What's Your Best Meal?

[Stevesie60]

You get one chance to beat Bobby Flay. What do you choose as your dish to challenge him with? Basically this is so I know who to text when I'm trying out something new.

As for me, I'm going pork chop and mashed potatoes.

Grilled cheese

Grilled cheese

I'm assuming this said grilled cheese is accompanied by some tomato soup? (maybe not in the summer tho)

((also pro tip for tomato soup, add some goat cheese and balsamic vinegar))

I'm going with white people tacos

Here is what I base it on.

Note: unless you and yours are good with a lot of spice, don’t use more than 3-4 Serrano peppers. I made it with 5 once and it was amazing but others thought it way too hot. I made this for my mom last weekend with 1 Serrano and it was still delish.

 Rice:  I use 2 cup jasmine rice in an instapot with 2.25 cups water.  Pressure cook 3 min, slow release 10min, the. Release pressure. Immediately mix in an entire bunch of cilantro, an entire bunch of green onion( both diced) along with a crap ton of rice wine vinegar(I have no clue how much, I just pour until I get uncomfortable with how much I am adding and thinking that no one will probably want it this time because JFC I just put a lot of vinegar in it….its at least  1/4 cup). Then put the lid back on and let it sit for 5 min or so.

Also, the fried egg really adds a lot too. Dont have to fry it in oil though. I just easy over it in a skillet with a small amt of butter and it is just as good.

Note on meat:  this is amaze with ground pork but also really good with sliced skinless/boneless chicken thighs.

Also, I add quite a bit of MSG and a bit of white pepper when cooking the meat

[Stevesie60]

Ground pork is ssssoooo good but I feel like few dishes call for it. I'm very happy to have a new one.

Quesadilla at 2am after getting boozy

[GregKSU1027]

Well bobby flay is an absolute boss at grilling so probs not gonna bring a grilled dish to the table.

Think my best dishes right now are my Chicken Carbonara and my mushroom vodka sauce pasta that i threw together last week.

[DaBigTrain]

Bobby flay is beneath me in terms of cooking skills so I probably would just decline if he ever wanted to have a cook off

I have a different sauce recipe on mine than what they have at the above link, but the meatball recipe appears to be the same. I honestly never gave a crap about the sauce and didn't bother letting it simmer for an hour.

Classic Tomato Sauce

Makes 7 cups

Ingredients

1 yellow onion, small dice (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 bay leaf
1 sprig fresh oregano (or 1/2 teaspoon dry)
2 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 28-ounce cans of canned tomatoes, chopped (preferably San Marzano)
Cooking Directions

Cook the onions with the olive oil, oregano, bay, garlic and salt over medium heat in a large pot (12-quart), stirring constantly until soft and translucent (about 15 minutes).
Add the tomato paste and continue cooking for five minutes.
Add the canned tomatoes and stir constantly until the sauce begins to boil.
Continue cooking for 1 hour, stirring ever four or five minutes so that the sauce does not burn.
Season with extra salt to taste.

Add fish sauce to that as you add the last bit of tomatoes.

Half the time I make it perfectly, and half the time the texture is distracting. At some point I should just find a recipe and follow it to a T and maybe learn a thing or two.
