Meal prep - 5 winter dishes in 1 hour
For: 2 pers.Difficulty: EasyPreparation: 25 minCooking: 35 min

This is the first time I’m sharing a complete meal prep like this 😍 Let me know if you’d like to see more—one per month? One per season?

I started with the basic idea I use to plan my weekly meals: 2 seasonal vegetables (squash and leeks), 2 protein sources (tofu and chickpeas), 2 carbs (rice and orzo), and 1 sauce (tahini). Then, I mix and match my plates differently every day. Because, yes… I just can’t eat the same thing twice 🥲 It’s my little annoying quirk… but otherwise, I promise I’m super nice!

So, here are the elements to prepare:

•A baking tray with squash, chicken-style tofu, and chickpeas

•A pot of leek fondue

•A tahini sauce

You can also cook the rice and orzo ahead of time.

  • Preheat the oven to 205°C (400°F). Peel the squash and cut it into cubes.
  • Tear the tofu into chunks in a bowl. Add toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and nutritional yeast. Mix well.
  • On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the squash cubes on one side, the tofu chunks on another, and the chickpeas on a third. Drizzle the squash and chickpeas with a bit of oil and sprinkle with salt. Add paprika to the chickpeas. Bake for 35 minutes.
  • Thinly slice the leeks. In a saucepan, heat a drizzle of neutral oil and cook the leeks with a splash of water (125 mL, 1/2 cup). Let them cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes until they are soft and tender. Remove from heat and stir in the cream. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the rice and orzo separately in boiling water.
  • Prepare the sauce: mix all the ingredients together in a jar.
  • Store all the components in separate containers OR assemble your meal boxes however you like. Here are my 5 meals using this meal prep: (Of course, you can simplify by alternating Monday and Tuesday’s meals throughout the week.)
  • Monday: Bowl with chicken-style tofu, roasted squash, rice, mixed greens, and tahini sauce.
  • Tuesday: Bowl with orzo, leek fondue, roasted chickpeas, and tahini sauce.
  • Wednesday: Tacos with chicken-style tofu, mixed greens, corn, and tahini sauce.
  • Thursday: Chicken-style tofu in coconut curry sauce (reheat in a saucepan with coconut milk, curry powder, salt, and pepper), served with orzo and either roasted squash OR leek fondue.
  • Friday: Hearty soup with the leftovers (heat roasted chickpeas, leeks, orzo or rice in a saucepan with vegetable broth and soy cream).
