lunch

This hearty sausage dinner is the perfect pairing of sweet and savoury.

We know what you’re thinking: Poaching an egg? For a weekday lunch?! We promise this soup is quick and worth cracking a few eggs for if you have access to a stove during the workweek. Açorda, a traditional Portuguese dish that turns stale bread into a variety of soups, epitomizes the spirit of thrifty cooking. Bom proveito!—Chantal Braganza

Creamed corn adds richness to this soup and also streamlines prep—perfect for a busy weeknight.

Create your own better-than-takeout rice bowl at home. Juicy ginger beef, hard-boiled eggs and all the veggies are nice and cozy atop this hearty bowl.

With perfectly spiced Cuban pork, tender sweet potatoes and a creamy lime sauce, this barley bowl recipe will go into weekly rotation.
