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.
