Shaved parmesan falls over romaine and brussels, with dill chicken patties and panko cauliflower alongside.
The croutons ride in their own bowl so the leaves are still crisp when the salad is dressed.
Panko cauliflower baked to a rough gold, orzo with broccoli in the bowl above and green beans right.

Yellow, purple and cream carrots roasted whole with parsnip, parsley scattered over, green beans behind.
Left whole rather than cut into coins, which keeps the purple ones from staining everything else.
Chef Ana's Perspective

Chef's Notes

The chicken patties are chopped rather than smooth-ground, which is why you can still pick out tomato and mozzarella in the cut edge. They go into a hot pan first to set the outside, then finish in the oven so the dill on top stays green instead of frying black. The lemon garlic pork loin chops get the reverse treatment, seared last so the garlic and herbs never have time to catch.

Both dips travel in their own tubs, the yogurt horseradish for the chicken patties and the sweet chili aioli for the cauliflower. The only tree nut on this menu is in the broccoli almond orzo; the rest of the delivery is nut free, including the Brussels sprouts Caesar salad. Dressing that salad at the table is the difference between crisp and limp on day three. Say the word and I will leave the almonds out of the orzo entirely.

Rainbow carrots and parsnip came from the market small this week, so I roasted them whole instead of cutting them into coins. Honey and a hot oven do the rest, and the purple ones bleed a little onto the yellow, which is why they are laid out side by side. The sesame garlic green beans went into the same oven on the shelf below. Both taste better on the second day than they did on the first.

Reheating. The panko cauliflower needs 8 minutes at 425°F uncovered or six in an air fryer, never a microwave, or the crust turns to paste. The chicken dill patties want 12 minutes at 350°F covered, and the Mediterranean ground turkey comes back in a pan in about four.
