Wednesday: Moroccan Lamb Tagine
This Moroccan lamb stew is packed with flavors of saffron, ginger, and cinnamon. Paired with a side of couscous, it's a delightful Wednesday dinner.
Thursday: Chicken Tikka Masala
A British-Indian classic, this chicken dish served in a spicy, creamy sauce is a masterpiece of flavors. Serve it with basmati rice and naan bread.
Friday: Paella
End the week with this famous Spanish dish. Made with rice, seafood, chicken, and a variety of spices, it's the perfect Friday night dinner.
Wine Recommendations for the Week:
- For the Chicken Fajitas and the Paella, a glass of chilled rosé will provide a refreshing contrast to the warm spices. The fruity notes in the rosé pair well with the citrus undertones in these dishes.
- The Spaghetti alla Carbonara with its rich, creamy sauce calls for a Sangiovese. This wine, with its high acidity and medium body, will cut through the richness of the dish without overwhelming it.
- For the Moroccan Lamb Tagine and the Chicken Tikka Masala, a robust Syrah would do wonders. The bold flavors and tannins in the Syrah can stand up to the complexity and spice in these dishes.
This menu is designed to take you on a culinary journey around the world, from the comfort of your own kitchen. Each dish is easy to make yet offers deep and complex flavors, making every dinner a delight. Get ready for a wonderful week ahead!
