What is your favourite recipe?

[Titsywoo]

As part of my 50 things to do before 50 I am planning to cook a new recipe once a week and have no idea where to start. I have no allergies and am fairly unfussy - I just want to try new things and expand my repertoire! Please let me know your favourite recipes - simple or complicated is all fine🙂

I'm doing something similar on a more casual basis. Recent 'new to me' recipes include chicken parmigiana, chicken marsala, and tonight's Chinese chicken with lemon sauce and egg fried rice. All recipes were found via Google, and all came out well - especially the chicken parm - I'd heard about it for years but never tried it until 2 weeks ago :)

This for pure comfort food (I recommend all his recipes, they've never failed me)

O I love a good homemade soda bread like PP posted.

Favourite dinner at the minute is jamie Oliver chicken curry tray bake. It's the only curry recipe I have ever made that has been edible.

Also made a really good spinach and ricotta stuffed chicken breast recipe recently.

If you can learn about Yorkshire pudding wraps and let me know then I'd be delighted. I'm sure they are my favourite food.

Miso salmon. So easy, so good.

I'm a competent cook, but a massive fan of pre-baked pastry cases. There are so many things you can make with them and just saves the time of blind baking etc:

• lemon meringue
• citron tart
• salted caramel tart
• pecan pie
• coconut tart
• treacle tart

2 of the simplest I make:
Salted caramel tart. Into the pre-baked tart case, pour a tin of caramel and smooth flat (nestle etc). Sprinkle a little salt. Melt chocolate and smooth a thin layer over the top. Set in the fridge before serving.

Passionfruit tart. Mix a tin of sweetened condensed milk with the pulp of about 5 passionfruit, or use a little tin of passionfruit pulp. Pour the mix into the tart case and bake at 180' till just starting to brown. It only takes about 10-15mins. It will look wobbly, but once cooled and set, it can be cut for a delicious dessert or served with tea/coffee.

I've just made golden chicken soup (recipe from 'baked by melissa'). I saw her make it on tik tok but there's a recipe and method on here:

A really quick midweek meal

This is an absolute favourite- and everyone who tries it loves it. Don't worry. Try it! www.nigella.com/recipes/fish-finger-bhorta

Dishoom's Chicken Berry Britannia Biryani Recipe. Recommended by a mumsnetter on a curry thread. It is absolutely the best biryani I have ever tasted.

I agree about making pastry @CJ4713. I can make perfectly good pastry, but find it far too much of a faff so I buy it instead.

This looks very boring but is lovely, warm, comforting and more than the sum of its parts. We sometimes add a layer of shredded white cabbage to replace some of the carrots.

Following with interest.

We love this - also use the topping for a chicken pie-style filling too.

we all like this, we don’t have a slow cooker so just pop in oven proof dish as covered as possible on low heat.

This butter chicken is heaven. Her dahls and breads are fabulous too.

Butter Chicken | RecipeTin Eats

I made this Tahini-rubbed chicken recently and it was an instant hit with the entire family, including my not very adventurous 16 year old ds.

Mine at the moment is roast duck, with steamed veg and baby new potatoes (from my garden).

Duck is such tender meat, very easy to roast, much more flavour than chicken, very healthy (low cholesterol). Makes great sandwiches the following day too. 🙂

Love RecipeTinEats! Our favourite is the chipotle salmon tacos with mango salsa and taco slaw. It’s in her Dinner book.

You can’t get the recipe online but this one is similar:

Yoghurt cake.
One egg, whisked into sugar, vegetable oil, yoghurt, plain flour, baking powder.

I just eyeball it and it never fails. You can add cocoa and/or any goodies on hand. This week it was apple (3) cake with an extra egg, golden sugar, half butter and additional rum flavoring. It was like something from a patisserie but just the same old basic recipe.

I really like Joe Wicks sausage shakshuka.

Nigella’s chocolate Guinness cake, if you want the absolute king of cakes.

I was gifted several books from The Roasting Tin series for birthday and Christmas. They have certainly got me out of a cooking rut. The simplicity of the recipes has motivated me to try several new recipes a week.

I 100% recommend them, especially to people who dislike cooking.

I'm trying to do the same OP. Here are a couple of my recent favourites:

Rigatoni sausage bake - I added more spinach

Arroz al horno

Chicken fatee

My favourite CBA dinner (not quite what you asked) is this : -

Very versatile, can use up any veggies that need using.
