A. Promise him a romantic home-cooked meal.
B. Make it all vegetarian.

He will eat it. He will appreciate it. He will agree that vegetables are important and acknowledge your concern that neither of you get enough of them. He will reiterate that he likes vegetables okay. He will thank you for your trouble and tell you that you are wonderful for making him such a nice meal.

But through the whole thing, he will still be looking around for the main course.
