Guide

What's on tonight?

Sometimes the food has to be on the table in 20 minutes, other days a casserole can cook in the oven. In this collection you will find ideas for both: Quick dinners, vegetarian dishes, pasta and rice, soups, salads and recipes from the pan, pot and oven.

Choose not only by cooking time, but also by what is already in the house and how hungry you are. A light salad can be complemented with bread, potatoes, legumes or cheese for a complete meal. Pasta, curries, casseroles and hearty One-pot dishes.

Quick dinners for stressful days

If you have little time left, recipes with short distances are particularly practical: vegetables and sauce cook in the same pan, pasta cooks on the side or all ingredients come together on a baking tray. What is decisive here is not so much the total time as the active preparation. A dish with 30 minutes of oven time can be more relaxed than a 20-minute recipe with many individual steps.

Cooking varied with few ingredients

  • Choose a reliable basis: Noodles, Rice, Potatoes, bread or legumes quickly make vegetables a filling meal.
  • Freshness complement: Herbs, lemon, yoghurt, tomatoes or a crisp salad bring lightness to your plate.
  • For taste: Toasted seeds, cheese, pesto, spices or a strong sauce add depth to simple ingredients.

Vegetarian, light or hearty

A vegetarian dinner makes you feel full when you include a protein source in addition to vegetables. Lentils, beans, chickpeas, tofu, eggs or cheese are perfect with 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. Those who like it cosy and savoury will find suitable ideas with casseroles, braised dishes, creamy pasta or dishes from the tin. Acid, herbs and fresh vegetables balance out strong dishes.

Prepare dinner and use leftovers

Many dishes can be prepared the evening before or for several days. Soups, stews, curries, lasagna and casseroles often taste more aromatic when warmed up. Dressings, herbs and crispy toppings are best kept separately and added only when serving.

This makes planning easier

  • Cooking several servings: An additional plate saves time the next day or becomes lunch.
  • Prepare building blocks: Pre-cooked rice, baked vegetables or a sauce can be combined later.
  • Consciously plan leftovers: Boiled potatoes are suitable for pan-fried potatoes, other vegetables for frittata, soup or pan dishes.

Relaxed cooking for family or guests

For families, dishes that can be cooked to perfection, with pungency, toppings and side dishes that can be adapted at the table. Guests find recipes ideal that can be prepared before they arrive and do not need to be ready in a minute. Oven dishes, curries, soups and large salads take pressure off the drain - this leaves more time for the evening together.
