Shit! What’s for Dinner?
What to Cook This Week
Big-on-flavor dishes include carrot coconut soup, chicken escabeche, and chipotle pozole
For those times you find yourself saying, “Shit! What’s for dinner?” — we’re here to help. For our third installment of what to eat this week, we’ve got a trio with the potential for bold flavor — with two fast dishes and one that requires more commitment, largely unattended.
The carrot coconut soup marries coconut milk, Southeast Asian flavors, and a little heat for an unbeatable combination; it’s also a reminder that creamy soups are equally good without cream. The escabeche takes cues from cooks in Spain, the Caribbean, and some South American countries who often marinate food after cooking. For the last recommendation, this chipotle pozole is a hearty Mexican classic — and we’ve got 10 garnishes to mix things up. Sure, it’s not fast, but it’s not hard — and you’ll have leftovers you’ll want to eat for days.
