YURA'S MEALS-TO-GO

SOME HIGHLIGHTS from this week’s Meals-to-Go:  

We pair ripe pineapple with a particularly sweet and floral kind of muskmelon, to make the Melon-Pineapple Salsa topper for Monday’s Baja-Style Sea Bass. At once crisp as a cucumber but sugary as the best honeydew, Hami melon makes this flash-roasted fish fillet singularly refreshing. Set on a “salad” of simple seared red cabbage and onion, it’s practically a deconstructed fish taco—minus the tortilla. Served with Coconut Rice and Sautéed Peppers. 

Summer Succotash starts with farm stand ingredients so good that they barely need cooking: quick-blistered cherry tomatoes, sheared corn, and sweet-as-can-be sugar snaps, seasoned with snipped marjoram and basil, and roasted mixed peppers. What makes this dinner, are the skewers of Grilled Shrimp perched on top—basted over the grill with olive oil, oregano, and garlic. Accompanied by Lemon-Roasted Yukon Gold Potatoes. 

Fourth of July means the fun’s just getting started, so we’re packing this meal with fireworks of flavor. Key to Wednesday’s irresistible Roasted Chicken is its tangy lime-garlic-cumin marinade, and dusting of “taco” seasoning. Grilled Street Corn Salad riffs off that heavenly combo-on-a-cob, elotes—fresh corn charred on the grill then slathered with a spiked sour-cream rub and crumbled savory cheese. A second side, Cornmeal-Crusted Fried Polenta, triples the corn fun. The whole deal comes with mild Pico de Gallo, and a splash of Green Sauce that doesn’t hold back. 

You’ll find nothing hot and spicy about our Indian-Spiced Salmon Cakes, just dazzling aromatic croquettes seasoned with ginger, curry, and cumin. The cakes come with a little cup of tangy Lime Aioli—and wait, there’s much more: The meal’s made complete with colorful Turmeric-Roasted Creamer Potatoes, and a refreshing Lemon Cucumber Salad garnished with Toasted Peanuts and Cilantro.

Attention all pavo-tarians! Turkey Lasagna proves this bird’s ability to step in for traditional carne in the most classic dishes you know. House-made sweet Italian turkey sausage and fresh ground meat are the foundation of a turkey Bolognese that layers this reliable favorite. Just novel enough to keep you jazzed, without straying too far from what you expect, and love most.
