5 Healthy 5-Ingredient Dinners: Week 16

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

MONDAY

Zucchini Parmigiana

Another idea inspired by me playing around with the weekly meal plan recipes.

My Irishman isn’t eating eggplant at the moment because of the FODMAPS situation.

But I really felt like the ?eggplant parmigiana? in the meal plan.

Hey presto, zucchini parm!

TUESDAY

Taco Tuesday Bowls

I first made these taco bowls with some leftover pulled pork that was amazing. However I’m just as happy with this simple weeknight option. Although it does all depend on the quality of your hot sauce.

My favourite is a smoky chipotle that has a bit of sweetness but you could go for tabasco or even sriracha. Just add a little at a time. It’s easy to add more heat but difficult to subtract!

WEDNESDAY

Spinach & Feta Burgers

This is one of those super versatile recipes that is excellent to have up your sleeve. Using frozen greens it’s basically a pantry recipe. But you can also cook the burgers ahead and have them stashed in your freezer ready to cook from frozen. Like I said, super versatile.

Spinach and Feta work so well together. The feta provides loads of flavour but also that satisfying texture so you feel like you’re getting a proper feed.

THURSDAY

Air Fryer Salmon with Crispy Skin

After my first experiment with frozen salmon, I feel deeply in love.

We’re talking the perfect balance between crispy skin and soft melting flesh.

Oh and it all happens in about 10 minutes – while you potter around doing other things.

FRIDAY

Creamy Mushroom, Beef & Almond Pies

A while back, I was flicking through the ?Bourke Street Bakery? book, fondly remembering their pies, when inspiration struck!

Surely there was a way to make a pie that would be just as delicious and comforting without all the carbs.

Or the effort that goes with making pastry. And my friend, there is!

SWEET TREAT

Last-Minute Peanut Butter Mousse

You know those nights when you decide after dinner that you really need something else to eat? But you haven’t organized anything? Well, my friend, I’m going to share with you my favourite little last-minute indulgence. Mostly it’s something I whip up for myself, but occasionally I share it with company and grandly call it my Peanut Butter Mousse. But it’s also great as a post-run snack.
