Menu Plan for the week of July 5, 2013: Friday's Recipes

Warm Stuffed Zucchini (Courgette) Cups
Grilled Salmon with Dill Sauce and Salad
Potato Salad with Mushrooms and Chevre

Cooking time:  40 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

     Our vegetable is the first course with just a small salad to go with the salmon and potatoes - lighter meals for the heat of summer.

Warm Stuffed Zucchini (Courgette) Cups

Total time: 40 minutes 
   Little cups are formed by scooping the seeds out of thick slices, but leaving a base to hold the stuffing.  A bit of cheese is added for the last few minutes, to just melt and bubble around the edges.  Healthy and pretty!  These would be great for a party, as all the work could be done ahead, and then baked at the last minute.

Grilled Salmon with Dill Sauce and Salad

Total time: 20 minutes
     Dill is often passed by as an herb (other than for dips) but it pairs well with fish and adds flavor to salad dressings.  There is a lot of salt on the fish, but it's brushed off before eating.

 Instructions:

Potato Salad with Mushrooms and Chevre

Total time: 30 minutes 
    Warm, crisp, sautéed potatoes, mushrooms and garlic enveloped in creamy, melted soft goat cheese, finished with lots of fresh basil and chives - this is not your ordinary potato salad.  Full of complex flavors, it is best served with simple, grilled meat of fish.
