According to your previous post, OP, your husband "likes very plain/mushy/gruel-like dishes. He hates tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, anything too exotic, capers, eggplant, zucchini, bone broth, coconut, any type of squash, many other things, etc.
Basically, he only eats lentils, rice, and onions. He doesn't even like salt or vinegar."
Are those still his food preferences? Is that something you both are eating for 4 years now?
We need to know to make the right suggestions. //www.city-data.com/forum/relat...rent-food.html
BTW: what does it mean your husband wants to eat this not that and won't allow meat in the house. I thought we discussed it on the above thread...
apples and onions are very nice with cabbage, a few rye seeds or grated fresh nutmeg are good if you like that flavor, and a dollop of sour cream on top once it's plated.
Kraut, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, S&P. My oma used to make a "Boiled Dinner". She didn't use kraut, but she did put meat in it. I suggested kraut to add some flavor to an otherwise bland dish. Might as well make "Stone Soup".
The only texture this adds is smoothness but I like to make cooked cabbage with a sharp cheese sauce. You can sprinkle the top with buttered bread crumbs or cracker crumbs and run it under the broiler for a little crunch.
Make your husband some plain ol' cabbage like he insists on, and then make yours any way you like it. Personally I love cabbage sauteed in bacon grease along with some onions and plenty of salt and pepper. Or boiled with a ham hock. Or with little pieces of bacon and/or ham in it, either boiled or sauteed. Dang, this is making me hangry, so I am going to make some sauteed cabbage TODAY. My husband loves it too.
Roasted wedges with olive oil, S & P and squeeze fresh lemon over it when it comes out.
If my husband dictated ridiculous dietary parameters he would be very hungry and lonely. You are not a toddler and can make your own decisions about what you want to eat. If he is a vegan eating a rare steak in front of him would be rude but it's unreasonable and unhealthy to simply have boiled cabbage for dinner 3 nights in a row. He sounds like a controlling jerk.
