Wednesday: Sun-Dried Tomato and Lemon Baked Fish
Ready to serve in less than 30 minutes, this white fish recipe is super convenient on busy weeknights. Cook the haddock fillets in the oven with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, sun-dried tomatoes, mint and lemon. Not only does this add spectacular flavours to the dish, but it also creates a lovely crispy texture. Serve this simple dish with lemon wedges and vegetables, like sautéed peas and artichokes.
Thursday: Ravioli with Kale Pesto
Classic pesto makes a great companion for cheese ravioli. This recipe rethinks the formula with a homemade version featuring kale leaves instead of the traditional basil. Prepare the mixture with grated Parmesan and walnuts instead of pine nuts. Add half of the cocktail bocconcini to the preparation. Keep the rest for garnish along with grilled eggplant and arugula. A quick and original dish.
