Thread: what is your favorite recipe

1lb meatloaf mix
6 slices of bacon (or pancetta) cut small
1 large onion finely chopped
5 cloves garlic minced
3 stalks of celery finely chopped
3 carrots finely chopped
1 tbs marjoram
1 tbs parsley
1 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
2 tbs sugar
1 can chicken broth
squeeze of ketchup
2 heavy dashes of worcestershire
salt and pepper
2 28oz crushed tomatoes
parmigiana cheese grated

Sweat the onions in a large pot while rendering the bacon in a separate pan. When onions are done add the carrots and celery. When the bacon is done remove the bacon and add fat to the veggies. In the bacon pan brown the meat and drain most of the fat, add it to the veggies and add the tomatoes. In the bacon pan add the broth ketchup and worcestershire and stir, then add the herbs. Bring that to a boil for a few minutes and add to the mix. Throw in the sugar and some salt and pepper. Let it cook for around two hours then add some grated cheese and the bacon. Cook it for a coupla more hours and serve with your favorite pasta, I prefer a spaghetti rigatti, it has ridges to hold the sauce. You can also add some cream towards the end to make it more like a Bolognese. That's my favorite recipe aside from the one that will follow.

thinly sliced boneless chicken breasts
half a bottle of white wine
a third the wine amount of oil I just eyeball it all
1 tsp basil
2 tbs sugar
a good amount of lime juice again I eyeball
6 cloves of garlic finely minced or not doesn't matter too much
salt
a good bit of black pepper

Stir it all together and add the chicken let it sit over night and then grill it. That is my favorite recipe and I've been told its the best chicken that several people have ever eaten.

1 stick of butter
1 can rotel diced tomatoes
1 cup onions
1 cup bell pepper
1 cup celery
2 cloves garlic
1.5 lbs large shrimp 12-15 per pound

oh all veggies chopped fine

saute all veggies except garlic till wilted with spices, then add tomatoes and garlic cook on med heat 15-25 min. Add shrimp cook 2-4 more min remove from heat and serve over rice.

I love to cook for me and my fiancé so there are alot of good recipes to share.

I never measure my ingredients so I just play it my ear.

One recipie is spaghetti with pasta with shrimp and scallops with a butter white wine sauce.

The way I make it is pretty simple. Just take your cleaned shrimp and scallops and throw them into a warm pan.
I like to wait till the water evaporates before throwing butter in or else it gets too watery. So make sure they don't stick!!
So once most of the water evaporates I throw in about a quarter or a butter stick and let that melt and mix in.
Add salt pepper oregano and garlic to taste and mix in good.
Add a bunch of white wine(again however much you want) and let it cook for a bit more.

Ready to serve in no time!

I also got a great recipe for roasted rabbit, lamb on a spit and beef or pork chunks on the spit. I'll share the recipes soon once I get home from work.
