Monday April 26
Avocado, quinoa and broad bean salad
Peeling beans is a chore, but it's really worth it.
And please, do not run away when you see an unusual ingredient like quinoa (or quinoa): not only is it very healthy, nutritious, but it is already in many stores and it is as easy to cook or more than white rice.
Lean With Tomato
A stew of tender and honeyed meat, surrounded by tomato fried almost until caramelization: today's recipe can only be improved by accompanying it with some good fries.
Chocobanana sandwich
It's late for the bikini operation.
We know it, and we also don't believe in it.
That is why we propose this recipe, which pays homage to chocolate, biscuit and banana.
Without fuss, but also without eating half a kilo.
Tuesday April 27
Leeks with tartar sauce
The only difficulty of this dish is in making the mayonnaise.
The rest comes down to cutting off the ends of the leeks and steaming them.
Nothing more.
Pan-roasted pasta with sardines, anchovies and garlic
A recipe as simple as it is satisfactory that can be prepared in no time, with the added trick of learning how to roast garlic without having to turn on the oven and die of heat during the summer.
Seasonal fruit: strawberries
If it only occurs to you to eat them alone or with yogurt, you are missing many of their possibilities.
Wednesday April 28
Baked baby potatoes with quick tomato chutney
Crispy potatoes, cooked and cooked in the oven, accompanied by a sweet, sour tomato sauce full of the aroma and flavor of spices.
Which, in addition, is prepared in a very short time.
Chinese hot and sour soup (Suan la fen)
The version of the hot and sour soup that we know in the West is umami, acidic, it is prepared in a very short time and it is easy to adapt it to a vegan version.
Biscuit cake, whipped cheese and fruit
The biscuit cake has it all: good, pretty, cheap, it is made in a flash and on top of it without an oven.
Beyond the mythical version with chocolate, there is a world of possibilities with cheese, cream and seasonal fruit.

Prawn bites with cilantro sambal
A non-soggy starter for your Christmas meals, based on prawns with an aromatic sauce with a Thai air.
It is prepared in a matter of minutes and has a more than reasonable cost.
Stewed cuttlefish with tomato, onion and white wine
It can be served with rice, diced fried potatoes or a polenta, but if you want to complicate your life, a good loaf of bread will serve to give an account of the true protagonist of this stew: the salsorra.
Seasonal fruit: orange
We are sorry to tell you that oranges do not cure colds, but they are still very tasty.
Friday April 30
Chickpea salad with sardines and marinated onion dressing
We resorted - yes, again - to the creativity of Ottolenghi to make a version of one of his salads.
You could also use the marinated onion dressing with blue fish or grilled mushrooms.
Monkfish American
It does not come from America but from France, originally it was made with lobster or lobster and ended up falling into the well of oblivion of old food.
But it's still a great deal, and that's why we got it back.
White chocolate, lime and raspberry cream
As a cream it is perfect like this, if you want to cover or fill a cake, remove the milk and put 200 grams of chocolate, if you are looking for a lighter texture, such as a milkshake, more milk and less cream and chocolate and so on for almost everything.
Saturday 1 May
Sirloin cachopo, Idiazábal and piquillo
We take a spin on the Asturian classic by changing the veal for pork tenderloin, the breadcrumbs for panko for an extra crunch and the tasty touch of smoked cheese and piquillo.
Seasonal fruit: apricot
It is a relative of the peach and plum, it has very few calories, and a good amount of fiber that makes it a very satiating fruit.
Sunday May 2
Plenty of rice
Lazy diners' favorite seafood rice isn't the most difficult, but it does have its secrets.
An expert teaches us how to cook it in his province of origin, Alicante.
'Twin Peaks' cherry tart
