Your Next Weeknight Meal Plan (And Weekend Cooking Project!)

What to Cook Next Week No Images? Click here   After a busy day, the last thing you want to do is spend hours in the kitchen pulling dinner together. Luckily, we have a wealth of delicious weeknight meals that will have you in and out of the kitchen in one hour or less. Meet our weekly dinner plan: Five easy dinners for five busy weeknights, all sent in advance so you can get your shopping done ahead of time. Cook along with us!   Your Week Ahead MONDAY Turkish-Style Tofu Scramble (Vegan Menemen)  Soft tofu is an excellent stand-in for softly scrambled eggs in this traditional Turkish dish. It takes on the strong flavors of olive oil, onions, hot chilies, and, when served with bread and some olives, is an excellent breakfast-for-dinner dish for vegans and meat-eaters alike.   TUESDAY Peanut, Sweet Potato, and Kale Soup With Coconut This soup takes the traditional West African groundnut soup and takes it to Thailand with coconut milk and cilantro. It's everything you want in a body-warming dinner. WEDNESDAY Creamy Garlic Chicken Spanakopita Skillet Cozy up to this filling Greek-inspired dish, which turns traditional spanakopita, made with feta, spinach, dill, and scallions, into a one-skillet meal with the addition of chicken and a garlicky gravy. THURSDAY Chicken Marsala With Mushrooms and Shallots Quick and easy, this chicken Marsala is packed with flavor, thanks to Marsala wine, sautéed mushrooms, shallots, and garlic. The secret to this version is to slip extra gelatin into the chicken stock—which helps give the sauce a glaze-like consistency that's just like the best restaurant pan sauces. FRIDAY Mini Pineapple-Teriyaki-Glazed Salmon Burgers With Avocado These miniature salmon burgers are proof that big flavors come in small packages. Fresh salmon in a pineapple-teriyaki glaze, seared pineapple slices, lightly mashed avocado, and peppery watercress make them the perfect sweet and savory sandwiches.     Your Weekend Project Ah, the weekend. Visions of time-consuming kitchen endeavors dancing in your head all week long, and finally you have the time to pursue them. But which one to choose? Let us help you guide your efforts with what we're taking on over the weekend.  Roasted Pumpkin Seeds If you're carving pumpkins this weekend, you've got to make these roasted pumpkin seeds. It's not exactly rocket science, but there are some surefire ways to guarantee great flavor and texture. We broke down the secrets and gave you some new ideas for flavor combos.     Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232-2017 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.
