What is your signature dish?

RichardCeann · 28-08-2015 12:50AM #1

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!

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 · 28-08-2015 01:46AM

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:)

Thai Curry.

But only cause it's a cinch.

28-08-2015 02:11AM

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 · 28-08-2015 02:13AM

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

Paramite Pie · 28-08-2015 03:52AM

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..

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 · 28-08-2015 04:34AM

I do a pretty baller Roast chicken dinner.

OneOfThem · 28-08-2015 05:44AM

I make a pretty savage sweet potato and chorizo risotto.

Red Kev · 28-08-2015 07:06AM

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:

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

What is your signature dish?
