one of my fav recipes which I like to claim as my own is a chorizo paella. Chop some chorizo sausage into smallish chunks. Then I gently fry some onions and a clove of garlic until softish then I add some red and green peppers and cook those. Meanwhile I have some rice cooking to which I have added some turmeric powder to the water. When the rice is cooked, drain and add to the pan of veggies, mix thoroughly and then add the chorizo and heat through. You could adapt this recipe to include other veggies such as peas, sweetcorn etc or leave out those that you don't like.

Loads of stir-frys for me....peppers, onions, mushrooms, beanprouts, water chestnuts, mini corn on the cob, courgettes, tomatoes, slices of pineapple or peaches and anything else you can get.
Stir fry in olive oil, maybe a bit of terryaki sauce or some soy sauce and honey and then add some cooked meat such as chicken breast or pork. Chuck in loads of mediteranean herbs too.
Serve with new potaotes

Another nice meal that my ex cooked me while we were at Uni was Chicken in soy sauce with rice, what you do is cut up a chicken breast into strips, put in a bowl cover with soy sauce, cover and put in the fridge for an hour to marinade. While it�s in the fridge chop up some red pepper and mushrooms.
Put on the rice, while its cooking get the chicken out the fridge, and put into a hot pan (no need for oil cause the soy sauce stops it sticking), when the chicken is just about cooked add the peppers and mushrooms, these should then cook and be ready when the rice is. Put on a plate and add a touch more soy sauce over the rice.
Really easy and very quick.
