I cant be bothered to do a roast dinner, I'm bored with pasta and we've had lots of salads lately...I need inspiration for dinner please!

[TinyGang]

I want something very yummy for dinner with very little input. Any ideas?

Fish pie?

couscous with fresh herbs (basil/coriander/parsley is nice), a bit of pesto, red onion and peas mixed in it and melted cheese on top, with lovely roasted chunky vegetables (carrots/peppers/corn on cob/whatever) and simply grilled fish (or chicken)

we're having covent garden butternut squash soup and crusty bread. can't get much simplier than that! Dh is away, so only ds and I.

Hmm yes, I feel the need for something herby/ roast veggie.(mmmmm roast garlic)

what is in the cupboard?

Baked potatoes?

BBQ?

BBQ is a damn fine idea actually

ay thang yew

rice salad - nice nutyy brown rice and chopped up veg and fruit of whatever you fancy. stuff it all into pitta breads to serve. and add mayo if you like.
ideas to include
apple
cucumber
tomato
tuna
sweetcorn
avocado
spring onion
olives
capers
mushrooms

oh you get the gist...

Cod thing is v easy

cod steaks
prosciutto
olive oil
lemons
garlic
green beans

put green beans spread in large pan
wrap cod in prosc
cut up lemons into quarters, chuck in
break garlic into cloves, don't even take the skins off, chuck in
drizzle olive oil
cook 20 mins

easy and always gets compliments.

Mmmmmmmmm....I'm hungry now, these all sound like great ideas! If you've got time to go out, how about a big loaf of tiger bread to make doorstop sandwiches packed with yummy things!

Yes, you do need to tell us what you've got really. Assume can't be bothered precludes going to the shop

www's thing sounds 'licious.

WWW is the Cod thing a JOliver recipe cos I have made that before and it is yummy!

A chilli with french bread is really quick to make.You can get tiger bread baguettes, I love tiger bread!!

Not sure I approve of cooking our cod! Place wouldn't be the same without her (and I'd feel a bit cannibalistic!!)

Sounds yummy though!

Also like the sound of Greeny's suggestion. May do that today!

yy is Jamie although I think he might put pine nuts on it too, tis lovely

i think nigell has a version of the cod in how to cook, if you have that ng. it's lovely with puy lentils.
i'm having this today.
\link{http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/001828moroccan_chicken_with_lemon_and_olives.php}chicken with lemon and olives} don't have any preserved lemons but will improvise. with roast pepper and possibly a dab of rose harissa couscous.

sorry, can't get link to work but it's a marcella hazan.

Puy lentil salad also v easy

cook lentils
mix olive oil, lemon juice, thyme if you have it
add to lentils
add capers if you like
chillis if you like it hot
crumble feta over it

Wow...all fantastic ideas. Thanks!

I haven't got a lot in, but I can nip to the shop that's no problem. I'm veering towards roast vegetables/garlic with 'something' atm.

Wouldn't it be lovely to be living with one of those tv chefs on days like this? (Well, it'd be nice to have one on hand every day actually.)

Yes, our poor old cod gets enough roasting on here as it is
