Main Course Menu Plan: Week 5  Fall II

Day 1: Sesame-Crusted Salmon

Total time: 20 minutes
 The sesame crust adds just the right amount of crunch to these flavorful salmon filets; roasting keeps the crust nicely in place.

Sesame-Crusted Salmon Ingredients:

 Instructions:

Note:  For easy clean up cover pan with foil first.  This is especially nice if you are using fillets with the skin on.  You can carefully lift the salmon off the skin to serve, leaving the skin on the foil.  Then wrap the whole mess up and toss.

Day 2: Chicken Breasts Savoyard    

Total time: 45 minutes
   An elegant party dish, it expands easily.  Boneless chicken and artichoke bottoms, baked in a white wine sauce.  It can be prepared ahead and baked at the last minutes.  Very little work for gourmet main course.  Serve with some fluffy Basmati or Mashed Potatoes.

Day 5:  Spaghetti Timbale with Tuna

Total time: 50 minutes
    Spaghetti Pie with Tuna. The spaghetti forms a thick layer on the bottom with the tuna and cheese in layers on top.  If you used a spring form pan you could let it cool a bit and then unmold it for a proper timbale.  We're never that patient.

Day 6: Chicken Stew with Sherry   

Total time: 50 minutes
    Sherry adds flavor notes that go well with stews.  It blends well with the traditional root vegetables and enhances the flavor of the chicken.
