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 Smashed Reuben Burgers Make sure your Monday ends on a savory note with this cross between two classics—a Reuben and a smashed burger. With Russian dressing–smeared rye bread as the bun, a layer of sauerkraut, and a beef patty topped with melted cheese, this burger stacks up pretty nicely.    TUESDAY Coconut- and Ají Amarillo–Braised Chicken The combination of coconut milk and Peruvian ají amarillo chili paste is all you need to brighten up braised chicken. In this recipe, chicken thighs are quickly seared on the stovetop for crispy skin, simmered in the sauce of coconut and ají amarillo, and then transferred to the oven to cook until the meat is perfectly tender. WEDNESDAY Catalonian-Inspired Grilled-Vegetable Salad We can't get enough vegetables this time of year, which is why we're loving this salad inspired by the Catalonian dish xató. Filled with crisp grilled vegetables and topped with a smoky romesco-style sauce of peppers, tomatoes, and almonds, this dish is delicious served warm, with anchovies on top. THURSDAY Shrimp Rolls (New England–Style Seafood Sandwiches) When beach weather and your favorite seafood shack feel impossibly far away, these New England–style shrimp rolls are a quick fix. The recipe takes no more than an hour, from marinating the shrimp in salt and baking soda to cooking them, tossing them with chives and celery, and assembling in butter-toasted buns.  FRIDAY Pasta Primavera (Pasta With Spring Vegetables) Living up to its name, which means "spring pasta," this dish boasts the best and brightest of the season—asparagus shoots, English peas, fava beans, and broccolini. Plus, we make sure the vegetables are the stars of the show by using crème fraîche instead of the heavy cream that's traditional.      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.  The Best Yorkshire Pudding Just like you, the batter for this Yorkshire pudding has to rest overnight so it can rise up to its full potential in the morning. In other words, it's the perfect Saturday project to eat on Sunday. Tall, crispy, and chewy, the puddings are the ideal vehicle for rich gravies or pan drippings.     Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232-2017 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.

Homemade Shio ("Salt-Flavored") Ramen

Your Recipe of the Day No Images? Click here From-Scratch Shio Ramen Any ramen that gets its salinity and flavor primarily from salt, rather than miso or soy sauce, can be called a shio ramen. This bowl of noodles, made with a light and clear blend of chicken stock and dashi, is flavored with a solution of salt, lemon, and kombu (dried kelp). You can top this bowl of shio ramen with whatever you wish, but it's equally good when unadorned, particularly if you have some great ramen noodles that can serve as the star.
