Help receipe ideas needed

Does your husband enjoy takeaways? If so, think about what dishes he would have from them. So like for example, chicken or pork stir fry with noodles etc.

Is there particular things he used to eat at home in his childhood that he might want you to have a go at cooking?

What about trying something different, maybe steak, duck, venison, veal etc. Get beef sausages rather than pork, still a simple flavour but very different. Would he entertain a vegetarian meal?

Meatballs from the sausage meat are dead easy, chill for 30 minutes once you've made them. Personally I add garlic, herbs, a little corn meal and tomato pur!e. Mix together, shape and chill then fry and add a pasta sauce. You could try chicken pasta also.

What about fish dishes? Even if it's just a cod fillet steamed with parsley butter. It's simple but lovely.

Get him to decide what he wants to try, and if he doesn't want to give you an answer quit cooking or at least cook what you do and leave him to eat it or not.

You could split open 3 sausages and mix it with onion and dry stuffing mix. Then use it to either make pies or pasties or add a lump of cheese to the middle and grill as burgers to serve in pitta breads.

You can also make a sausage plait with sausage meat, onion and made up stuffing mix, just wrap in some puff pastry , brush with milk and bake. My OH loves this, I'll be making it on Thursday and then we'll have leftovers cold for lunch on Saturday. Sainsbobs lemon and thyme stuffing is very good in it

Another thing he loves is the 'bake in the bag' paprika chicken, good with chicken breast but better with thighs

Pork chop parcels. Slice some onions, potatoes and apples.
Lay a square of tin foil per person. Grease it with a little butter. Layer the sliced potatoes and onions and apple. Put a pork chop on top and season. Pull the tinfoil together to make a parcel and bake in oven for an hour to an hour and a half.
With the chicken Delia does a one pot dish that has chicken rice chorizo and peppers. Sorry can't put a link as I'm on my phone.
What about taking the sausages out of the skins and making a spicy meat loaf.

I second meatballs made with sausages. The pork chops topped with apple sauce and cheese is good too - also nice topped with caramelised onion chutney and cheese. And chicken curry for the chicken bits? Always a winner in out house. I use lots of veg and/or lentils to bulk it out a bit.
