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 Pressure Cooker Chicken and Chickpea Masala  This recipe for a pseudo-Indian chicken channa masala takes only 30 minutes thanks to the pressure cooker, delivering long-simmered flavor and tender chicken in a fraction of the time.   TUESDAY Broiled Whole Porgy With Blistered Shishito and Tomato Put down that phone! Here's a meal that's faster than delivery. By using the broiler, whole porgy grows blistered and crispy on the outside while its delicate white flesh stays tender and sweet. Keeping the prep work to a minimum makes it extra quick and easy. WEDNESDAY 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 yourself a great 30-minute meal. It's a classic winter weeknight dish that can be made right on the stovetop. THURSDAY Japanese Pork Fried Rice Omelette With Okonomiyaki Sauce (Omurice) Japan's omurice is an addictive dish of fried rice served with an omelette. It's surprisingly easy to make at home. In this recipe, the rice is fried with cabbage and diced pork belly or bacon, then tossed with sweet-savory okonomiyaki sauce. FRIDAY Crispy Baked Pasta With Mushrooms, Sausage, and Parmesan Cream Sauce This dinner hits all the high notes of the ideal meal after a long week: it's simple, inexpensive, covered in cheese and breadcrumbs, and made entirely in a single cast iron skillet. You shouldn't be stuck doing dishes on Friday night.     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.  Double-Caramel Sticky Buns Sunday brunch just gained new purpose, thanks to Stella's gooey sticky buns, which quite literally drip with caramel flavor. They're not a quick project—the project clocks in at 10 hours total, to account for the rise—but the wait will be worth it when your family wakes up to them on Sunday morning.     Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232-2017 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.
