1. Speedy Suppers
There are days when not even the most committed and passionate home cooks want to happy healthy meals in the kitchen. Though it may be tempting to order takeout or pick up a prepared meal, those aren't your only options. Here, we've compiled a list of "throw it all together" dishes that demonstrate that, despite time constraints or laziness, you can have tasty home-cooked happy healthy meals every night of the week. Our easy recommendations taste and look fantastic.
2. Black And Kidney Bean Chilli
What does a hearty supper that is nearly totally composed of pantry staples sound like? A quick and easy weekday meal is a veggie and bean-packed chilli; serve it with brown rice for extra fiber (get a pre-cooked pouch that you can microwave in a matter of minutes) and use canned beans for speed. Add some sour cream, grated cheese, and chopped spring onions to the meal to make happy healthy frozen meals more interesting.
3. Fish Finger Tacos
Here's a suggestion for a dinner party that will surely please everyone. Top tacos with crunchy, zesty salsa and top with oven-baked fish fingers. Fill tacos with a rich avocado cream that has been blended with sour cream, lime juice, and garlic. To make tacos using leftovers like roast chicken, cooked white fish, or roast veggies, you may replace the fish fingers with juicy, cooked prawns or even chicken goujons.
4. Curried Fish Kebabs
These fish kebabs are incredibly delicious and happy healthy meals easy to prepare. They go well with fluffy white rice and a crunchy cucumber salad. Place 14 oz (400g) white fish fillets in a bowl and cut into bite-sized pieces. Beat together 6 tablespoons coconut milk, 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste, and the juice and zest of 1/2 lemon. After pouring, flip the fish to coat it. Set the grill to medium-high heat and thread the fish onto skewers, placing lemon slices in between each piece of fish. Fish should be cooked thoroughly after 6 to 8 minutes on the grill, rotating halfway through.
5. Speedy Poke Bowl
These 15-minute poke bowls are really simple to prepare and offer a plethora of flavor and color. As directed on the package, microwave the white rice, fluff it up, spray it with a little rice vinegar, and divide it among bowls. Add sliced avocado, cucumber, shredded cabbage, carrot, and diced smoked salmon on top. Serve with a dressing that is equal parts soy sauce, rice vinegar, lemon juice, and sesame oil. Garnish with sesame seeds and coriander leaves.
6. Pad Thai-inspired Prawn Noodles
This is how to quickly prepare a noodle dish. Cook the 7 oz (200g) rice noodles according the directions on the package. Stir-fry five sliced spring onions, 3.5 ounces (100g) of bean sprouts, and 7 ounces (200g) of prawns. Next, add 3 tablespoons of peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 5 ounces (150 grams) of frozen peas. Turn up the heat, stir in the two beaten eggs and the noodles, and cook until the eggs are just set. To serve, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped coriander.
7. Speedy Pea soup
Not to mention that they happen to make a mean soup, we're constantly praising frozen peas. Add 7 oz (200g) frozen peas and 10 fl oz (300ml) vegetable stock to a large onion that has been sweated in a little oil for two people. Bring to a boil. After 5 minutes of simmering, combine using a stick blender, add 3 tablespoons of double cream, and season to taste. You may also add extra blanched peas or fresh basil to the soup to finish it off.
8. Seared Soy And Sesame Tuna
When cooking tuna, simplicity and quickness are essential; if the fish is cooked for an extended period of time, it may become insipid and dry. After lightly rubbing the tuna fillets with olive oil, sprinkle them with sesame seeds. Place in a burning hot skillet and cook for two minutes on each side. Take it out of the pan, cover it with soy sauce, and serve it with rice and stir-fried greens, or any other sides you like.
9. Farfalle With Pancetta And Peas
A freezer bag of peas is a great idea because they may be used for a variety of purposes. Fry pancetta and onions until the pancetta is crisp and the onions are soft, for an incredibly fast spaghetti dish. When the peas are soft and most of the liquid has been absorbed, add the frozen peas, stir, taste, and add mint and Parmesan cheese. Cover with stock and cook for 3–4 minutes. When the pasta is done, add it to the sauce, toss, and serve. You may easily replace the pancetta with pesto at the end of the dish to make it vegetarian.
10. Chilli Spaghetti With Garlic And Parsley
You really can't go wrong with chilli spaghetti with garlic and parsley for a straightforward yet incredibly delicious dinner. This recipe is as simple as it seems. Add as much chilli and garlic slices as you like to fry them in lots of olive oil until they become soft. Then, mix with cooked spaghetti and a generous amount of chopped parsley. Serve the pasta with shredded Pecorino cheese and a sprinkle of premium extra virgin olive oil.
11. Glazed Salmon
Searching for a novel way to prepare salmon? Try this glaze with Asian influences. Combine 4 tablespoons mirin, 3 tablespoons soft brown sugar, and 4 tablespoons soy sauce to serve 4 people. Put four skinless salmon fillets in a shallow dish, cover with sauce, and cook for three to four minutes, rotating the fish halfway through. Remove the fish after it has been fried for a few minutes on each side in a hot nonstick pan. Pour the glaze over the fish after adding the marinade and two tablespoons of rice vinegar to the pan, heating it again and letting it bubble. Accompany with rice.
