Hi Zephyrus and all,
So sorry to reply so late. Only just log in.
My hubby is like yours. Also quite fussy with food
Anyway, my few favourite western easy to cook are as follows:
chicken baked rice
baked herbed fish fillet
black pepper chicken fillet with cream pasta
rib eye steak
chicken baked rice:
scald brocoli and chicken
cook rice
put the rice in a pan, place chicken on top with the brocoli at the perimeter, top it with button mushroom, cream of mushroom soup(I use Campbells) mozarella cheese and some parmesan cheese
baked in oven for abt 10 mins. Must monitor to prevent it from being burnt.
baked herbed fish fillet
mix bread crumbs (I use the Jap type from NTUC) with some olive oil, salt, oregano, thyme, sage, black pepper
coat fish fillets with this mix and bake in oven for abt 10-15mins. Add tartar sauce when serving.
black pepper chicken fillet with cream pasta
season chicken fillet with black pepper and salt and stir fry.
I use the pasta from NTUC. Those packed type which has the sauce in powder form and the pasta all in the pack. Then pour all the contents in a pot of boiling water and add milk.
rib eye steak
This is my favourite.
chop the beef with back of knife to loosen beef.
marinate steak with red cooking wine and black pepper. I usually marinate overnite for best effects.
Add oil and fry mushrooms. then dish up mushrooms and fry beef abt 3-5min depending on heat, thickness of beef and how well done u like it.
I bought the steak sauce (bottle form) from cold storage. Just pour it in the pot with any remaining juices and pour over steak and mushrooms.
Let me know if u need further info.
