SUPPER IN A HURRY
Weeknight meals can be both healthy and tasty
Back to school season is in full swing. Whether you have school-aged children or not, it never hurts to get a delicious and healthy dinner on the table fast.
Our lentil and mixed vegetable couscous salad is a speedy dish that’s easy to make — couscous is “cooked” by simply soaking in boiling water, and the rest of the ingredients require minimal preparation. This salad will also keep for several days — perfect for bagged lunches.
Pork often gets a bad rap for being too dry — the secret is not to overcook it. In our fast fry pork lo mein, pork chops are seared for just three minutes per side, then simmered briefly with vegetables in soy sauce flavoured with garlic, ginger and sesame oil. This results in tender and juicy pork.
With our one pot spaghetti, not only do you save time cooking, you’ll save time on dishes, too. This modern take on spaghetti Bolognese cooks the pasta right in the sauce.
