Tuesday: Pasta with Green Peas and Salmon
For a healthy dinner that’ll boost your energy level, choose this dish that can be made in no time with fish and short pasta. When the pasta is al dente, finish cooking it in the pan with sugar snap peas, green peas, cream and broth. Divide everything among shallow bowls and garnish with pieces of salmon. A useful recipe to keep up your sleeve for summer nights.
Wednesday: Veal Tenderloin and Vegetable Skewers
This recipe uses veal butt tenderloin, a practical option for weeknight dinners. As this cut of meat is already tender, you can afford to let it marinate for a shorter time. And to save even more time, garnish the skewers with cilantro leaves and crumbled feta instead of serving them with a sauce. Rice or a salad makes an excellent side dish for a complete, balanced meal that the whole family will love.
Thursday: Grilled Shrimp with Romaine Lettuce and Coconut Milk Dressing
Shrimp on the barbecue? That’s guaranteed smiles around the table on summer nights. Grill them with the shells on to maximize the flavour. Serve them with a fresh salad combining romaine lettuce, mango, onion and bean sprouts. A sprinkling of cilantro leaves adds the finishing touch. And a speedy coconut milk and citrus juice vinaigrette brings it all together. An easy and tasty meal, ready in just 30 minutes.
