December 11 to 15, 2023: What to Cook This Week

Baking sheets and the oven are your friends this week to make simple and efficient meals. A vegetarian sandwich, a meat dish, a salad and couscous: Our selection satisfies all tastes!

Monday: Chickpea Pita Sandwiches

These vegetarian sandwiches are perfect for busy Monday evenings. Make them with pita bread slathered with a lemony yogurt sauce. Then fill them with the garnishes, including spiced chickpeas, tomato and lettuce. The recipe is ready in just 30 minutes and is just as delicious for lunch the following day.

Tuesday: Pork Tenderloin with Caramelized Cauliflower

We all love pork because it’s super versatile and cooks fast in the oven. For this recipe, caramelize mushrooms and cauliflower in a skillet, and enhance their flavour with shallot and herbs. To serve, slice the meat and place it with the vegetables on a bed of arugula. Drizzle the homemade dressing all over. This is a dish you’ll want to add to your collection of weekday recipes.

Wednesday: Grilled Gnocchi Carbonara

More efficiency, less dishwashing: two advantages to this sheet pan meal. This recipe requires you to bake the gnocchi, pancetta and onion in the oven until golden brown. Divide all the ingredients among shallow bowls, forming a little nest in the middle to lay an egg yolk. This generous meal should delight the whole family.

Thursday: Arugula, Trout and Yellow Beet salad

Putting the spotlight on trout, this recipe adds some brightness to your weekly routine. Cook the fish in the oven, coated in a honey-mustard sauce. Serve it as a garnish on top of a speedy salad made with arugula, precooked beets, celery and cranberries. Mustard dressing brings the finishing touch.

Friday: Hearty Vegetable and Apricot Couscous

Make this comforting vegetarian dish by pulling ingredients from your pantry, including couscous, canned chickpeas and dried apricots. The dish also includes vegetables cooked in broth with harissa. You can add grilled merguez sausages for an even more satisfying meal for meat lovers.
