To tempt a carnivore with tofu?

My DP is a committed carnivore but I’d like to eat more vegan/veggie food without us having to make 2 dinners when I do that. Is there any chance I can tempt him over with something deliciously tofu? I have found 2 nice recipes for tofu chilli and bolognaise but he wasn’t keen. Lots of the tofu recipes I’ve found either are deep fried or full of sugar, so not super healthy. Any ideas?!

YABU-DP will never eat vegan

YANBU- there’s hope

Tofu is rank. Why not try and tempt him with one of the many other delicious vegan foods available?

Fair enough. Any ideas?

Great minds think alike.

YABU with tofu, it's gross.

Personally as a meat eater I don't like the fake meat substitutes, the texture always seems off. I'm happy to eat veggie meals but just make them veggie, don't put fake meat in it.

Honestly tofu is rank. Meatless farms mince is good though as someone who can't stand that sort of thing I actually liked it in our most recent chilli for a change. I also hate lentils and chickpeas so don't bother trying him on those instead if he loves meat like me.
