Meal Plan Monday 3

Salamwalikoum,

So here again for another installment of meal plan monday. Last week I unfortunately forgot to place the order for our halal chicken at the shop so I'm running low on meat. This week will be border line vegetarian until the box of chicken arrives next monday.
Luckily I always keep plenty of legumes on hand.

So here goes for this week:

Monday
We had friends over for dinner on sunday night.
The result way too many leftovers.... so today is
LEFTOVER DAY...lol

Tuesday
lentil soup a.k.a. Shorbat Adas
ingredients:
8 c. water
1 1/5 c. lentils
1 onion chopped
1 clove garlic
chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
3/4 tsp cumin
1 tsp turmeric
3 cubes chicken bouillon

Literally throw everything in a pot and cook on medium heat for about 30-45 minutes or until the lentils a tender and the broth is a bit thick.
Too yummy

Wednesday
Potatoe pancakes
This is a traditional acadian recipe.

3-4 meduim potatoes finely grated
1 egg
1 onion finely chopped
2 tbsp flour
salt pepper and any other spices you want.
oil for pan frying

Make sure to remove as much excess water from the grated potatoes as possible.
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and laddle onto a hot skillet with a bit of oil for frying.
cook on both sides until golden and crispy.
Makes enough for 4 people.
This can also be a breakfast food.

Thursday
Spaghetti with meat sauce

Friday
Couscous
(this is still uncertain....)

Saturday
Pot pie
This will be using leftover turkey that is already cooked and sitting in my freezer...

Sunday
as usual is left blank because no matter what meal I plan on this day... it's never what I end up making...lol

So there is this weeks menu plan and inshallah I won't deviate too much from it....lol

Take care
happy eating!
