Green Bean and Eggplant Skillet with Peanut Sauce: Super Simple Way to Get Tasty, Healthy Meals on the Table–Fast<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An earlier post<\/a> described a friend’s go-to trick for making tasty, healthy food fast:\u00a0 melanges<\/a>.\u00a0 For me, it’s skillet dishes, hands down.<\/p>\n

Why Skillets?\u00a0<\/strong> Learn to make one and you can vary it a hundred ways, never have to struggle through a recipe, and almost invariably end up with a darn tasty meal.<\/p>\n

The Basic Structure<\/strong>\u00a0 In our summer meal making series<\/a> we learned the basic structure for a skillet dish:\u00a0 Saute some aromatics, add and cook some vegetables, add and cook some protein and\/or a starch.\u00a0 Voila! You have a quick, healthy and tasty one dish meal.<\/p>\n

The Key to Skillet Speed:\u00a0 Minimal Instructions\u00a0<\/strong> The recipe below is an easy riff on the basic skillet. You might notice the instructions–or lack thereof! Having to wade through long instructions can keep us from trying a new dish. That’s why, in our classes, we learn basic, building block techniques so you don’t have to wade through long instructions. You can cook from your head, easily and naturally with just a few recipe prompts.<\/p>\n
