Could we start a meal plan thread again, so it's not lost in the GC?

Smoosh

This week's plan:

1. Mozzarella, tomato (olio freebie), basil (home grown) and balsamic paninis (YS) with herby baby potatoes (YS)
2. Quorn spaghetti bolognese (sauce made using olio free tomatoes)
3. Pizzas made on wraps (cheese and olio tomatoes for me, bacon and mushroom for OH)
4. Veggie hot dogs (YS buns) and chips
5. OH is out, I'm having pasta
6. Fish and chips with my parents 
7. Veggie sausage "pie" (mashed potato top using YS mash) with green beans (YS) and broccoli

Tonight Hoisin and Cashew stir fry with noodles

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but as lots of you are well versed in different cuisines here goes.
I love Turkish food, probably one of my favourites, when we go to a restaurant I always have hallim, which is very like halloumi, but its served with what I think is falafel, but it's as if its sliced and then coated in sesame seeds and then maybe fried? It's really crispy but absolutely delicious. I have tried to recreate it using soaked chickpeas, that I have whizzed together before cooking and adding spices but I just cant get it to the standard of the restaurant. I'm sure it's not just because someone has cooked for me. 

Does anyone have any recipes please?

Think I stuck to last week’s plan, seems ages ago.

I planned this week in two halves as had visitors for some of it so waited to see what needed eating before planning the rest of the week 🙃. So, from Saturday:

Sat - salmon, new potatoes, veg, cream cheese and pesto sauce 
Sun - roast chicken garden salad (fab BBC Good Food recipe)
Mon - chicken, Parma ham and mushroom pasta with veg
Tues - chicken and Parma ham salad, new potatoes 
Wed - tuna and broccoli pesto pasta 
Thurs - cod with mornay sauce, new potatoes, broccoli 
Fri - scampi, chips and peas 

Should make it to the weekend with no further shopping 🤞

Tuna anchovy olive linguine
bbq pork and salad
keralan fish and coconut stir fry (bit of an experiment as original recipe calls for prawns and I’ll be using basa fillets) x 2
Fish and turlu turlu (recipe shamelessly pinched from earlier in this thread) x 2

Thanks, not tried there but have done a lot of googling. I believe I need to use chickpeas soaked overnight but then rinse them and blend them before cooking, something very new to me. 

Anyway this weeks meal plan.

Sun : slowcooker brisket, actifry roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings from freezer. With veg and gravy.

Mon salad nicoise,  tuna and salmon and maybe some prawns. 

Tues : couscous and vege kebabs and I have some frozen chicken ones. With pitta bread.

Wed. Chicken wraps and salad. Vege ones for me.

Thurs chilli con quorn with rice.

Fri fish.
