These are a few of my favourite things..... (Food: What else?)

[AndBreathe]

I thought I'd start a thread where we could just jot down a favourite meal, snack or recipe. We have settled into a way of eating, with decent variety, but just sometimes I would like something different, and then I can lack inspiration.

My favourite, “once in a while meal”, is still Paella, which works for me, provided we use a Mexican rice which is readily available overseas. Whilst in the UK, I have tried this, but reduced the rice and fluid, then towards the end, added grated cauliflower to create additional bulk and texture. It works. I'm going to try tweaking it further, leaving out the rice altogether, but that would probably be a step to far for my OH, and I can certainly tolerate some rice from time to time.

The “What have you eaten today” thread has been excellent, but would anyone like to share their favourites, or even guilty secrets?

Too many to list, but here are a few......

My wife's home-made lasagne has to be up there together with a good traditional roast beef diner, also fish and chips, fillet steak with stilton cheese grilled on the top and a good chinese chicken curry with fried rice

I use a mixture of cauliflower and broccoli then throw some roasted garlic cloves in before covering with the cheese sauce

Risotto, made with carnaroli rice, a shallot, stock, and a good dollup of butter and parmesan chucked in at the end. Doesn't need any more. But the highly processed rice needs a huge shot of Humalog to cover it.
