What is your signature dish?

RichardCeann

Every time I watch a cooking show or competition, the contestants or celebrity chefs always have a signature dish that they know like the back of their hand. It's their "I can make this beautifully without thinking" dish.


My grandmothers beef stew served with fresh homemade brown bread is mine.


What's yours?

Not an easy dish to perfect.

Fair play

A bowl of pasta.

Not sure I'd want to know anybody with a signature dish.

Why?

Something they cook really well each time they do it.

Nothing complicated, but I reckon I make a really good bolognese. And come on, who doesn't like bolognese?

Revenge.

I remember posters who slag me on here and wait for them to slip up with a typo or something and lol at them to myself. Don't even need to highlight the fact to them.

They just know.

I'm guessing it's best served cold? :pac:

Is it cheesecake?

I love cheesecake!

Raminahobbin

Veggie chilli.

Ohhh my recipe is the shít.

It's quite versatile too, can serve it in wraps/tacos, with rice, or just in a big bowl by itself. Goes with salsa, guacamole, hummus, cheese etc, and meat eaters can mix some bacon bits or whatever through it.

I make a nice big pot of it whenever I have company over, and everyone loves it.

clappyhappy

Lamb shank tagine with cous cous, followed with Apple tart tatin. Always a winner!!

Want your recipe

I'll make it if you try my Harisa:)

NachoBusiness

Thai Curry.

But only cause it's a cinch.

Dips.

If my house parties can be said to have shown anything about me - or if there were anything useful that could be written upon my grave stone -here lies a man who knew how to make good dips.

Salsa, Corn Salsa, Guacc. Buffalo Humm. S/C Humm., White bean dip, black bean dip, Spinach dip, mint dips, pina colada dip, smashed chick pea dip, lemon juice tartare, Just DIPS

Did I mention dips?

TheLastMohican

Plain Lamb or Goat curry with Pilau Rice and make sure there is enough left over for breakfast.

Paramite Pie

I've a few dishes I can whip up of the top of me head,

Cajun spice (my own mix) chicken, bacon & prawns stir fry with a white wine & cream sauce. Served with pasta (and veg). Yum!:D

Chilli Con Carne ; a classic and easy to remember.

Fajitas sauce made with pineapple juice, chicken stock & tomato puree. Not from a recipe, just my own concoction and I never measure. Standard mexican seasoning on the meat/veg and then this simple sauce.

Oyaku Don ; chicken & scallions/leeks cooked in some sake, with a seaweed broth & raw(ish) egg sauce served over a bowl of rice. Drizzle a bit of sesame oil & soy sauce over.

Yeah I made a paste once (turned out amazing!) but it's not something I'd do frequently. Kept for a lot longer than the store bought one though..

circadian

Bibimbap. The great thing is I can cook it for vegans/vegetarians/meat lovers at the same time with the tinest tweaks.

Handy.

Subcomandante Marcos

I do a pretty baller Roast chicken dinner.

OneOfThem

I make a pretty savage sweet potato and chorizo risotto.

Red Kev

Tagliatelli with Puttanesca sauce (lit. Whores sauce). Cheap, quick and easy to make. Low calorie as well. Home made pasta if possible.

As with all Italian dishes there's loads of versions of it. This is a good one:

osarusan

I've turned many heads and won many hearts with my crisp sandwiches.

Banjo String

Sky digital.

I hang it out the front of the house I'm so proud of it.

kylith

Sukiyaki; Japanese hotpot. Deceptively complicated looking, and very tasty.

Menas

Thai red curry. I have mine down to a fine art now. Would love one right now.

Shenshen

West African peanut stew.

The simplest of recipes, but I've yet to meet someone who won't have a second helping of it.

Sir Osis of Liver.

Packs of Tayto Cheese and Onion,poured into plastic bowls.

I have a recipe for that, I must give it a go.

Menas

I am watching this seasons 'great british bake off'. Some of the stuff they bake looks absolutely amazing...wish I could be that creative (in the kitchen).

I want to make everything that they make on it, but my problem is I live alone and my friends are generally on diets or don't eat cake so whenever I bake I wind up with an entire bloody cake that I have to eat all by myself.

You need new friends! HINT HINT!

kylith

Do you, by any chance, like cake Menas?

Does a cake/dessert count as a signature dish, mine is a sour cream chocolate cake its divine and easy enough to make except you have to be careful with timing it in the oven because it can go form moist to dry very quickly.

My husband make a fantastic roast beef with all the trimming years of practise means he has it off perfect, and he does a fantastic lasagne as well.

Maybe....yes! And I can wash dishes too.

I make mean Chilli Con Carne, with stuff you wouldn't expect to see in there such as a little wasabi. I don't do that much any more, however, because I'm trying to eat a bit more healthily.

So these days I'm getting good at making my own sushi. Partiucularly makizushi, the seaweed rolls. I only use smoked fish: using raw fish is risky if you don't know what you're doing. A bit like this:

I must say I do a bloody good Cacio e Pepe http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/cacio-e-pepe

Also like stuffed mushrooms (dont know the official name for it ... ) http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/italian-stuffed-mushrooms-107837

Is the answer 'Gazpacho' Alex?

magicmushroom

I don't care that I'm blowing my own trumpet here, but I do an AMAZING roast dinner.

Everything else I cook is just average, but I honestly think I've perfected the roast. The only person I feel could beat me in a roast off is my Nan (if she were still here) but other than that, mine would beat anyone's hands down :P

It's all in the spuds!
