Today's recipes get the cook in and out of the kitchen fast. Each of the recipes has only five ingredients. Sarah starts with London broil with crispy potatoes and peppers. Tender, juicy steak is rubbed with paprika and accompanied by potatoes that are soft inside but browned to a delicious crisp outside. Today's "Have You Tried?" ingredient is goat cheese. Emma adds this soft, luscious cheese to pasta with roasted asparagus. Lucinda's lamb chops with tomato-artichoke sauté and pistachio sauce may sound complicated, but the flavors are clean and simple. Sarah introduces some exotic flavors to weeknight dinner with curried chicken legs with carrots and rice. Even dessert can be made with just five ingredients. Allie's decadent flourless chocolate cake has a crunchy crust with a moist, fudgy interior.
