Signature Dish

[sunny-dave]

Spinning off from SK's dinner thread :

What are your own "signature dishes" - not the fancy stuff you cook once in a blue moon, but the simple recipes you go back to over and over again?

Dave's Mince and Beanie Stew :

Basically mince, onions, mushrooms, Heinz Beanz (no other brand will do) and suet dumplings ... mmmmm


Dave's Mum's Lemon Meringue Pie

3 eggs
2 lemons
Tin of condensed milk
6oz caster sugar

Pastry :

9oz plain flour
4oz softened butter
4oz caster sugar
1 egg

Mix all ingredients for pastry together with a little lemon zest.
Make into ball (leave in fridge for an hour if you have time) and roll out.
Line a deep greased dish 20 cm square.

Mix condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice and zest.
Put in pastry case.

Beat egg whites and sugar till stiff.
Put on top of lemon mixture.

Bake for approx 30 mins. at 160°C.

Dave, suet dumplings are the food of satan!

The lemon meringue pie sounds lush xx

Lamb Stew and doughballs. It was the first thing I was ever taught to cook and I love it.

Chorizo pasta.

[snags]

I'm pretty sure if B00 can get hold of Choritzo then pasta won't be a problem (empty a Pot Noodle on the table and throw away the powder and coloured bits?).

[B00]

oi!

Im right here, and heard that AND I've a button!!!

Think on, think on....

''it will be a cumberland painted red''

Or a chippy saveloy sprinkled with Paprika and a clove of garlic stuck up it's end?

Chicken, chorizo and red wine stew...Mmmm, think i'll make it tomorrow!

[sunny-dave]

There are few dishes that aren't improved with a lump of chorizo ... well perhaps not puddings, but you get my drift.

Try slicing longitudinally (is that a word? - lengthways perhaps) and balancing on top of chicken as you roast it.

[humbersloop]

bangers and mash with onion gravy, beef stew in guiness

dave, that stew sounds very similar to the contents of a greggs pa...

..thinks better of it

[mccfluff]

mushroom jelly

[humbersloop]

if you fry chorizo, save the oil and use it for fried eggs - woo hoo!

[sunny-dave]

Squirt of Cream on that fluff?

[sunny-dave]

Yep - been there, done that sloopy :)

[mccfluff]

i wouldn't waste good cream....

Roast dinner, especially my roast potatoes. I don't make fancy stuff but can knock together a meat and two veg type meal that any omnivore would be happy to eat :)
