December 9 to 13, 2024: Budget Recipes to Cook This Week

What’s on the menu for the week ahead? Make everyone around the table happy with our selection of five quick, tasty and budget-friendly dishes, including mushroom pasta, seared fish, and more!

Monday: Air Fryer Roasted Chickpea Tacos

Tacos in the air fryer? Believe it! Using this small appliance ensures that the chickpeas are slightly crispy, making for a delicious contrast with the various toppings that accompany the dish. They’ll be a hit with kids and adults alike.

Tuesday: Chicken, Olive and Mushroom Orecchiette

Tonight, whip up this recipe starring ear-shaped pasta. Also including chicken, olives and white button mushrooms, it’s a simple dish but still looks rather impressive for a weeknight!

Wednesday: Seared Fish with Orange Fennel Salad

This winning dish is bright and delicious, thanks to the fennel salad with sliced orange rounds, for much needed vitamin C! The fish itself is seared beautifully, with the perfect amount of flakiness and skin that’s wonderfully crispy.

Thursday: Dahl with Sweet Potato Spirals

This dish, which falls somewhere between a curry and a soup, makes for an excellent meatless meal. Yogurt, store-bought pre-cut sweet potato spirals and spices give it texture and richness. It’s perfect now that cold weather has settled in.

Friday: Crispy Rice Salad with Cucumber, Pork and Peanuts

Want to liven up your weekday menu? This meal is a breath of fresh air, with the crispy rice adding plenty of texture, and the various toppings–ground pork, lime, peanuts, grated coconut and mint–bringing loads of flavour. Talk about a rice salad makeover!
