Week 1 recipes
Tips for the week one meal plan
- We recommend cooking the kedgeree first as this meal uses fresh salmon, otherwise you can cook the meals in any order you like.
- Lettuce is used to wrap the burgers for the Friday meal, to keep lettuce fresh and crisp store in a lettuce crisper or wrap your lettuce in a paper towel and place it in a resealable plastic bag. If the lettuce leaves become limp, revive them by soaking in cold water for up to 20 minutes in the fridge.
- Seasonal salad leaves are shared between two meals this week. Storing fresh salad leaves in an airtight container can keep them fresher for longer, if you don’t have an airtight container handy, put your salad leaves in a resealable plastic bag with a paper towel to help extend their life.
- Broccoli stalks can be eaten and are loaded with nutrients. We’ve used them this week’s recipes, just be sure to peel off the outer layer which can be tough and woody.
- You will have extra basmati rice this week, store it in an airtight container in a cool place and use in other dishes.
- Adapt the ingredients and portions to suit the needs of your family.
Some ingredients will be used across more than one meal in a week. These ingredients are all marked with a * so you know not to use all of the ingredient in one meal.
* Each meal plan of 5 meals is designed to use in-season fruit and veges. Fruit and vege growing conditions and pricing vary throughout each season, so choose cheaper in season fresh, or frozen substitutes if a particular item is unseasonably expensive.
