What’s your family’s favourite home-cooked meal?

[MadameSzyszkoBohusz]

Just made my family their favourite, which is chicken breasts topped with homemade pesto, wrapped in pancetta and served on rice with a white wine and mushroom sauce and green veg.

If I’m honest, it’s not my favourite - it’s fine, but I prefer food with more kick to it - but DH, DD and DS all really love it, so I make it at least once a month.

What’s the smash hit in your house?

We had a tomato marscapone risotto yesterday that was declared to be very good by everyone. Risotto of any kind is always popular.
Lasagne
Roast chicken
Steak

Cajun Meatballs (pork)
Cajun dirty rice

Oh and definitely chilli and variations on that eg fajitas or enchiladas

Salmon En-Croute - very 70’s 😋

Roast dinner
Steak pie with chips, veg and gravy
Bolognaise (with pasta, not spaghetti)

Mine really like a chicken casserole with Parmesan dumplings that I make in my slow cooker, despite it ‘ looking like sick’ .

Cottage pie
Minced beef Pie
Spaghetti Bolognaise
Spaghetti Carbonara
Chilli
Burgers
Meatballs (Italian, Greek, Indian and Middle Eastern) served with (Pasta, Lemon rice & orzo, Pilau Rice with peas, Cous cous/buckwheat)
Summer Cottage pie
Schnitzel
Sausage (Mash, Toad in hole, ragu, casserole in cider)
Fish goujons
My KFC
My Wingstop Chicken
Spatchcock chicken ( varuoos flavourings)
Steak & Chips.
Pork/lamb chops with Boulanger potatoes
Chicken Arrabiata with Parmesan dumplings.

Thats what mine came back with.
Theres more but I thought I would be taking the piss.
My fave? Schnitzel with Parmesan, spaghetti & homemade tomato sauce, green beans with garlic. And garlic bread if I have time.

DH doesn’t like pasta. Actually I don’t much like rice - I had mine with a few garlicky roast potatoes tonight.

I make rocket pesto rather than basil. Everyone likes the peppery flavour and you can get it in larger quantities than you usually can basil.

Either “spaghetti lasagne” or home made chicken pad thai

Jamie Oliver special chicken (think it’s called That) with prosciutto ham, thyme, butter, lemon and celeriac.

Another fave is leeks wrapped in honey roast ham with cheese sauce. Can’t recall if you put breadcrumbs on it but you do bake it.

The DC always ask for 'sausage pasta'.

Sausage meat fried with shallots, garlic and chopped coriander and a small sprinkle of chilli flakes.
Add mutti tinned tomatoes, bit of water to wash the tin out. Add your choice of cooked pasta.
I used to add a generous swirl of cream before adding the pasta as per the original recipe but I omit this now for cost and calorie reasons! It's just as nice.

It annoys me that I can't think where the recipe came from tbh. I'm guessing Good Housekeeping/ Woman & Home magazine.

Lasagna or homemade burgers

Home made lasagne 😋 spent the afternoon with my eldest son today making it

I do something similar but with Italian flavours - basil, oregano, fennel - rather than coriander. And lots of parmesan on top.

Dh and Gdcs love my ‘shepherd’s’ pie, but it’s not really shepherd’s, since I make it with beef mince and semi veggie with red lentils and lots of finely chopped veg. Plus baked beans mixed in, and masses of mash on top.

Cornish pasty, veg and gravy

Sweet and sour chicken is popular. DS loves grilled chicken, tomato salad and Delia Smith's pesto rice salad served hot.

Macaroni cheese. Hands down.

Otherwise...a vegan creamy pasta Alfredo dish I make.

I do similar, add gochuchang ( spelling) and reduced fat crème fraiche instead of cream

Japanese salmon with mirin ginger and honey soy marinade
sausage and root veg potato traybake in white wine
smoked haddock pilaf
beef bulgogi with rice or in baguette sandwiches
Pork and mushroom stroganoff pasta
lamb kebabs in flatbread with harissa sauce
chicken with mustard cream and hasselback potatoes
stuffed butternut squash with blue cheese, pecans and honey
chicken tikka massala
lasagna and pasta bakes
pasta with sardines or anchovies
paneer with peas
chicken with coriander chutney
Szechuan fish hotpot
moroccan lamb mince with apricots
Hong Kong fried rice with char Sui pork
burgers

Fajitas! My kids love these, chicken, steak, even mackerel and lots of red onion and peppers. They love homemade guacamole, sour cream and really hot sauce 🔥

They also love pork vindaloo, daal & homemade chapati, or aloo parathas.

Finally they love my lasagne, garlic bread and a big salad.

What’s marry me chicken???

Marry me chicken, nigella's chicken and chorizo tray bake, or the moussaka i make post Easter with the left over roast lamb, rather than using mince. Hairy bikers moussaka recipe with aubergines and potatoes, it's a mission, but worth it and stocks the freezer.
