So following on from the steak pie topic. What's your favourite meal that you cook yourself?
Mine's probably squid, prawns, mushroom and spinach risotto.
I'm on a soup kick at the moment. Current 'signature dish' is (veggie) Thai Chickenless Noodle Soup. (You could probably make it carnvorous by substituting chicken).
Recipe available on request.
simplicity rules in my book
good steak, cooked rare then sliced. served over loads of rocket with a balsamic reduction and oodles of parmisan, washed down with a good bold Rioja

Fixed that for you.
fillet steak medium rare.. sauteed sweet potato.. creamed leeks and sweetcorn..
A quick chunky spag bol if I'm late from work.
Currently cooking one of my favourites. Niche mongers and posh types look away now...
Sausage, egg and chips with a two slices of bread and butter.
If I have all the time in the world then it has to be lasagne. Love cooking it on a lazy Saturday afternoon.
Leg of Lamb slowcooked with Garlic, oregano, red wine,tomatoes and spuds.
Cougar could you email me that recipe please? It sounds good!
Fixed that for you.
not a massive merlot fan, i like a red wine that kicks you in the bollocks with steak
if i have more time then leg or shoulder of lamb from the farm next to my parent's (we buy a whole lamb at a time) studded with garlic and rosemary, cooked in a little red wine for 8 hours at 85 degrees
om nom nom nom
A slow cooked chilli with lots of cheese grated over it.
Quinoa cooked in a chicken stock with garlic, cumin, cinnamon, spring onions and raisins, accompanied by chicken. Quick, easy and healthy. 😀
slow cooked lamb shanks with shallots and red wine with winter veg and loads of mashed tatties
chvck - you've got mail.
Anyone else, just email me and I'll ping it by return, makes life easier.
Roasted red pepper risotto, peppers roasted on the BBQ give a great flavour.

I suspect perhaps you've been drinking the wrong Merlots, but ok - Cabernet then?
I'm also on a soup thing at the mo, tend to batch cook a load and then portion into bags and bung in the freezer till I need them, quick simple and filling after a late night ride, currently have bags of Carrot & Coriander and Curried Parsnip in there. That said I do a mean rare ribeye with curried sweet potato wedges.
Paella with scallops, king prawn, chorizo and spinach and a big buckety glass x several of Amarone to compliment
This thread is just making me hungry!

To high a temp, 57 degrees is the correct temp for slow cooking, hope that helps, also you'll not break down the protein structure too much and you'll also have more due to less shrinkage.
a rare but nice feast is a venison roast with juniper berries and rosemary rub
Beef casserole. With stuff in it.
Smoked haddock fish cakes, pea purée, home made tartare sauce and some nice fresh salad. Nom nom nom
Nowt fancy here, just quality roast beef, roast spuds, carrots, Yorkshire pud etc
Probably my favourite...

Roast Fillet of Beef with all the trimmings
I love lamb and all of the lamb dishes up above are making my mouth water!
However, my favourite meal that I cook is chicken fajitas.
FISH PIE
£4 - 5 worth of fish pie mix from your local monger, add 1 can of condensed mushroom soup, scatter 1 packet of ready salted kettle chips (crushed), drizzle with butter, 30-40 mins @ 180 ! BOSHDI!!
Toad in the hole, with decent sausages, peas and gravy. Did a nice stir fry, chicken, veg in sesame oil and a splash of soy sauce other day as well.
My signature dish, bizarrely is sushi. As fun to make and serve as it is to eat...

My favourite meal is any I haven't had to cook myself 🙁
Most Merlot = [house wine]
Perhaps, but my point still stands.
A good propper cottage pie, but with cheesy potatoes is one and paella with chicken and seafood is the other
I love to cook for people who don't cook, then I make exquisite espressos... the kitchen heat dries out my facial skin something rotten though...... 🙄
chilli chickpea and cabbage surprise. It tastes surprisingly good .....

A first class meal followed by a decent espresso gets my thumbs up!

Although if you asked my kids they would say black eye bean burritos.
Or macaroni cheese
Or (veggie)scotch broth
