Weekly Meal Ideas: Nine Sunday Dishes to Stretch Throughout the Entire Week
In the quest for flavourful and nutritious meals, look no further! This week, we've gathered a collection of easy-to-prepare recipes that are sure to please. From a ratatouille-inspired dish to a Moroccan-spiced chickpea stew, there's something for everyone.
First up, a sheet-pan Asian stir-fry that allows for any vegetables and protein to be roasted with a homemade sauce. The sauce for the stir-fry only takes a few minutes to make but is worth the effort, and store-bought sauce can be used as an alternative, keeping an eye on added sugars.
For a lighter take on a Sunday roast, cauliflower is roasted with flavors similar to a traditional roast, keeping the dish vegan. This versatile vegetable can be used in various ways, such as adding leftovers to sandwiches, sautéed with sturdy greens, mixed into grain bowls, or added to a savory scramble.
Eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, tomatoes, garlic, onion, and fresh herbs are roasted for a ratatouille-inspired dish. Balsamic vinegar is added to the roasted vegetables for extra flavor. This dish can be topped on polenta, mixed into pasta, served on toast with a poached or fried egg, mixed with a grain and some greens, thrown into a frittata or quiche, topped on protein like salmon, or tossed into a big salad with toasted nuts.
A one-pot chicken and rice fajita soup is a fusion of fajita, burrito, enchilada, and soup flavors, ready in just 30 minutes. The soup can be served wet burrito-style in a flour tortilla, strained and piled on cabbage or romaine, mixed with Mexican fixings, served with scrambled or fried eggs, or stuffed into a chicken breast.
Lastly, a Moroccan-spiced chickpea stew is made in a slow cooker and can be served with quinoa, arugula, and coconut yogurt. This hearty stew can be scooped up with crusty bread, served over protein, stuffed into a sub or a cooked spaghetti squash half, mixed with sweet potato noodles, or changed up with different greens and sauce.
