Please suggest some meals to make from my new veg / meat box

[beadyboo]

I've signed up to a trial of a veg & meat delivery box in attempt to help me to vary my shopping/ cooking habits.
I feel like I make the same half a dozen meals over and over again.
I need some inspiration and have the following parameters to work within.

• I follow (ish) a SlimmingWorld diet, so not much bread / fat
• DH has high cholesterol
• meals to feed 2 adults and 2 primary aged DC

I'm trying to not make chilli / spag bol / cottage pie for a few weeks as we've had this a lot recently. I'll post the contents of the box in a comment below. Please make some suggestions to help get me out of my menu rut. I cook from scratch most nights and don't tend to like preprepared sauces but I'm not a chef by any stretch and need to prepare in advance or cook within 30-45 mins. Thank you

Thank you all. Food box has arrived and it looks amazing. I'm actually quite excited about cooking this week.
Spicy parsnip soup is on the hob right now.

Try some curries/tagines? There are loads of different herb and spice combos that you can apply to the same vegetables and meat for variety.

Roasted cauliflower in white wine cream sauce.

Poach whole cauliflower in 300ml white wine, with peppercorns, bay leaves, and some garlic topped up with boiling water so it's covered and simmer for about 20 mins. Then remove from liquid and place in roasting tray, brush with beaten egg, top with parmesan and roast in oven for 25 mins til golden.

Make sauce from 1 shallot, diced, 50ml wine, 300g cheese, 125ml double cream, 2 spring onions, sliced.

Fry shallot til softened, add wine and reduce by 1/3, then add cream and cheese and stir til thickened, then add spring onions. Once cauliflower is cooked, serve with sauce over the top. You could have it with the chicken fillets wrapped in bacon.

Could I be nosey and ask how much the boxes cost and where you got them from? They sound really nice and I'd be interested to know. Thanks.

Thanks again.
Dreaming, it was from a company called Bearfaced. I'm not sure if they deliver nationwide but I think they're based in Manchester.
They were doing a deal of £10 off, but including delivery (£4.95 if you spend less than £80) it was £45.
I'm nothing whatsoever to do with them, I just spotted an advert, but I am impressed with them so far.

chciken breast wrapped in bacon
sweat down onions and garlic add some cubed potatos stir through some cream or crème fraiche and the bacon serve with fish or pork
or replace the bacon here for butter beans and some pesto and serve ith roast veggies and lamb chops.yum

poach the fish and make a lovely fish pie,either mashing the potatos or just slicing along the top

Just looked at their site - looks great! They should pay you commission :-) Might give it a go!

So far I have made curried parsnip and ginger soup, the lean steak mince became burgers, a chicken tikka masala and tonight I have defrosted a salmon fillet, added it to the haddock and watercress and made a fish pie.
I've bought some Palma ham and we're having saltimbocca tomorrow evening as I have more time to faff in the kitchen.
Thanks again for your suggestions I'm hoping to get out of this food rut soon.

Parsnip soup

Leek, haddock, potato gratin

Bacon and broccoli quiche

I make a sort of cauliflower/mac and cheese hybrid with bacon that goes down quite well with my lot.
Steak you could slice up for fajitas.
Not sure if your haddock is smoked but I like to make kedgeree with mine.

Saltimbocca was lovely, would highly recommend. Lamb chops were just fried and served with roasted veg.
Next box is coming in a week. I've gone for a meat only this time, so I may be back for more suggestions. Thanks all.

A mixed vegetable bake with a cheese sauce is so tasty. If you are making your own sauce infuse the milk with bay leaf, onion, thyme, it makes a difference. I don't bother making a roux, I thicken with cornflour. On its own or as a side dish.

Pork loin with mushroom & stilton sauce/veg
