TOP-5 Quick Ideas for Family Dinner 0 10

VEGETABLE TAGINE WITH COUSCOUS

This dish, rich in iron and low in fat, is similar in preparation to a familiar stew. Its origin is in the East, where familiar vegetables are combined with various spices such as coriander, paprika, and cardamom. The recipe is quite simple: chop onions, peppers, tomatoes, and chicken, sauté them in oil, then transfer to a pot, add some water and spices, and simmer until cooked. Couscous makes an excellent side dish, as it cooks in just five minutes — especially relevant for a late dinner when hostesses usually lack time...

DOUBLE BEANS AND FRIED RED CHILI PEPPER

This dish is hearty yet budget-friendly. To prepare it, you will need a pot in which to sauté chopped onions, chili peppers, and celery. Then add spices and herbs to taste, followed by tomatoes and a bit of pre-stewed beans. Simmer until the beans are cooked.

CHICKEN CASSEROLE WITH CURRY AND YOUNG POTATOES

This healthy chicken dish with curry has many advantages! Firstly, it is low in calories as it is baked in the oven, and secondly, it does not require constant monitoring — a timer will help you. The only thing you need to do in advance is to marinate the chicken pieces in curry spices, onions, garlic, and yogurt to make the dish more flavorful. Place the marinated chicken in a baking dish and cook at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes. Then chop the potatoes and add them to the chicken, cooking for another 30-40 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown — this will indicate that the dish is ready!

SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS

Spaghetti and meatballs are a definite hit for the whole family. Everyone will love this new version of meatballs with a delightful combination of lean pork mince and lentils, which gives the dish a special flavor. The secret is simple: replace the usual portion of pork with a handful of boiled lentils. Also, add some garlic and herbs or spices to your taste to the mince!

CREAMY RISOTTO WITH TOMATOES

This is a great inexpensive dish that won't harm your figure even in the evening! In winter, tomatoes can be replaced with tomato paste or canned tomatoes blended in a blender. Cook it like standard risotto, adding basil and garlic to the tomato sauce. Optionally, the finished dish can be sprinkled with grated cheese.
