Why these recipes

Recipes are chosen to maximize shared ingredients, keep the shopping list short, minimize leftovers from whole-unit items (e.g. pairing a recipe needing 1.5 cans of beans with one using 0.5), and favor pairs that use the same protein cooked the same way so you can batch-cook it once — while keeping variety: no repeated or near-duplicate dish, and at most two dinners per cuisine.

This week reuses about 24% of ingredients (25 distinct items across 33 recipe slots), spanning 3 proteins and 0 cuisines.

Shared ingredients — prep once, use across recipes

These ingredients appear in multiple dinners. Where the prep matches, do it all at once (e.g. mince the whole head of garlic up front) to simplify the week's cooking.

lemon×4zested — prep once for all 4: do it together to save a step
garlic×2prepared as minced, peeled, minced
green onion×2prepared as minced, finely sliced
parsley×2prepared as chopped, minced

Likely leftovers — turn them into lunch or a snack

These perishable ingredients usually leave a little behind. Ideas to use them up (spices, oils, and vinegars are excluded):
