Salads...mmm... how about a really good Salad Nicoise with rare char grilled tuna steak and soft quails eggs. Costs about 50p more per portion than the run of the mill tinned tuna and hens eggs but it makes £10 difference :-)
Agreed. But I'd ditch the quail eggs. They look pretyt but are FAR too fiddly for my liking. I'll do them to impress. For weekday food, stick with hens...Hob cooking, and this is just from my list of meals for the family during the working week, you would need the recipes although a quick google on most of the below should bring up various receipes - so how about:
Sausages and mash, onion/red wine and red onion/red onion marmalade jus/gravy/sauce
Gammon/Ham (on the bone), eggs and chips (pineapple ring for that 70's feel!)
Sausage/Chorizo, pasta (add tom's, red wine, paprika, black olives, onions, basil etc.)
Steak and (blue cheese sauce, romesco sauce, peppercorn sauce) with sauted potatoes, spinach
Omelette with (ham, bacon, mushrooms, peppers, onions, chilli's etc.)
Diced chicken breast, pasta, numerous possible sauces - arribiata, red wine, mushrooms, cream, brandy, etc.
Spaghetti Carbonara
Meatballs, with (red wine, passata, single cream, chilli powder, worcester sauce, sugar) sauce, taglitelle
Risotto's - mushrooms/asparagus/spring veg/chicken/ham/bacon etc.
Potato and leek soup with smoked bacon
Carrot and Coriandor Soup
French Onion soup with guyere croutons
Pork Chops with balsamic vinegar, black olives, mustard, with olive oil mash
Chilli Con Carne - mince, onion, cumin, coriander, tin of toms, garlic puree, 70% cocoa chocolate, mixed beans i.e. blackeyed, harricott, borlotti or whatever, beef stock, cornflour if it all gets too loose
Could go on an on, but hope it provides some ideas.
