The new Lidl leaflet has great prices on fresh mussels and family packs of chicken this week. I decided to plan four quick dinners around these offers and some seasonal greens. Everything is straightforward and keeps cooking simple on busy school nights.
Steamed Mussels with Crusty Baguette
From the Lidl leaflet
- Zeeland Jumbo Mussels, 2 x 1 kg: €7.99 (was €15.98, 50% off)
- White baguette, 2 x 250 g: €0.99 (was €1.38, 28% off)
Shopping for this dish: €8.98 at Lidl, about 20 minutes in the kitchen, 2 servings.
Mussels feel fancy, but they are cheap this week and take almost no time to cook. From your pantry, grab an onion, garlic cloves, olive oil, water, black pepper, and a lemon.
- Clean 1 kg of Zeeland jumbo mussels and discard any broken shells.
- Heat 20 ml of olive oil in a large pot, then soften 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves for 3 minutes.
- Add the cleaned mussels and 100 ml of water, cover tightly, and steam over high heat for 6 minutes until opened.
- Slice half of a white baguette into rounds and toast lightly in a dry pan.
- Finish the mussels with a squeeze of lemon and freshly ground black pepper, then serve hot with the toasted bread.
Chicken Cubes with Brussels Sprouts and Bacon
From the Lidl leaflet
- Dulano Breakfast Smoked Bacon, 150 g: €2.39 (40% off)
- Brussels Sprouts XXL, 1 kg: €1.99 (was €3.05, 34% off)

Brussels sprouts are in season right now, and cooking them with bacon keeps them from tasting boring. You only need oil, salt, black pepper, mustard, and water from the kitchen cupboard.
- Trim and halve 300 g of brussels sprouts, then cut 75 g of smoked bacon into strips.
- Heat 10 ml of oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crisp.
- Add 400 g of chicken cubes, season with salt and pepper, and brown for 6 minutes.
- Toss in the halved brussels sprouts and 50 ml of water, cover the pan, and simmer for 8 minutes until tender.
- Stir in 15 g of mustard, cook uncovered for 2 minutes to glaze, and serve immediately.
Smoked Salmon and Avocado Salad
From the Lidl leaflet

- Mini Avocados, 700 g: €2.19 (was €2.95, 25% off)
Shopping for this dish: €6.16 at Lidl, about 15 minutes in the kitchen, 2 servings.
This is a great dinner for lazy evenings when nobody wants to turn on the stove for long. Check your shelves for olive oil, a lemon, salt, and black pepper.
- Place 125 g of baby spinach into a large salad bowl.
- Peel and slice 2 mini avocados, then tear 100 g of smoked salmon into bite size ribbons.
- Slice 150 g of white baguette and warm the slices gently in a skillet.
- Whisk 20 ml of olive oil with 10 ml of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Big bags of potatoes are on sale, so a hot pan of crispy hash works nicely for cold evenings. You will need oil, salt, black pepper, vinegar, and water from the cupboard.
- Peel 500 g of potatoes, cut them into small cubes, and boil in salted water for 8 minutes until tender.
