    I always make a nice big bulky curry (Indian or Thai) and eat it for a couple days - can basically pack whatever veg you want into it.

    Indian - tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, capsicum, okra, chilli, garlic, spinach, cauliflower, peas, chickpeas, cabbage...yum!

    Thai curries - tomatoes, sweet potatoes, baby corn, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, mangetout, sugarsnap peas, peas, carrots, bak choy, courgette, aubergine, coconut, mushrooms, ginger.

    You can buy pastes fairly cheaply, if doing all the spices seems too much - just watch out for ones with MSG for the Thai ones. Steer away from cooking sauces - these are packed full of preservatives, sodium and fat. Just get a paste and add either tinned tomatoes or coconut cream/milk.

    If I didn't stuff dinners with veggies, my husband wouldn't eat them!
