Before I tell you about the meal plan, please sign up for the Summer Recipe Jam! I will be taking a peak in your kitchen via Instagram or Facebook everyday next week and I will share my favorite ways to use your own ingredients. It is another great way to discover new recipes from Lilly’s Table. Also, if you use #LTmember on all of your posts, I will be providing a special prize exclusive to paying members.
Now… this week, stock up on beets, mangoes, rhubarb and add a bit of snap peas, english peas, and a few bouquets of greens such as the tops of beets to make several batch dishes and one big beautiful meal plan this week.
Start your week by roasting up a few bunches of beets trimmed, unpeeled with a generous splash of water and salt. Cover with foil and roast into tenderness. Peel them afterwards. Honestly, any shade of beets, crimson, golden, orange, or pink stripes, will do. You will now have one less item for two dishes: the Beet Raita and the Beets & Seeds Burgers.
Cook up a big ol’ pot of black beans or crack open a few cans to create the Mexican Black Beans and you will have a lunch of Black Bean Tacos to take on the go, Black Bean Tostadas to top with the zesty Tequila Grilled Shrimp and a bowl of Spring Fiesta Salad that works easily with the Avocado Pea Enchiladas.
If you have an enchilada sauce you love to purchase, wonderful, but if not, make a big batch of this Brilliant Green Enchilada Sauce not only to add an extra emerald shade to the Avocado Pea Enchiladas, but for a breakfast with Veggie Chilaquiles also lovely with a side of Mexican Black Beans and your favorite Toppings.
Currently, I have stalks of rhubarb sitting in a vase of water waiting for my attention. I have been using a stalk here and there for sweet treats, but I love using the tangy stalk for savory applications such as the Rhubarb & Snap Peas with feta & greens and the Rhubarb, Mung Beans + Sweet Potatoes. These dishes are very happy served together in one big plant driven meal.
Mangos. I realize they need to be shipped to most of us, but I can’t seem to resist the piles at my store lately and I imagine you have been seeing them, too. However, if you don’t have fresh access, frozen mangos can also work for the grilled Mango Curry Chicken, while dried mangos work well for the Curried Garbanzos & Mango Salad and for the snack-ably delightful Mango Date Bars.
Stock up on spring and let’s batch cook it into a beautiful week!
Cook seasonally. Eat consciously. Live well,
