5-Ingredient Meal Plan Week 42

NOTE: Don’t feel like you’re supposed to make all these recipes.
Choose just one to experiment with each week.

MONDAY

Slow Moroccan Apricot Chicken

This Moroccan-ish Apricot number is a winner on all fronts.

The tomato paste gives a strong flavour foundation with highlights from the spices and sweetness from the apricots. And of course succulent chicken courtesy of our friend the slow cooker.

TUESDAY

Lovely Lemon Ragu

My boys love a good old bolognese so I’m always thinking of ways to freshen it up so we aren’t getting bored.

This lemony version was a suprise winner. I was totally expecting it to be rejected. But happily the power of spaghetti was enough to overcome any resistance to new things.

WEDNESDAY

Japanese Omelette with Miso Mayo

Omelettes are one of my favourite, favourite simple weeknight dinners. They’re so quick. And satisfying.

And endless possibilities for flavour.

Recently this Japanese-inspired omelette has been on high rotation in our house. I love how the soy sauce and onion give beautiful depth of flavour to elevate the simple eggs into something sublime.

And how the avocado and savoury miso mayo provide substance and creaminess.

Delicious with a perfectly cooked omelette.

THURSDAY

Macadamia Satay

OK I know what you’re going to think when you look at the ingredients list…

This sounds delicious Jules, but where am I going to find macadamia butter?! I know. I know.

I’ve been making my own macadamia butter since my Irishman got me a new food processor last year. It’s so so good. I don’t think we’ll ever go back to peanut butter.

But don’t let the absence of macadamia butter in your life stop you from enjoying this delicious unusual take on the peanut based satay.

FRIDAY

Aussie Burger Bowls

One of my new favourite convenient ingredients is vacuum packed cooked beets. I can’t tell you how much I love them.

So, it was only a matter of time before said beets found their way into a burger recipe. Because one of the great culinary contributions Australia has made to the world is the addition of sliced beetroot onto the humble hamburger.

Seriously it’s the best.

SWEET TREAT

Little Lemon Delicious Puddings

Please don’t hate me for sharing this recipe with you.

It’s one of those treats that is so easy to whip up when you’re in the mood for something sweet and creamy. We’re talking 2 minutes max.

And it’s just so so good.

Bursting with fresh lemony goodness and that lovely natural sweet creaminess of almond butter. With some crunchy roast pecans to keep the texture interesting.

Reminds me of cheesecake. In the best possible way.
