One Pan, Two Plates

One Pan, Two Plates

Tried and tested during the long weekend, this flavourful recipe for Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce and Summer Squash Hash calls for accessible ingredients and requires less than 40 minutes of your time. A resourceful cookbook One Pan, Two Plates is a current favourite for the wide range of recipes and, as the title reveals, each dish serves two or three depending on the individual portion.
