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 Chacarero Chileno (Chilean Steak and Bean Sandwiches) On paper, the chacarero chileno sandwich seems...weird. Grilled beef, sliced tomato, and cooked green beans. But when done properly, it works. Prove it to yourself by trying this recipe.   TUESDAY Pasta With Butternut Squash and Sage Brown Butter Brown butter–based pasta sauces are some of the simplest things around. Throw in some sautéed squash and some sage and you've got a a classic fall meal made right on the stovetop. WEDNESDAY Avocado Toast With Smoked Salmon, Goat Cheese, and Capers Sometimes you hit mid-week and only have the energy to make toast for dinner, and that's okay. We're just here to help you dress it up with ingredients that make it feel a little fancier. THURSDAY Veal Saltimbocca (Roman Sautéed Veal Cutlets With Prosciutto and Sage) Veal saltimbocca is a dish that only appears special and complicated. It comes together in 35 minutes with a simple technique, and is just salty and tangy enough to make it practically leap off the plate (and into your mouth). FRIDAY Cantonese-Style Tofu, Pine Nut, and Jicama Lettuce Cups (San Choi Bao) Lettuce wraps are a great Friday dinner for a big reason: you can eat a bunch of them and still feel pretty good about yourself. These things are all about texture as the mix of crunchy, crisp, and tender bits come together in one bite.     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.  Tomato Raisins (Oven-Dried Whole Cherry Tomatoes) Whole cherry tomatoes slowly roasted with a glaze of sugar, salt, and olive oil grow sticky-sweet on the outside while their tart and savory flavors concentrate inside. They're equally great in quick pastas as they are on angel food cake (trust).     Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232-2017 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.
