Chef Ana's Perspective

Chef's Notes

I would start the week's pairings with Mongolian Sirloin Beef and Honey Garlic Green Beans Without Chili, keeping the sweet garlic flavors together without adding chili heat. Orange Rosemary Baked Chicken Thighs can take a different plate with Paprika & Herbs Roasted Okra and Mini Bell Peppers. The Dairy-Free Creamy Red Lentil & Chickpea Stew gives this menu a legume-based main for a meal between the beef and chicken.

For reheating, I recommend covering a refrigerated portion of Orange Rosemary Baked Chicken Thighs and warming it at 350°F for 20–25 minutes, checking that the center is hot. Dairy-Free Creamy Red Lentil & Chickpea Stew can go into a small saucepan with a tablespoon of water over medium-low heat for 6–8 minutes, stirred frequently until it is heated through. I would heat only the portion being served and allow extra time for larger portions.

I treat Dairy-Free Creamy Red Lentil & Chickpea Stew as the explicitly dairy-free dish here; Miso Butter and Asparagus Gnocchi includes butter. Roasted Pear & Arugula Salad with Pecorino, Pecans & Dijon Vinaigrette (Without Grains) includes cheese and nuts, so its grain-free wording does not make it dairy-free. For anyone choosing around those ingredients, I would review the named dishes individually rather than describe the whole menu as dairy-free or grain-free.
