Brush eggplant slices with olive oil and grill until tender. Stack them with juicy tomato rounds and drizzle with a quick basil oil blitzed in a blender. A sprinkle of sea salt is all you need. Serve alongside grilled shrimp for added protein or enjoy as a standalone vegetarian dish.

Sear chicken thighs skin-side down until crisp, then add small potato cubes and sliced garlic. Finish in the oven so everything cooks through together. Deglaze with lemon juice and a splash of stock for an instant pan sauce. One skillet, zero hassle.

Swap Arborio rice for nutty farro to boost fiber and texture. Simmer in vegetable broth while stirring occasionally until tender and creamy. Fold in diced tomatoes and fresh basil for summery flavor. A handful of Parmesan ties it all together without heavy cream.
