I'm stuck in what to cook my man and really want to impress him.
Do you have any recipes HE absolutely loves? i just find the great ones i love he doesn't think much of and would love to hear what you cook your many that he keeps asking for?
What is he into?
I find that you cant go past a great steak, with prawns and garlic sauce. I find that guys tend ot like the simpler things - a really beautiful homemeade chicken kiev or lasagne.
My DF's fav is chicken parmigiana..however I have never made it for him...Lol.
Although I did make homemade pizzas a little while ago (normally we would just get Dominos) and he loved them, I think that's the first time he has ever requested a certain meal for dinner, he's asked for them again about 3 times!
My husband is a demon for what I call 'dirty' food - devilled sausages & mash, baked lamb shanks, a good home made meat pie, potato bake He's such a bloke...
My hubby loves devilled sausages too.
I fry some onion and a peeled, cored and sliced apple until they are soft.
Put them aside.
Brown the sausages.
Add the onions and apple back to the snags.
Add some curry powder (just the keens brand) I use about 2 teaspoons (1 heaped teaspoon, it's not spicy)
Then I add a good squirt of tomato sauce (pretty well squirt it all over the pan)
Then enough water to make it kind of saucy.
I let it stew for a bit to cook the snags
then serve it with mashed spuds and some peas yummmo!!
I also make these lamb chops which are his other (more time consuming to prepare) fave
Put some lamb chops flat in a baking tray
Sprinkle with a packet of french onion soup (about half the pack for 6 chops)
pour some water into the pan about half way up the chops
cover with foil and bake in a slow oven for 2 hrs
Serve with mashed spuds, roasted pumpkin and greens
Don't forget the mint jelly.
MMM Perfecto!!
Can't go wrong with a good bolognese or lasagne too
My DH's favourites include Coq Au Vin (chicken in redwine glaze-style sauce). He loves rustic old-fashioned cooking... and is very grateful when I cook any recipe from his collection of Elizabeth David country French recipes. During the last cold snap I made Gratin Potatoes from ED's book and he loved it... Gratin is very thinly sliced potato fanned out in layers and cooked in a cream cheese sauce... he adored that... he has Irish blood though and have a love affair with the potato!
