August midweek meal plan | Good Food
August is summer’s last hurrah. Autumn might be around the corner, but there’s still plenty of brilliant seasonal produce to enjoy. This month’s midweek meal plan is built for exactly that moment: five recipes for two, all on the table in under an hour, with most ready in 30 to 45 minutes.
These recipes have been carefully selected by our editors to pair late-summer produce with bold, reliable storecupboard flavours. Gochujang, garam masala, sherry vinegar and capers do the hard work throughout the week, building depth and complexity without long ingredient lists or complicated techniques. Courgettes, broad beans, broccoli and tomatoes remind you that the season isn’t over yet.
Across the week you’ll sit down to creamy gochujang tomato pasta; tender puttanesca baked cod with lemony courgette orzo; golden garam masala paneer and broccoli traybake with green yogurt; chorizo, broad bean and wild rice platter with sherry vinegar dressing; and smashed crispy chicken thighs with herby parmesan beans.
Our recipes are designed to be adaptable. Where possible, we’ll flag simple swaps to keep your shop streamlined and your week on track.
To keep things simple, use the in-app shopping list to add ingredients from each recipe, then check the My Good Food tab for one clear, organised list before you shop.
