times calls food columnist Mark Bittman "The Minimalist," and rightly so: his most popular recent article featured 101 recipes that can be made with just a few ingredients in 10 minutes or less. Here are three to get you started:

Number 36: Fried egg “saltimbocca”: Lay slices of prosciutto or ham in a buttered skillet. Fry eggs on top of ham; top with grated Parmesan.

Number 54: Brown small pork (or hot dog) chunks in a skillet. Add white beans, garlic, thyme and olive oil. Or add white beans and ketchup.

Number 96: A Roman classic: In lots of olive oil, lightly cook lots of slivered garlic, with six or so anchovy fillets and a dried hot chili or two. Dress pasta with this.
