BuffaloBill Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Do you cook? If so, what is your best dish or dishes? As for me, the answer is yes. As for the best I would have to say risotto. The repertoire goes far beyond this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I don’t know why, but I’m not a huge risotto fan. We went Christmas Day to a cool place working off a special menu. I got the lobster risotto special (aka find the lobster hunt). Still very rich. I’ll follow this thread, I want to know what these folks come up with! First go to idea is a sous vide beef tenderloin at 134 degrees, with roasted potatoes and grilled asparagus. Throw in a nice demi-glace and some creamed horseradish, everyone seems pleased. I have a brother in law who hopes I’ll do Bobby Flays Greek chicken every time he visits. I broke down the chicken the first time, but then I wised up. Publix breaks a chicken down for you. Thank you very much. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/butterflied-chicken-greek-style-recipe-1941166 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cripple Creek Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hmmmmm, how to answer....I'll give an outdoor option and an indoor one. Outside would be smoked brisket. Inside spaghetti sauce with homemade pasta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Yes, and quite well (comfort foods are my favorite). People learned to cook back in the day. There was none of this going out to eat five times a week. While I do cook, I am a (much) better baker. Hubby is an excellent cook, but a terrible baker. He does most of the cooking at our house. YAY!! His best dishes are his chicken salad (OMG! drool-worthy), beef brisket, crab salad... Ohhhh it's so good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do cook, almost every day, and I have way too many great dishes to list Having said that, made a pizza tonight in the cast iron..and oh my lord was it awesome! Was coming here to post in the pizza thread, but now this one popped up. The absolute opposite of Buffalo pizza, this was thin, crispy , and all kinds of awesome! BTW, I would say my absolute best dish is a Pork Pernil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) I’ve grown to love cooking over the last few years. I find it relaxing after a long day. It is a tough call as far as my best dish. I make a mean steak. Sous vide at 129 and then sear in carbon steel pan while hitting the edges with the blowtorch. I usually pair that with a mushroom risotto. I also make a great bourbon scallop dish. Shrimp with caper brine, lemon, and garlic is in the running too. I recently tried octopus sous vide and seared. It was pretty good! Edited February 26, 2018 by chknwing334 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Scampi is one of my favorites when the wife is traveling...cooking for ONE is barely worth it.) I may need to try to figure that out. I’m no chef, but I like to try recipes. Unfortunately, the wife barely eats and has restrictions, and my options are limited these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the wife barely eats and has restrictions, and my options are limited these days. I follow this recipe pretty closely. I add a bunch of capers along with the brine and never end up adding water. It is easy and one of the best shrimp recipes that I’ve ever had. Highly recommended. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/220597/simple-garlic-shrimp/ Edited February 26, 2018 by chknwing334 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a little more bitter or just the texture? My wife doesn’t care about things like that. Fortunately, she’s good about much more important things!

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Curly leaf parsley is more bitter. I actually just use a little of the dried parsley or leave it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
