Meal inspiration please

[Globules]

I've now got an overnight guest on Christmas Day evening/Boxing Day.

They won't want feeding aside a share of the cheeseboard on Cmas Day.

Any ideas for quick and easy food I can make Christmas Eve and leave in the fridge for 2 days?

I want to give the idea I've not gone to much bother, but also want to secretly impress. Meats and cheeses on the table is not what I'm thinking. More a bowlful of hearty food I can serve up.

Please throw easy recipes my way that suit the brief.

Curry or chilli will both benefit from 2 days in the fridge. They always taste miles better the day after it's made.

Or chicken and chorizo stew. I'm trying to think of meals that are quite different to Christmas lunch. Not sure I'd want a gravy and potato based meal again.
This recipe is similar to one I make (I chuck in what I have, I don't follow a recipe).
