As the of August 5th approaches, many people will be looking for something new and exciting to cook for their friends and family. There are numerous dishes that can be prepared using the fresh produce of this season, and here are some ideas to get you started.

For the main course, you could try making grilled lamb chops with a rosemary and garlic marinade. Simply combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl, and use this to coat the lamb chops. Leave them to marinate for at least an hour or overnight in the fridge. When it’s time to cook them, preheat your grill or pan and cook the chops for 3-4 minutes per side, they’re cooked to your liking.

Another meaty option is to make a pulled pork sandwich using a slow cooker. Rub a boneless pork shoulder with a dry spice mixture of smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook the pork in the slow cooker for 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high, with some apple cider vinegar and water. Once it’s done, shred the pork using two forks and serve it in a soft bread roll with some coleslaw or pickles for added flavor and texture.

If you’re looking for a meat-free option, try making a veggie-packed quiche using zucchini, corn, and cherry tomatoes. You can use a pre-made pie crust or make your own from scratch using flour, salt, butter, and ice water. Sauté the diced zucchini, corn kernels, and halved cherry tomatoes in a pan until they’re slightly softened, then add them to the pie crust. Pour a mixture of eggs, milk, shredded cheese, and salt and pepper over the veggies and bake in the oven at 375°F for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown.

For a refreshing side dish, consider making a watermelon and feta salad with a honey and lime dressing. Cut some seedless watermelon into cubes and place them in a bowl with crumbled feta cheese and sliced red onion. In a separate bowl, whisk together some freshly squeezed lime juice, honey, and olive oil to make the dressing. Pour this over the salad and toss everything together. Garnish with chopped mint or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Finally, for dessert, indulge in some peach cobbler using fresh peaches and homemade biscuit dough. Cut some ripe peaches into slices and mix them with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Pour this into a baking dish and top with small rounds of biscuit dough, which you can make by whisking together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Bake in the oven at 375°F for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

These are just a few ideas for what to cook on the weekend of August 5th. Feel free to experiment with different flavors and ingredients to make these dishes your own. Happy cooking!
