After a long day, few people feel like spending an hour at the stove. The good news is that even with minimal time and ingredients you can prepare a tasty, filling, homemade dinner. Below you’ll find ten proven tips that you can manage quickly, without stress, and often from what you already have at home.
1. Pasta with garlic and olive oil
A simple Italian classic that never fails. Cook the pasta, heat olive oil with garlic in a pan and add chili or Parmesan to taste. It’s ready in fifteen minutes.
2. Omelette with vegetables
Eggs are an ideal base for a quick dinner. You can add cheese, ham, bell pepper, onion, or leftover vegetables from the fridge to the omelette. With a piece of bread it becomes a complete meal.
3. Chicken strips in a pan
Chicken cooks very quickly. Cut it into thin strips, fry in a pan and season with your favorite spices. You can serve it with rice, couscous, or a salad.
4. Tortilla filled with anything
Tortillas are the perfect rescue when you don’t know what to cook. Fill them with meat, cheese, vegetables or egg, briefly fry in a pan and dinner is ready.
5. Quick vegetable soup
Frozen vegetables, stock, and a few spices will make a light but nutritious dinner in twenty minutes. An ideal choice after a demanding day.
6. Toasts or sandwiches a bit differently
Forget the ordinary cheese toast. Add tomato, pesto, avocado, ham or egg and a simple sandwich becomes a tasty dinner.
7. Salad with protein
Salad doesn’t have to be boring. If you add grilled chicken, tuna, egg or cheese, you get a quick and complete dinner.
8. Rice with egg and vegetables
Leftover rice from lunch is an ideal base. Fry it in a pan with egg, vegetables and a little soy sauce. The result resembles simple Asian cuisine.
9. Baked potatoes on a baking sheet
Cut the potatoes, drizzle with oil, add seasoning and put them to bake. While they bake, you can prepare a dip or a salad.
10. Savory curd or yogurt dinner
Curd or thick yogurt with garlic, salt and herbs is surprisingly filling. Serve with bread or vegetables and you’re done in a few minutes.
A simple and quick dinner doesn’t have to mean a compromise in taste. You only need a few basic ingredients, a bit of inspiration, and the desire to simplify cooking.
