Things I MUST cook tomorrow!

A question about : Things I MUST cook tomorrow!

After a quick reccy of the fridge I've got

50g Mexican cheese
1 x butternut squash
1 x melon
Chicken thighs
1 x sage roasted butternut squash (m and s can't be frozen so will need to be eaten tomorrow)
Spinach
1 x gem lettuce very tired looking
4 x courgettes
3 heads of brocolli which are yellowing

I really would like to use this all up tomorrow but struggling for ideas. I can cook something and reheat for Monday's lunch and dinner but all the above needs to be used.

Butternut squash I can roast and bake cakes with.
Melon will eat
Sage roasted butternut squash for dinner with chicken thighs and roasted vegetables?

So Mexican cheese, broccoli (week old St least) needs to be eaten

I've also got a white cabbage to do something with and then I also got Jerusalem artichokes in yesterday's veg box!

Help meeeeee

Best answers:

• Sage and butternut squash makes a fantastic risotto. Basmati rice will work if you don't have risotto rice. Google will throw up a good few recipes
  Lettuce, half, sweat of in some butter, add peas and chicken stock, delish side dish
  Courgette and cheese soup, usually uses cheddar but the mex stuff will work just as well, just season as needed
• Broccoli - I'd make a big pot of soup. I'm not a huge fan of single veg soups. One I like is a head of broccoli with a head of cauliflower. But to use veg up, I'd go for two heads of broccoli.

  - I did this with broccoli and served with some rice I think. It was absolutely delicious. But I've no off button, I ended up with tummy ache as I kept going back to eat more and ended up eating a whole head of broccoli in one evening.
  Lettuce - could be added to soups. Though I'm not a huge fan. I'd break in to small pieces for a salad, but pop it in to a bowl of iced water for a few minutes and dry off. This re-freshes the leaves, makes them crunchier. Throw on a dressing and you're sorted.
  White cabbage - shred and use for stir fries or coleslaw. It keeps for quite a while, so no rush here. I like to have a tub of pre-prepared veggies in fridge to quickly stir fry up or steam for breakfast/lunch/dinner - I just add eggs, or beans, chicken, what ever I have handy. I would blanch them for 3 minutes or so, stick in to cold water and they're ready for heating up at a moments notice.
  Jerusalem artichokes - We roasted them, for a little longer than intended, and the rest of the veg carrots etc.. got a little burnt, but these went all sticky and yummy. Absolutely delicious. I also had Jerusalem Artichoke soup at the weekend in a restaurant, it had safron and a small bit of lemon, glazed pears as a garnish - I had to take a photo of the menu so I'd remember it as it was so nice.
  Chicken thighs - take say 2 tbs of honey and 2 tbs of whole grain mustard and coat thighs. I added some veg to the dish also (artichokes could work well here , but cut in to smaller pieces, or the BNS from M+S) roast @ approx 180 for 40 min or so. Really nice. Recipe I had was 4 tbs each of honey/mustard for 8-10 thighs, so scale up/down as you need. It said to baste a couple of times when cooking, I didn't really get to do so.
  BNS - I'd keep this and roast next time you've oven on, but i'm a huge fan of butternut squash soup. Or I'll just eat it with anything.
  I'm not a huge fan of courgettes on their own. I enjoy them roasted, with say a splash of balsamic vinegar on them, but generally I'd prefer them roasted with other veggies such as onions/peppers/aubergine. Or I put them in to a ratatouille. But I guess I'd happily stick them in a soup.
  Hope this gives you some ideas!
• I'd use the broccoli, courgette and lettuce to do a bit of a salad.
  Keep your lettuce raw and shred it, use that as a base. Then cut your broccoli into small florets, and cut the courgette into strips with a peeler. Stir fry the broccoli and courgette for a couple of minutes in a little oil (and also chuck in some chopped garlic if you have it). Tip on top of the lettuce. Stuff your face
  I think this would work as a side dish alongside the chicken thighs roasted like FrugalWorker says above (I don't often cook meat so I have no useful suggestions here!). You could also have the M&S squash with it too. It'd easily do you a couple of meals
