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 The Best Chili Ever The ultimate chili should have a rich, complex flavor that combines sweet, bitter, hot, fresh, and fruity elements in balance. This recipe tackles each element individually before putting them all together in one big happy pot.   TUESDAY Mediterranean Tuna Salad Sandwiches This mayo-free tuna salad is loaded with Mediterranean flavors, including plenty of fresh olive oil, capers, olives, fennel, celery, and a splash of lemon. WEDNESDAY Penne With Hot-as-You-Dare Arrabbiata Sauce  Exceedingly simple in concept and execution, arrabbiata sauce is tomato sauce with the distinction of being spicy enough to earn its "angry" moniker.  THURSDAY Polish Potato, Kielbasa, and Cabbage Soup (Kapusniak) There are hundreds of variations on classic Polish kapusniak (sauerkraut and sausage soup). Kenji's version lays no claims to authenticity, but it is simple, delicious, and deeply nourishing. Sauerkraut and fresh cabbage come together for extra flavor in the broth. FRIDAY Pressure Cooker Mushroom Risotto The pressure cooker is the fastest and most reliable way to cook perfect risotto. This version comes out creamy and intensely flavored with fresh mushrooms and dried porcini. A touch of miso paste gives it savory depth.     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.  Homemade Tortillas Nothing makes you feel accomplished like tackling a new bread on the weekend. Try your hand at Tex-Mex tortillas, which are tender and chewy and perfect for quesadillas, breakfast tacos, and queso fundido.      Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232-2017 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.
