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 Easy Creamy Potato, Leek, and Sauerkraut Soup This recipe takes ideas from traditional Polish kapusniak (sauerkraut soup) and combines them with the creamy texture of potato-leek soup for a bowl that's satisfyingly rich and filling, but with a tangy, bright flavor.   TUESDAY Sichuan Shirataki Sesame Noodle Salad Slick shirataki noodles are perfect for quick-and-easy cold noodle salads. Here, they pick up plenty of flavor from a sauce of Sichuan peppercorn and chili-infused oil, black vinegar, garlic, soy sauce, and peanuts. WEDNESDAY Alsatian Pizza With Fresh Cheese, Onions, and Bacon It looks like a pizza, it cooks like a pizza, but don't make the mistake of actually thinking it's a pizza. Tarte flambée, the Alsatian flatbread topped with fromage blanc, thinly sliced raw onions and bacon, is as crisp as the best bar-style pie. THURSDAY Red Curry-Rubbed Grilled Halibut With Curry Vinaigrette Red curry paste gets not one but two uses in this recipe for smoky grilled halibut, first as a marinade and then as a base for the sauce. FRIDAY Argentine Asado Burgers With Seared Provolone and Chimichurri This burger is inspired by the grilling feasts of Argentina called asados. It's a juicy patty topped with a griddled slab of provolone cheese (known as provoleta in Argentina) and spoonfuls of tart, garlicky chimichurri sauce. Best way to start the weekend!     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 guide your efforts with what we're taking on over the weekend.  Tacos Árabes (Pita-Wrapped, Cumin-Marinated-Pork Tacos) Tacos árabes, a Pueblan specialty with Middle Eastern influence, feature juicy cumin-marinated pork in a warm pita-bread wrapper. This at-home recipe re-creates the spit-roasted flavor in the oven and on the stovetop. It takes up to two days, but by the end, you'll be thankful you put in the effort.     Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232-2017 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.
