June 24 to 28, 2024: Budget Recipes to Cook This Week

Looking for a few delicious dinner ideas for this week? And you want them to be quick and easy to make, and affordable, too? That’s an easy order to fill! Check out these five recipes that fit the bill.

Monday: Mezze-Style Tofu with Onion Confit

Mezzes are usually an appetizer platter, but they also make for a great and plentiful meal. This plate is brimming with onion-confit-tossed tofu, roasted cauliflower, cucumber, avocado, hummus, tabbouleh and marinated red bell peppers. It’s a simple meal that comes together quickly on a busy weeknight.

Tuesday: Warm Udon Noodle Salad with Confit Trout

With its delicate texture and mild taste, trout is a great option for those certain family members that may not have a great appreciation for fish. And when paired with deliciously toothsome udon noodles, everyone around the table will definitely be clamouring for a second helping!

Wednesday: Spicy Chicken with Cantaloupe and Chorizo

The combination of chorizo and crushed red pepper flakes is all you need to add some heat to a meal. Seasonal cantaloupe brings a burst of freshness to the chicken dish, thanks to both its taste and bright colour. It’s a pretty effortless meal that’ll be on the table in just 30 minutes.

Thursday: One-Pot Cheese Tortellini

The best recipes are oftentimes the easiest, particularly when you only need a single pot to prepare everything. Simply cook store-bought tortellini in chicken broth, then add leek, pancetta, peas and cream, and you’ve got a summer-friendly pasta dish the whole family will love.

Friday: Smash Burgers with Onions, Spinach and Garam Masala

Friday night calls for a tasty burger. We enjoy the usual version featuring cheese and ketchup, but we think you should venture off the beaten path with this smash burger with a kick! This is due to its garam masala-flavoured onion and spinach topping. For even more flavour, don’t forget the curry fries!
