I just read this article on 3 Modern Dinner Recipes You Need To Try This Week, and it made me salivate! It’s by no means just your run-of-the-mill meal plan. The recipes are all online, and they all share a fancy, restaurant-style flair. Essentially, they each add a surprising twist to otherwise boring ingredients.
The first recipe features spaghetti as the star ingredient. However, what sets it apart from the more mundane pasta dishes of old is the use of fresh cilantro and citrus-scented limes to brighten it up. The second recipe is for meatballs, but instead of the typical beef meatballs, this one uses lamb, and the Moroccan-inspired sauce is a mix of cumin, cinnamon, and curry. Finally, the last recipe is a white fish dish that has a glorious topping of roasted tomatoes and olives.
What I particularly appreciated was the fact that the article not only laid out the ingredients required for these mouth-watering meals, but it also featured plenty of images of the completed dishes, which is always incredibly helpful when you’re unsure of whether you’re taking the right steps in the cooking process!
Although I’m not exactly chef material, I do enjoy cooking as a hobby, particularly when I have people coming over for dinner. These recipes would be perfect to impress even the toughest food critics.
In sum, the article provided a fresh take on some staple ingredients, and I’m excited to try one of these three recipes at home this week. By veering away from the typical recipes, the article showed how you can create unique, restaurant-worthy meals in your own kitchen. It’s a great reminder that even if you’re not a trained chef, with these recipes, it’s easy to impress anyone with your culinary skills.
