Recipes You Need To Cook This Week July 29 - August 4
As we say goodbye to July and hello to August, we find ourselves in one of the most bountiful times for summer produce. Farmers markets are overflowing with stone fruits, such as peaches, plums, and (our favorite) cherries. We start asking questions like "What are heirloom tomatoes and why are they so good?" And corn and is finally beginning to become available.
We have thoughtfully curated five recipes that are ideal for cooking right now and will make sure you are eating what's currently the most in season. These dishes are all good enough to be enjoyed on their own, but if you are feeling ambitious, they make for an incredible feast when served together for the ultimate summer dinner party.
Watermelon and Goat Cheese Salad
when paired with one of our favorite grilled fish or shellfish recipes. Deliciously pairing sweet and crunchy watermelon with savory and creamy goat cheese delivers a light and refreshing dish that's ideal for warmer weather. This recipe calls for pea tendrils, which can sometimes be found at your local farmers market, but if you can't don't worry, this salad is so versatile that any fresh herbs or micro greens will taste great.
Grilled Pizza With Corn, Prosciutto, and Tarragon
cooking and eating it any and every way imaginable. When used as a pizza topping, this sweet and crisp vegetable melds wonderfully with salty prosciutto and creamy mozzarella. This recipe can be made in an oven; however, since its grilling season, we encourage the use of a grill, which adds a nice smoky flavor. Making your own dough can seem intimidating, so there's no shame in picking up some that's already prepared from the grocery store or even your best local pizza shop.
this pasta recipe is like something grandma used to make (or so we like to imagine). It's perfect for any type of occasion, whether it's an alfresco date night or just a weeknight dinner with the family. Take one bite and you'll be transported to the southern coast of Italy.
A variation of teriyaki steak, this dish is one of our go-to summer recipes to toss on the barbie when having company over for dinner. Skirt steak has traditionally been a cheaper cut of meat, but since it has incredible flavor and texture, it's a wallet-friendly option for hosting. The steak only needs to marinate for an hour, which allows time to prep your grill and make some side dishes that will wow your guests. That way, when it's time to cook, dinner is pretty much done, and you just have to focus on grilling the perfect steak.
