We want a quick menu in October!

What to eat in October?

Summer is well and truly over. You can put away your shorts and sunglasses, to bring out sweaters and boots. In the kitchen too, summer recipes are replaced by warmer and comforting flavors. Goodbye, tomato-mozzarella salads, hello squash soups and mushroom risottos. October fruits and vegetables are plentiful during this time. Cabbage, squash, apples, pears, endives, beets…. Enough to concoct vitamin-rich and delicious dishes.

How to prepare a quick menu without any hassle?

No need to spend hours behind the stove to enjoy it. By choosing good recipes, you can whip up a real feast in no time. Forget stew recipes right away. If these are recipes that we love to make on Sunday, when we have all the time, during the week, they are impractical. On the other hand, all recipes for salads, carpaccios, pastas, and stir-fries are quite quick to prepare and cook. Moreover, making the starter or dessert while the dish is cooking, or vice versa, is an excellent idea to save time.
As for dessert, which we want express, we use fruit which we prepare in salad, roasted in the oven or in compote. You can also succumb to the temptation of an autumnal cake, by making sure to prepare it first. This way, its cooking time will not interfere with the rest of the menu.

Your quick menu for the month of October

We love the idea of ​​forest carpaccio as a starter. With porcini mushrooms or button mushrooms, preparation is easy. If necessary, use a mandolin to cut thin, even slices. The toasted pine nuts and parmesan shavings finally bring a crunchy and delicious touch to this seasonal recipe.

Let’s continue with a dish that everyone will agree on, pasta with chickpeas and zaatar. A complete recipe, high in protein thanks to chickpeas and anchovy fillets. Originally, chickpea pasta is a great classic of Italian cuisine, but with zaatar and cumin, it takes on a Levantine accent.

Even if we’re in a hurry, we always have time for dessert. To end this quick menu in style, we chose apple bricks. Between the fondant caramelized apples and the crunchy brick leaves and nuts, this dessert has it all. The icing on the cake is that this dessert can be personalized as desired. You can choose any seasonal fruit (pears, figs, plums, etc.), spices (vanilla, cinnamon, tonka, etc.), use maple syrup or a mixture of nuts, etc.

Have all these recipes made you hungry? It’s time to get into the kitchen.
