Looking for a few tasty and delicious dinner ideas? We’ve got you covered! Check out these five weeknight recipes to try, from a vegetarian mezze platter to a simple grilled steak with veggies. You’ll want to add these to your meal rotation all summer long!

Monday: Mezze-Style Tofu with Onion Confit

Yes, mezzes are typically an appetizer platter, but we say they can also make a great and plentiful meal. This plate is loaded with onion-confit-tossed tofu, roasted cauliflower, cucumber, avocado, hummus, tabbouleh and marinated red bell peppers. It’s a simple meal that comes together quickly when you just want to take it easy on a Monday evening.

Tuesday: Chicken Drumsticks with Fennel and Olive Salad

For a quick and easy weeknight dinner, bet on these chicken drumsticks coated in a simple marinade with intense curry, cinnamon and allspice flavour. Cook them on the grill and serve with a refreshing and flavourful fennel, cucumber and black olive salad.

Wednesday: Grilled Flap Steak with Broccoli and Bell Peppers

Steak is a quick and easy option to cook on the grill on a busy weeknight. Serve alongside roasted bell peppers and broccoli, and you’ve got the perfect dish that’ll break the routine.

Thursday: Tuna and Pineapple Poke Bowl

Tonight, assemble the king of all power bowls: poke! Pineapple replaces the traditional mango, and roasted cashews marry well with the flavour of hoisin sauce, a key ingredient in the tuna’s marinade. Add basil and serrano chili pepper for a touch of originality!

Friday: Warm Couscous Salad with Green Beans and Merguez Skewers

Light, tasty, healthful, colourful…what could be better on a Friday night during summer? Be sure to enjoy this platter of merguez, couscous and bright veggies al fresco to start the weekend off on the right foot.
