Being ordered to stay at home for a third time our own safety certainly doesn’t make it any easier, especially with this one being right in the depths of winter. With many people doing their grocery shopping online or wanting to spend as little time in the supermarket as possible, planning a menu for the week has never been more important. As with the one week meal plans that I shared in the spring and late autumn of 2020 (you can find them here and here), this one carries over leftovers or key ingredients to minimise wastage and make sure that you’re getting the best value for money from your weekly shop.
This menu features both meat and fish, but I’ll add a couple of notes with suggestions for how you could adapt or edit some of them to make them vegetarian or even vegan.

Sunday – Gary Rhodes’ Roast Beef Served With Gordon Ramsay’s Cauliflower Cheese
(Or just make a mega cauliflower cheese for a vegetarian Sunday dinner.)
Monday – Jamie’s Cauliflower Mac & Cheese
Tuesday – Leftover Beef Tacos
(Replace beef with sliced peppers and onions for a vegetarian version, and use a dairy alternative to sour cream to make this vegan)
Wednesday – Hake En Papilote
Thursday – Roasted Beetroot Tart
(You could make this vegetarian dish vegan by using a vegan feta cheese, a vegan puff pastry, and replacing the egg-wash with oil or a non-dairy milk).
Friday – Indian Roast Chicken
Saturday – Leftover Chicken Soup With Winter Seasonal Veg
(Use vegetable stock and bulk out with more vegetables and lentils for a vegan version.)
