Guide
Sometimes the food has to be on the table in 20 minutes, on other days a casserole can cook in peace in the oven. In this collection you will find ideas for both: fast dinner, vegetarian dishes, pasta and rice, soups, salads as well as recipes from pan, pot and oven.
Choose not only after cooking time, but also after what is already in the house and how hungry you are. A light salad can be added with bread, potatoes, legumes or cheese for a full meal. For large appetites pasta, curries, casseroles and hearty One-pot dishes.
If there is little time left, recipes with short distances are particularly practical: cook vegetables and sauce in the same pan, the pasta cooks side by side or all ingredients come together on the sheet. The decisive factor is less the total time than the active preparation. A dish with 30 minutes oven time can be more relaxed than a 20-minute recipe with many individual steps.
A Vegetarian dinner makes especially well satisfied, if besides vegetables also a protein source is planned. Lentils, beans, chickpeas, tofu, eggs or cheese match bowls, curries, pasta and oven dishes. roasted flavours and different textures ensure that meatless dishes do not look like a side dish.
For a light dinner salads, soups, fish and lots of vegetables are a good direction. If you like it cosy and hearty, you will find suitable ideas with casseroles, stews, creamy pasta or dishes from the baking tray. Acid, herbs and fresh vegetables balance strong dishes.
Many dishes can be prepared on the evening before or for several days. Soups, stews, curries, lasagne and casseroles often taste even more aromatic. Dressings, herbs and crispy toppings are best kept separately and only give them when serving.
For the family, dishes work particularly well, their heat, toppings and side dishes can be adjusted at the table. For guests, recipes that can be prepared before arrival and do not have to be ready for the minute are ideal. Oven dishes, curries, soups and large salads take pressure out of the process – so there is more time for the evening together.
