Favorite thing to cook?

[Nori]

I'm still trying to get into cooking, but my all time favorite meal to cook is Penne pasta with chicken and pesto. It's super duper easy and tastes amazing, especially with the pre-cut/cooked chicken strips (I usually shy away from processed foods, but its so tenderrr).

What are your guys' favorite meals or things to cook?

[Calun the Bat]

Anything with kielbasa. I love the food on my Polish side, and I adore cooking anything.


I love cooking meats, and particularly barbecue, but I adore stovetop kielbasa and pierogi in particular.
Picture is not mine, but it's what is arguably my very favorite ever.

I don't have an image yet, will take a photo next time I cook them


Cheeseburgers is one of my most favorite items to cook, I can get creative in many different ways, or even eat them simple.

Dont have any photos- But i really do enjoy making dumplings. Simple, yet entertaining.
Also, a nice thing to get the family together. Also tastes really good owo

[Ventus Fall]

Can't believe I missed this!

My favourite thing to cook is:
Chicken, noodles, green peas.

You can eat them all separate from each other or mix them all up.
Together with sweet-sour chicken sauce and/or katjap manis (= sweet-sour soy sauce).

I also use one of the sauces to marinade the chicken when cooking, but after it has all been cooked, I can either use the chicken sauce or the ketjap manis to pour over the noodles.
This last one is something of a personal preference: I like using mayonaise on the green pease and mixing mayonaise with the chicken sauce/ketjap manis sauce for the noodles.

I also don't have any photos but I enjoy making croissants and pain au chocolat, even though our oven doesn't have the special spraying water thingy I think they're still decent, at least my French neighbours think so

I have since discovered Turkish Delight. The first go was a bit too sweet for me, but my goodness it's heavenly once I got it to where I liked it.


I also want to make a strawberry jello cake sometime, I had a piece and my goodnessssss

[Brenny]

I just really love to cook empanadas and other similar things that need some oven, like pizza and the like.



Honestly, I don't know why I feel like making these is so relaxing (and yummy)!

But out of the things that I cook, I think my favourite is hamburgers. That or nachos.

[Solomon the Solitary]

I like to prepare Asian foods. Dumplings are my favorite!

[Whisko]

I am not a big cook, but I do cook breakfasts, so... I really love cooking crepes, so easy sometimes I cook them and make a ton of tiny jelly filled (or ice cream) crepe bites for a 'social outing'

I randomly stumbled upon this recipe when checking another forum I tend to frequent.
I have no idea what this dish is actually called (neither did the original poster, but perhaps someone here knows what this is), but it's pretty hassle-free to make, contains easy to find ingredients, you can easily experiment with/make it more varied by adding different ingredients into it than what the base recipe (Tomatoes, potatoes, onions, minced meat. I added carrots and navy beans as an experiment this time) calls for, and it's easy to make large batches of it!
It's a pretty new thing for me so I haven't made it too many times, but it's quickly became one of my favourite dishes.



(It's not supposed to look this soup-y, but this is the last plate of my last batch, so I ended up pouring all the liquids onto my plate)

Spoiler for messy instructions of how to recreate this mess.:

Basically you slice the tomatoes, onions and potatoes and fill the bottom of a large greased pot with a layer of tomato slices, add some raw minced meat on top, then a layer of potato slices on top of that, and then a layer of sliced/some chopped onions on top of that. Then you start over with the tomatoes and keep going until the pot is full or you've ran out of stuff.
I tend to spice it with ground black pepper, powdered white pepper, some allspice, a pinch or two of mild curry powder, a beef stock cube and a dash of soy sauce. But I suppose you can just spice it after your own tastes. Personally, I like "bland-ish/plain" food.


After all that is done, you just put a lid on the pot and leave it on the stove on mid-low heat for about an hour or so.
The tomatoes will provide all the liquids so you don't need to add any water, and everything has always turned out nicely cooked-through every time I've tried making this.
Admittedly I was a bit skeptical of just tossing raw meat into the pot, but surprisingly enough it works. (I did read in the original forum that some have spiced and browned the meat before putting it into the pot to improve the taste, but I'm fine with it like this. Some also prefer to scald the tomatoes to get the peels to go away, but I'm too lazy for that too.)


It's really important to make sure you use PLENTY of tomatoes (like, 8-9 large juicy ones) since that's supposed to be the source for all liquid in this dish.
Otherwise, it'll end up burning to the bottom of the pot and it's pure hell to try and get it off once that happens.
