Easy main course

[cesy]

Does anyone have a favourite easy main course, to cook when you're short of spoons for anything fancy? I'd like to learn more things that are nearly as easy as a ready meal, while not being a ready meal.

I like the idea of grating the ginger frozen, but I want to know what you do with the skin? Do you keep it?

I wipe the ginger clean before freezing, then grate it without peeling. With my grater the thinner, tender skin grates along with the insides but the tougher skin stays intact (as do the tougher fibers if the ginger is older).

I have a small hand grater with a handle by KitchenAid. It's the kind with very small holes for grating hard cheeses, I think.
