Quickie Flounder Meunière
Meunière is a lovely French term which comes from “à la meunière,” literally, “in the manner of a miller’s wife,” meaning a light dusting of flour. In practical terms it means rolled lightly in flour and sautéed in butter. This is a classic French dish, which is not only tasty, but dead simple. Any fairly firm white fish lends itself well to this technique.
Using frozen fish filets tends to make this a very budget friendly dish. While fresh fish is lovely, if you live inland the price and the carbon footprint both should make you take a second look at frozen fish.
Quickie Lemon Sesame Chicken with Green Beans
Young green beans work best with this dish. If you find yourself with some more mature beans, however, steam them for 2 or 3 minutes prior to stir frying so they won’t toughen up.
Shrimp with Chili Lime Butter
Shrimp is great because it’s just so darn quick. Recipes like this one are perfect for a weeknight. Mix up some yummy butter, put a bit of olive oil in a pan, saute and add the butter. Serve this with Mexican Rice and there’s enough sauce to add some extra zing to the rice.
Mexican Rice | Low Sodium Version
This is a perfect recipe for those who think that they don’t like brown rice. Cooking the rice a little bit longer will soften the brown rice, and adding the spices only enhances the nutty flavor. It’s perfect for your family – they may never know that it’s brown rice.
