What is your signature dish, /ck/? What do you like to cook when you have to make food for other people, or what dish receives praises from your peers?
I cook a pretty mean mac'n'cheese. I usually use an extra sharp cheddar, with a swiss cheese like Jarlsberg (sometimes the smoked kind) for the sauce. I also put some mozzarella for the stretchiness.
I'll usually add some bacon and brocoli, too (pic related, not mine but looks a lot like it)

Chicken quesadillas with green tomatillo sauce

I have no picture but trust me it's delicious. I use roasted chicken, provolone cheese, corn tortillas drown them in green tomatillo sauce with a dollop of sour cream on top.

I usually use queso Oaxaca but that's hard to find. I'll use any mild cheese tho, including mozzarella, and meunster. Meunster quesadillas are amazing

I have a few "signature" dishes, but if I'm feeding people who have typical tastes, I usually smoke and/or grill something, plus sides. That usually pleases people of all kinds. Now, if it's someone/people I know are more adventurous eaters, I'll make something a little more exotic or ethnic, depending.
I don't know. Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken I guess because I'm a lazy fuck. Chicken Marsala is also really easy.
>>7774803
Shrimp Étouffée or pulled pork tacos.
Those are my go-to because they're both quite easy and I often get requests for them.
>>7774803
Kimchi Jiggae, bangbang chicken, porchetta, falafel
"Irish" stew with 100% beer "broth".
I also make a pretty killer risotto.
roast chicken. I add salt, pepper, rosemary, just enough oil to crisp the skin, garlic, sometimes onion, and red wine. I prefer roasting whole chickens, but legs are cheaper and faster so I usually use those. once it's done, I rest the chicken on a plate and make a basic gravy/pan sauce with the wine and drippings. then I serve it with rice and some kind of salad
>>7774803
My family raves about my meatballs, either for spaghetti or for subs. It's simple stuff, but they are really good.

Do you serve your Irish "stew" in a pint glass?

Throw that shit all together in a casserole dish and then bake for 1-1.5 hours until the meat is browning.
I like to serve it with:
>homemade spaetzle (saute with mushrooms and onions if you feel fancy)
>buttery mashed potatoes
>steamed green beans (or sometimes squash)
>a good hefeweizen
Fairly easy to prepare aside from the handmade spaetzle. Its a delicious hearty dish that will last you a week. Every bite you take is like a holocaust in your mouth.
>>7775562
You have an easy way to make spaetzle? I love German food, but it just seems so labor intensive.
>>7775540
Perhaps I should but it's T H I C C as fuck.
I like to make hamburger helper without the hamburger
>>7775565
Not really, I spoon the batter out of the dish into boiling water.
Since the recipe makes a ton of food I always have people over when I'm cooking it. I just conscript someone to be the dedicated spaetzle spooner while I do everything else.
>>7774836
I can never seem to make cabonara right. Any tips?
Nothing beats a simple burger with cheese and onion on the inside.

Use good quality cream, I like Land O Lakes
This may sound funny but canned peas retain their freshness better. Hubby's sister turned me on to Green Giant and I've been using it ever since
I only make it 2-3 times a year but my signature dish is ricotta and spinach stuffed cannelloni with bechemel and toamato sauces. I make fresh pasta for it as well these days.
>>7775795
Do you follow a specific recipie? The one I used doesn't even suggest cream...

spaghetti and meatballs.
I know it's easy as fuck to cook, but I'm not claiming to be a great cook. But I do make it really well.
I can also make a tasty as fuck bone-in chicken thigh but the meat does most of the work for me.
>>7777265
Of scratch both of those, I forgot about my meatloaf. Everyone likes mine.
>>7774803
Completely from scratch stir fry and egg noodles. Usually do some chicken breast cubed then whatever fresh veggies that make good color combos: bok choy, mushrooms, bell pepper, snap peas, broccoli, carrots. The sauce is an Asian ginger and orange and soy deal
>>7774803
disclaimer: I try to finnagle my way into situations where cooking breakfast foods are acceptable.
Once you've made eggs benedict more than twice, its near impossible to NOT impress someone with it, especially if you have some dough stored away to make english muffins fresh that morning; and there are near endless variations, so you can fling around whatever ingredients you have handy and usually get a good take on it going. If they're an obesefag, I'll make anjera with a chocolate/strawberry/cinnamon syrup trio with caramelized bananas on the side (its like a breakfast banana split, get it hurr hurr).
>>7777293
Why would you take the time to make noodles, etc, completely from scratch but choose to use chicken breast meat as opposed to other cuts of chicken?
>>7774803
Chicken Alfredo is my best dish. I usually add spinach or mushrooms to it as well.
>>7777301
I don't really know. What other parts should I use? Of a chicken I mean
Really it's about the "yea. Homemade noodles. Fucks with me."
>>7777350
Well, if you're doing a stir-fry I'd suggest using the leg meat, specifically thigh. It's more flavorful than breast. Cheaper than breast. And its higher fat content makes it stir-fry better than breast does.

>cream and peas
>in a fucking carbonara
Nigga no
Carbonara is only pasta, pecorino romano, guanicale (or good bacon if guanicale is unavailable), egg, and LOTS of black pepper. (Also maybe some of the cooking water, depends on how it looks. The cream compensates for overcooking the egg, and peas because you lack self-respect.
Baked Porkchops topped with sage stuffing and cream of mushroom with a side of garlic and cream cheese mashed potatoes.
>>7778760
Is pancetta acceptable?
>>7778760
Wrong pic. This is what I intended.
>>7778765
Yep, anything in that vein works.
Also if you can't find decent pecorino, then it won't be the same but swapping in good parmesan would be acceptable.
