July brings one of the widest selections of locally grown produce. This week combines tomatoes, courgettes, broccoli, kohlrabi, cauliflower and potatoes in seven straightforward Thermomix® dinners.
Each day links to the complete recipe. If you want to cook the full week, use the combined shopping list for four people below.
Monday, 6 July: Spaghetti Tomato Mozzarella
Outdoor tomatoes are coming into season. Mozzarella and spaghetti turn them into a quick family dinner for the start of the week.
Tuesday, 7 July: Quick Broccoli and Ham Pasta
Broccoli is in season throughout July and works beautifully in a quick pasta sauce. Ham adds a savoury note without adding extra preparation.
Wednesday, 8 July: Kohlrabi Broccoli Soup with Avocado
Kohlrabi and broccoli are both freshly harvested now. Avocado gives the soup a creamy finish while the Thermomix® blends it until smooth.
Thursday, 9 July: Low Carb Cauliflower Pizza
Cauliflower replaces the usual pizza dough. It turns this July vegetable into a lighter dinner with crisp edges and a savoury topping.
Friday, 10 July: Courgette and Potato Gratin
Courgettes and new potatoes share one baking dish. The gratin can be prepared ahead, making Friday dinner pleasantly relaxed.
Saturday, 11 July: Potato Goulash
Potatoes, peppers and onions make a hearty meat-free goulash. Serve it with soured cream or a slice of fresh bread.
Sunday, 12 July: Thermomix® Ratatouille
Tomatoes, courgettes and peppers meet in the mixing bowl for the end of the week. Serve the ratatouille with rice, baguette or on its own.
