Here’s What to Cook Every Night This Week (July 26 – August 1)

Ever heard of a revenge dinner party? It’s a food-filled soiree so epic that it makes up for lost time spent in solitude during quarantine. Since we know you’re eager to socialize and host, this week is all about low-lift meals that are elegant and impressive enough to serve guests (or your family or roommates). They taste even better when devoured outdoors, BTW.

Fancy seafood on a Monday night? You bet. Believe it or not, this stunner only takes 20 minutes to whip up, and all the scallops need is a thorough patting dry, a sprinkle of salt and two minutes of searing per side.

Forget all the tedious layering that traditional lasagna calls for. All you need to pull this summer gem off is seasonal produce, 35 minutes and your trusty skillet.

Drumsticks > breasts, don’t @ us. They’re guaranteed to stay juicy on the inside and crisp on the outside after 20 minutes on the grill.

Starring the most decadent tinned fish of all time. Bonito is a smaller variety of tuna caught off the coast of Basque Country that’s famous for its fatty, rich flavor. Paired with fried capers and fresh dill, it’ll change your mind about canned tuna forever.

To no one’s surprise, our favorite vegetarian dishes are those that put cheese and potatoes front and center. If you have one, use a mandoline to slice the potatoes so they’re all identical in size and cook evenly.

You won’t believe how little this delectable taco filling asks of you. Just season, set and forget the pork shoulder in your Crock-Pot until it’s fork-tender and ready to devour.
