Top 10 Home-Cooked Meals
I have been lookgin at this thread again and again, wondering what my top 10
is. Then I realized I siply don't have a top 10. I have 2 types of food that I cook on a regular basis: stews and thick sauces. They are regulars because I like to freeze meals. Stews are usuallty beef + onions + tomatoes. I usually serve them with boiled, skin-on potatoes, sometimes with mash (which may include veg) or spaetzle. Other stews are Middle Eastern in style, using poultry or fish or chick peas, (preserved) lemons, olives, pumpkins, sometimes tomatoes, green veg, etc. Those are served with rice or quinoa. Thicks sauces are variations on tomato sauce for pasta, and Asian curry-type sauces for rice. The Asian sauces often include chicken breasts and sometimes pork. I am still learning in that department. Want to get the hang of more vegetarian, Indian curries. A third regular is chili (also freezable). I rarely cook by a recipe, so my list a kind of unspcific. I hardly ever try to recreate a previous version of a stew/sauce/chili. (I do read recipes almost daily. Excellent for inspiration and for relaxing before going to sleep) |
