What are your favourite one pot dishes?

[TheWoodenSpoonOfMischief]

I'm a lazy cook but still want to make decent food for the family.
I love making bung-everything-in-pot-then-shove-in-the-oven type of dishes.
Im looking for some new ideas so please share any fab recipes you have.

A thread after my own heart! My two current favourites are Delia's chicken Basque and Italian spring lamb, which is spectacularly simple.

There are some lovely recipes here I intend to try quite a few, thanks for a good thread

All of these sound lovely. I love a one-pot dish.

Paella, risotto...stew with the potatoes cooked in.

I did this last week and loved it.

Remus I'm veggie too, would you have any links to recipes -particularly the top three on your list? I'm always on the look out for new recipes.

Oops, should have had a please in there, sorry.

Vegetarian here - we love this tomato and coconut cassoulet sounds weird, tastes amazing.

I do a lot of roasted vegetable based meals. Roast veg as normal, add whatever spices (chilli, curry or tagine spices), a tin of tomatoes and a tin of pulses and bake a bit longer to reduce the liquid a bit and cook through the pulses. Serve with rice, cous cous, bread or whatever.

I was going to say Delias chicken basque but pp mentioned it. It is truly delicious.

My absolute favourite is braised pig cheeks with leeks

These are our favourite one pot dishes One Pot Chilli Chicken leave the chilli out if DC's don't do spicy, it can be quite hot if the chorizo is a spicy one.
Nigella's Greek Lamb Stew to follow. Can't put 2 links on for some reason

I second Elle double- that tomato coconut cassoulet is divine ( and healthy too)

The cassoulet sounds good, except I hate tinned tomatoes. :(

Veggie sausage casserole =
Fry diced onion, carrots and celery, plus some garlic.
Add teaspoon smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons honey, 2 teaspoons grainy mustard.
Add a pot of passata and some s&p, plus a pinch of sugar.
Shove it in the oven until the carrot is getting soft then add a drained tin of either green lentils, puy lentils or butterbeans, plus a packet of defrosted sliced veggie hotdogs.
Warm through.
We like it with baked potatoes and soured cream and chives, or hassleback potatoes.

Lentil soup -
Fry onion, garlic, diced carrot and diced sweet potato.
Add spices - turmeric, ginger, cumin seeds, mustard seeds and some chilli flakes.
Add a tin of coconut milk, water and red lentils.
Cook until soft. Add s & p. Blend.

Veggie chilli = search my name on here, as I've written it out several times, I think. Give me a shout if you can't find it.

Veggie recipes are fab. I want to try to include more veggie recipes.
At the moment I try to do 2 a week but they're almost always Dahl and rice, tomato or mushroom based pasta sauce or veggie pizza.

Chicken, bacon, carrots, celery, stock, herbs. Cut potatoes onto biggish chunks (ie halve them, no need to cut any smaller) and arrange on top of everything else. 180C for about 90 mins.

Very forgiving dish re temperature and timing. Easy to vary according to what you have handy, eg tomatoes, parsnips etc. Putting the potatoes on top mean they cook in the steam, hold their shape and have a delicious texture. I don't even peel them lazy.

Like some of the other suggestions, will try later.

At the moment my one pot is warming the house with a wonderful rich aroma. OK, one pot and one plate

Cheapy cut of beef, chopped up, coated in flour, cumin, salt and pepper
Carrots, chopped
Parsnips, chopped
Squash, chopped
Onion, sliced

Fried off in the cooking pot: beef in batches, set aside, throw in onions, fry off then all other veg, throw beef back in.

Add enough stock to cover (I make chicken stock and freeze it in an ice cube tray then bag them up up): water, oxo cube and 2 chicken stock ice cubes, worcestershire sauce to taste.

Leave on very low heat, hob or oven, for as long as you have got, 2 - 4 hours. Usually it would go in the sloco, but I forgot the veg yesterday and had to pop out to the shops this morning.

It is rich, tasty and cheap. This one will make 6 large meals at about a pound a pop.

2 with bread, 2 with boiled potatoes and 2 over jacket spuds. Sometimes there is a lot of gravy left. That gets saved separately and gets poured over burgers, meatballs, pasta, etc later.

To cross onto another thread, this is how I know it is Autumny... I start batch cooking stews and other warming, wet and mainly brown food

Lobscouse.

Huge pan of boiling water. Check diced beef in with chopped onion. Simmer till stock reduced (about 1 hour). Chuck in half a swede and carrots (dont know how much but enough for us). Simmer for about 90 mins. Then chuck in potatoes cut into chunks (no idea how much again). Add enough beef stock (Oxo is ok) season and simmer for another hour. Lush!

Grown up on this. Its a big thing in Wales (and Liverpool of course!)

Hugh FW's Shin of Beef with Ginger and Soy. I use stewing beef and have amended some of the quantities as my book contained some typos (150ml of soy sauce would have killed us!).
Recipe here. Scroll down to find it, but there's some other nice looking recipes on there too.

Ours is a variation on pork carnitas

Piece of pork either chopped or whole (usually do it with a cheap shoulder but I got a huge loin half price last week and couldn't bring myself to chop it up) chuck in the slow cooker and cover with 1tbs of cumin and paprika and, if you've got one, the juice of a lime just before bed. In the morning add a carton of passata, give it a stir and leave on low all day.

When I make it with shoulder I'll put it in the over for 15 mins to crisp up the edges and then pull it apart but I sliced the loin and would be happy to serve it if Hyacinth Bouquet SIL was coming. fussypants DS and his mates couldn't get enough of it.

Mmmmm, all sounds fab, and I should have the ingredients in already too. Thank you Remus!

Boeuf Bourgignon. I had this on Friday night, served on thick toasted garlic bread slices. Nothing else (apart from half a bottle of red wine...). Delicious.

Cawl.

Or Jamie's 15 minute minestrone, which is also delicious (and an excellent way to get your 6th meal out of the famed Mumsnet chicken )

looking forward to colder nights and lots of stews : )

I'm such a lazy cook, I just cba sometimes when I get home from work to faff around, so one pot things are a marvellous invention to me.

Cajun chicken and chorizo jambalaya is delicious, really easy and any leftovers are lovely cold the next day. That and carbonara are staples in our house.

Saving thread to try some other recipes - for starting it.
