Cooking can be a real hassle for many people. Balancing all the aspects of a dish can be stress-inducing, and a lot of us don’t want to make all that effort when cooking for ourselves. However, when cooking for other people you often want to present a meal that looks and tastes amazing. This doesn’t mean you have to put loads of effort and energy in though, and there are plenty of delicious meals which are very impressive yet super simple to make. Here are a few options to consider the next time you want to impress your guests.
Baked Feta Pasta
This idea went viral a few years back and for a very good reason. This dish is so easy to prepare yet has mouthwatering results. The basic concept is to bake a block of feta in an oven dish. You can add various ingredients you like, such as tomatoes, onion, and basil. Once this has all baked and melted to perfection, stir through some cooked pasta for the creamiest, tangiest meal ever.
Peanut Stir Fry
Stir-fries are one of the easiest meals to throw together but can be the most exciting and delicious flavor explosions. Using peanut butter to make a sauce will give you restaurant-like results with no effort. Stir fry your choice of veggies and protein, and whip up a delicious sauce by blending peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, harissa paste, and a splash of water. Serve the stir-fry with rice or noodles and drizzle over the creamy, delicious sauce.
