Collage of images including grilled harissa chicken skewers on a platter, yellow rice in a pot, cucumber radish salad in a bowl and roasted potatoes on a tray.

Each of my meal plans includes a main, side, salad or appetizer, as well as any complementary sauces or condiments. If the main is large enough to stand on its own, I’ll include a dessert that I think will go perfectly with it!

My goal? to give you a ready-to-use plan so you don’t have to stress about pairings. I take the guesswork out of it! The recipes are all linked below, you can view them on your computer, tablet, phone or print them. Let’s get into it!

Why This Meal Plan Works

Harissa Chicken Skewers bring North African heat and depth to the grill. The harissa paste infuses the chicken with a complex, smoky spice that develops beautifully over the flame.
Mediterranean Yellow Rice with Turmeric is a natural partner. It’s one of my favorite rice recipes.
Cucumber Radish Feta Salad provides the cooling contrast the heat of the harissa demands: crisp, refreshing, and gently salty from the feta.
Batata Harra (Spicy Lebanese Potatoes) round out the menu.
