| 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  Put any doubts you have about pasta salad aside, and trust us on this one. Crispy chorizo, sautéed garlic, roasted piquillo peppers, fresh parsley, and lemon zest come together with macaroni noodles to make a pasta salad you'll want to make again and again. TUESDAY  Roasted Eggplant With Tahini, Pine Nuts, and Lentils We’re big fans of roasted eggplant, so we’re all for a recipe that makes a meal of it. In this dish, we pair roasted eggplant halves with lentils cooked with celery, carrots, and onion, and top it all off with a sauce made of tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and cumin. WEDNESDAY  Peruvian-Style Grilled-Chicken Sandwiches With Spicy Green Sauce Frankly, we could eat this creamy jalapeño sauce by the spoonful, but at dinnertime, we're equally happy to eat it in grilled-chicken sandwiches. The sauce gets generously spread on ciabatta, which is then topped with avocado, red onion, lettuce, and the seasoned grilled chicken. THURSDAY  Spicy Cumin Lamb Skewers (Yang Rou Chuan) For obvious reasons, grilled skewered meat is a go-to dinner for us this time of year, and we can't get enough of these Beijing street food–style lamb skewers. Before their quick stint on the grill, lamb shoulder chops are cut and seasoned with cumin, chili flakes, fennel seed, and Shaoxing wine. FRIDAY  Po' boys make a perfectly balanced meal, if you ask us. The balance achieved by pairing crispy cornmeal-crusted fillets of tilapia, crunchy pickles, lettuce, and tomatoes with generously applied creamy rémoulade—all in a baguette—is really rather remarkable. Your Weekend Project Ah, the weekend. Visions of time-consuming kitchen endeavors have been 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.  Ultra-Crispy Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder This slow-roasted pork shoulder is everything you could want, both flavor- and texture-wise. First you cook it on low for eight hours to get tender, pull-apart meat. Then you finish it at 500°F for the crispiest skin. If you want to serve it with a sauce, go for a barbecue sauce or chimichurri.
