10 Ingredient Shopping List 1
STEAK / CHICKEN /HUMMUS
This shopping list is the shortest of the collection. The go-to proteins in this collection of recipes are good old fashioned steak and chicken thigh fillets. Hummus has been included to add protein and substance to the ‘meat-free Monday’ vegetarian recipe of the group.
This shopping list, features salmon, prosciutto, chickpeas and parmesan. If you find it difficult to buy fresh fish, chicken breasts can be substituted in the two salmon recipes.
This it the vegetarian collection of the series. If you don’t have access to canned lentils, you can substitute cooked, dried lentils. We’ll be going into more detail on cooking lentils in module 5. but for now just cook them in boiling water like pasta until they are tender and use as per the recipe.
Feel free to play around with this shopping list to add variety. Any canned beans could be used in place of the white beans. Salmon or sardines would be lovely in place of the tuna. Even smoked mussels or oysters would work. And the beef could be replaces with lamb, pork or chicken. Endless possibilities.

I would be interested in trying at least one of these lists, but I have to cook food that appeals to my husband. I could get away with one or maybe two of these recipes in a week, but not with doing a whole week of them. So I am going to pass on this exercise. However, I think it’s a great idea for those who are not familiar with meal planning; it’s a good starting point.
ONe thing to think about is, maybe giving your husband the benefit of the doubt and trying something you might think he wouldn’t like. I do this with my Irishman all the time and am often surprised when he ends up enjoying it…
When you said you don’t use the shopping lists often because you find it too rigid, I almost skipped it. Rigid just doesn’t sound fun. Finally, I decided to try the first plan: steak, chicken, hummus. And I’m so glad I did.
Shopping took no time at all. Cooking the meals was similarly low-drama and absolutely delicious. As I’ve mentioned before I love to cook because I care about eating quality ingredients and these meals qualify, except the shopping took less time with less trips to the store.
This particular grouping of meals will go on the road with me so I can have a low-drama repertoire when helping a daughter with a new baby or a group of us meet for a family retreat. I know I can put it together anywhere when I don’t know the grocery stores or what pots and pans will be available. When the meals are not the main event as a new grandbaby is, why would I ever need to do anything different?
Jules, you’ve really simplified delicious! Thank you and I’m excited to continue the class (a little late)!
My first thought would be to just skip it and be very generous with seasoning the salmon.
You could try wrapping the salmon in grilled eggplant (aubergine) slices. Or if you have a mandoline finely slicing some zucchini and using that to wrap the salmon.
Hi Jules, good idea to check in with your goals. Thanks
Great Denise!
How are you tracking?

Wonderful Gaye!
Thanks for sharing your experience… Maybe I should have used one of my own shopping lists when I first had Fergal!
Will keep this in mind when (hopefully) we have another addition to the family.
And congratulations on your grand-baby! How exciting!

Hi, Jules,
I love salmon and so am drawn to those recipes. However, I don’t eat meat. What can I substitute for proscuitto?

Great question Teddie!
