6 Impressive Dinner Recipes Easy Enough for Weeknights
6 Impressive Dinner Recipes Easy Enough for Weeknights
In partnership with our friends at Blue Apron
This is the moment we typically give up on Tuesday’s dinner: We’ve figured out what we’re making in advance (this story starts with a long shot). We’re pulling ingredients from the fridge to start cooking. We realize we need to run out and grab just a few things. We picture ourselves going to the grocery store, and then…we order in.
One of the reasons we’ve liked trying Blue Apron is that it does the recipe development and shopping for you. Ingredients are delivered to your door—so you’re never missing the critical tomatoes, side of rice, or aioli come 7 p.m. But here’s the new reason we like Blue Apron: Chef, goop contributor, and goopfellas cohost Seamus Mullen developed a series of recipes for a six-week collaboration with Blue Apron. They are nourishing, super flavorful, and incredibly easy to put together. And we’re giving you a sneak peek. Mullen’s za’atar chicken over farro with creamy garlic labneh, Thai shrimp curry with braised sweet potatoes, and more will be released each week for six weeks starting February 24. You can get it all at Blue Apron, and goop readers get $80 off their first four boxes.
One-Pan Roasted Salmon and Vegetables with Olives, Capers, and Pesto
It’s a weeknight winner: We love how quickly and easily this comes together—and all in one pan.
Spiced Chicken and Olives with Harissa-Roasted Vegetables
Moroccan-inspired ingredients like harissa, preserved lemons, and ras el hanout give this dish incredible, deep flavors.
Shrimp Stir-Fry with Snow Peas and Broccoli
The saucy stir-fry has just the right amount of sweet heat. And it’s totally riffable, which means it’s in our regular rotation now.
Shrimp and Sweet Potato Curry with Lemongrass and Coconut Milk
In about the same amount of time you’ll spend on takeout, you could make this recipe. And: It tastes incredible and feels so much better to eat.
Za’atar-Spiced Chicken and Farro Salad with Lemon-Garlic Labneh
Super savory and satiating. Easy enough for a weeknight. But we think it’ll wow dinner guests, too.
Mexican-Spiced Steaks with Cilantro Chimichurri and Chayote Squash Salad
Steak is delicious, but the cilantro chimichurri is the real star here. Make double and use it as a marinade later in the week or drizzle it over grilled flatbread.
