Tuesday: Fish Soup with Tomato and Fennel
A good way of getting people to eat fish, especially those who don’t like it very much, is to serve it as a hearty soup. Choose a white-fleshed variety and add it to a broth that marries the tangy taste of tomato with the aniseed flavour of fennel. Garnish each bowl with fennel fronds, lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with a piece of toasted bread.
Wednesday: American Spaghettini Carbonara
With its short list of ingredients, and speedy preparation and cooking time that don’t exceed 10 minutes each, this dinner idea will delight several people on busy nights. Cook the pasta and bacon, then add them to a mixture of eggs, cream and Parmesan. Simple, efficient and savoury!
Thursday: Chicken-Cauliflower Gratin with Kale and Blue Cheese
Two strong cheeses, Comté and Blue, have the spotlight in this recipe. Spread chicken breasts with a mixture of cauliflower and hazelnuts, then top with the Comté, a cheese variety from the Gruyère family, before putting everything in the oven. Serve this original dish full of character with kale browned under the grill.
