We just published our 50 most popular new recipes of 2024, the bangers of New York Times Cooking. Simplicity shines on this list, because simplicity always shines in home cooking — the promise of a recipe that is more magic than chemistry, greater than the sum of its stewed, seared or sautéed parts.

But if you want really simple, take a look at these recipes, two dozen of our best, all calling for no more than seven ingredients. It’s an elite group that includes the famed roast chicken from Zuni Café in San Francisco, creamy five-minute hummus, punchy Vietnamese American garlic noodles and the chicken with fish-sauce butter below.

Fish-sauce butter: a stroke of brilliance from Eric Kim, and a very easy way to make sizzling chicken thighs even better. The croutons in this dish are a great touch, but just about any carb you’ve got will shine soaked in that sauce.

This ultrasimple recipe from Ali Slagle is begging for a stack of warm tortillas and a beer. Other possible accessories: tortilla chips, fried eggs, sour cream, cilantro, scallions, lime.

The turmeric in Jamaican curry powder is what gives the spice blend — and this dinner from Millie Peartree — its golden look. Millie’s recipe, with garlic, ginger and a heap of sautéed bell peppers in a coconut milk sauce, is exactly what I want to eat tonight.

You could just brown some ground beef and stir it into marinara and have a fast meat sauce — but not a great meat sauce. For something infinitely better in a comparable amount of time, try this recipe from Ali Slagle, who uses pork sausage, tomato paste and garlic for a dinner with deeper flavor.

I’m issuing my annual reminder that latkes can be dinner. Serve them with smoked salmon and a sour cream schmear, fried or poached eggs or, with a little extra work, crispy chicken thighs. I celebrate all latkes, but Melissa Clark’s recipe is my favorite.
