What to cook this week: menu day by day from March 20 to 26

Apparently the arrival of autumn is going to bring the climatic calm that we need so much.

Let's cross our fingers for it to be so!

In any case, we will continue to eat fresh and light.

A delicate dish to accompany with a glass of white wine and welcome the weekend.

Burrata is a cream-based cheese that has become very fashionable

in recent times.

I really love it and every time I see it, I buy it.

It is not cheap, but it is a different kind of cheese, which when cut has a more liquid heart.

If you can't find it or it's out of budget, you can prepare a mixture of ricotta and a little cream.

It will be a much cheaper formula.

Another ingredient that you may not be aware of is radicchio

, also known as radicchio.

It is from the endive family and its flavor is bitter and crunchy.

Have a nice week, eat well and happy autumn to all!

Scrambled eggs Zapallitos.

To prepare it in a few minutes, cut the zucchini very thin.

In this way, in a simple stir-fry, they will already be cooked.

It can be a side dish or a main dish, in that case, I advise you to accompany it with toast, if it is wholemeal or with seeds, the better.

Tuna roll.

Tuna roll.

A whole wheat pancake and a filling of tuna, arugula and white cheese.

You can also do it with a tortilla like the ones you use to make Mexican fajitas.

Don't you like fish?

Make them with chicken or meat strips, well marinated and sautéed.

Grilled vegetable sandwich.

A fresh and economic proposal.

The ricotta gives it a different touch.

It also has tapenade which is a mixture of anchovies, capers and olives.

It is a strong and intense flavor, if you do not like it, you can replace it with a cream cheese with herbs or spices.

Pork burger with crispy bacon.

The advantage of preparing the hamburger mixture is that you make it to your liking.

As a little secret I tell you that even if you prefer lean meats, the burga will not suit you if it does not contain a little fat.

You can use bondiola, which is an inexpensive cut and has a percentage of fat inside that will make it juicy and very tasty.

Burrata, almond and radicchio salad.

Mozzarella sticks.

Is there a bite today?

Schedule this recipe to serve warm and when the mozzarella threads are broken they stretch out a lot.

Offer sauces such as aioli, barbecue or a rich tomato sauce to dip the sticks.

Garlic chicken.

Garlic chicken.

You prepare it with thigh leg or breast.

It goes very well with Spanish fried potatoes, with white rice, or as seen in the photo, accompanied with sauces.

The dessert of the week

Melon granita.

Melon granita.

When you see how simple it is to make granitas at home, you won't buy any more ice cream.

I chose the very ripe fruit, which is the one that provides a more intense and much sweeter flavor.

To find out if the melon is optimal, tighten the knot that it has in one part (where it was connected to the plant).

If it is soft and an aroma is already perceived, it is ready to become granita.

On the contrary, if it is hard, it means that it still needs to mature.
