With your job and the kids and all that working out, weeknight eating often ends up being an afterthought. To help you keep your dinners healthy and your budget on track, our chefs have collected five of their midweek, meat-free favorites. Trust us, you can take these meals from mind to plate in just minutes!
1/5
Dan Churchill's Feta Red Pepper Omelette
When Dan says his egg dinners are "easy as", he’s not lying! This tasty omelette requires only three ingredients (it’s all right there in the title) and will be on your plate in less than 10 minutes. A simple lentil side salad will ensure you’re satisfied.
2/5
Easy Eggplant Parm
Doing comfort food on a budget doesn’t have to mean non-stop mac & cheese. Load up your eggplant for a meal so hearty, so cheesy, so rich and saucy, you’ll want to make it your midweek regular.
3/5
Pasta Salad with Bocconcini
Praise be to pasta, the no-brainer, low-cost dish that’s saved us so many times, we’ve lost count. This fresh pasta salad is topped with bocconcini, AKA glorious bite-sized balls of mozzarella.
4/5
Creamy Eggplant Chickpea Curry
It’s time to hit the pantry and use up those cans of chickpeas and crushed tomatoes you’ve been saving! A little goes a long way with a good curry like this one – you’ll be able to feed the whole family for peanuts (though we suggest topping with almond flakes).
5/5
Dan Churchill's Veggie Pita Wraps
Dan is the man when it comes to fast, fresh and healthy dinners – this one will be on your plate (or in your hand) in all of 10 minutes! Wraps are a great way to bundle up those last little bits, so feel free to swap for different veggies you’ve got lying around in your fridge.
