This is why I don’t potluck. I’ll eat alone thanks.
Bacon brussels sprouts. Cut one pack of bacon into lardons, cook bacon, remove the bacon, pour out just a little bacon grease but leave some in the pan, add trimmed and halved/quartered brussels sprouts with some salt, pepper, maybe a little garlic powder, cook until al dente-ish, add the bacon back, mix, serve or transfer to crockpot.
Edit: Finish with a little squirt of lemon juice and grated parm.
Add some balsamic glaze on top when you serve it, maybe a little fresh parm. Amazing.
I completely forgot the crucial finishing steps of lemon juice and parm. My family would be devastated. Fixed!
I do a guac because it's easy and I'm not great at cooking. Fortunately guac hasn't hit the zeitgeist in Japan so people are impressed by it.
Cups and plates
The unsung hero of potluck.
"You shouldn't have," says the host who no longer has to do dishes. "It's so wasteful," says the guest who no longer has to help with dishes.
Spicy red lentil dip. I just make a dal with less water lol.
My family's would probably be "Damn Good Dip," which is very easy to make: take a container of sour cream and mix a packet of onion soup-mix into it. Serve with potato chips.
For standard dinner faire, my parents make Consomme Rice, which is just white rice cooked using beef consomme instead of water.
My recipe would be Fried Deviled Eggs, which is just deviled eggs but before you put the yolk back in, you batter the whites with panko and throw them in the air fryer until they get crispy and crunchy. It's an extra step in an already less than easy to prepare food, but I've gotten lots of people asking if I'm going to make them when I go to parties.
I'm also known for my Steakhouse-style Garlic Mashed Potatoes, which, like with the rice, the trick is to boil the garlic and potatoes both in chicken stock instead of water, and then mash the garlic cloves right into the potatoes along with butter and cream cheese. It makes them super flavorful.
Sounds like how I make cheese sauce.
Mayonnaise plus cheese plus anything else I happen to have in the fridge. I put gherkins in it one time, wouldn't recommend it wasn't terrible but wasn't great.
S'mores as a tray bake. I get to blowtorch the marshmallow tops!
Oh niiiicceee
Oxtail stew with rice and peas
I do the stove top oxtail version
I also didn't have brown sugar last time so I subbed in cassareep and damn that worked
What is it with all the dips in USA cuisine? And what are you dipping that need such heavy dipping sauces?
It is a potluck, not just a regular meal. It’s a large get together and you might expect more like a “grazing” behavior than a meal. Everyone brings something and you try a little of as much as you want
Usually chips. But also other foods. Pizza, bread sticks, french fries. Now that I think about it, it's usually a carb.
Kahlua and macadamia brownies. Or lasagna
That tracks, I've become the designation guac person 😅
What the hell happened to her face?
People love my rice and beans
I play airsoft, and after a few guys tried my brisket, that's how I got my call sign.
Buuut, I will, in no way, routinely bring that to a potluck. Too much time and money!
For me? Chicken, smoked with Hickory for three hours, nice and low, with my own dry-rub that's a little sweet, little smokey, and a little spicy, with a hint of maple coming through.
Man I should get back in to airsoft. But the enterance prices ward me off.
Quiche. I challenge you to find a vegetarian dish with a higher taste/effort ratio.
I'm passionate about good quiche. What's your go to filling?
Whatever is in the fridge. If I'm at the store, asparagus, some mushrooms, maybe talk to the cheese guy to see what he's excited about, arugula is good too.
I've got tuna noodle casserole with it's multitude of variations
Buffalo Chicken crunch wraps. Homemade tzatziki with blue cheese, Cilantro lime rice, shredded chicken breast, and some very spicy buffalo sauce.
Try it with Carolina Reaper... If you dare.
Depending on where I'm going either Mac & Cheese or Chili.
My Chili recipe is a vegan recipe that's been informed by Texas Chili recipes.
The Mac is just good fuckin Mac. I add half a caramelized half pound of onions and I like to add green chilies too 🤤🤤
NYTimes chocochip cookie recipe.
