What's Your Signature Dish?

[Margi Cintrano]

I am only referring to the Octopus I prepared from a Chef client friend of the family.

I have never made lamb or beef or any other meat via the sous vide preparation technique.

Hard to choose a "signature" dish, but the one thing I am famous for is my Chicken Liver pate.
Chicken livers
Bacon
Onions
Garlic
Cream
Brandy
Mixed herbs
(I haven't given quantities, as I don't measure and go according to what looks right!
But for 1 tub of chicken livers, it's usually 250g bacon, an onion, 2 cloves garlic, cup of cream perhaps and a good dollop of brandy!)
Fry bacon until it starts releasing fat,
Add onion and add garlic towards the end as the onions are past the opaque stage.
Add livers and fry for a bit then add the cream and brandy and herbs.
Cover and let it cook slowly until the livers are cooked through.
Add more cream and brandy if you need more gravy.
Put through the whizzer until velvety smooth.
Melt some butter and pour the top to preserve.

Ms. Mofet's Spinach Pies (click for recipe)

Where would you find phyllo leaves in the grocery store? These spinach pies are something I would absolutely love to make!!

Phyllo dough is located in the Frozen pastry section.

I guess my signature dish would have to be Mexican cheesy stuffed chicken breasts served with salsa. I don't have a recipe posted anywhere, but I stuff them with pepperjack, Parmesan, oregano and parsley, roll them up, bread them, brown them in a pan, then finish them off in the oven. Yum!!

Thanks! I knew it was dough, just wasn't sure how it would be packaged.

My signature dish is the Hershey Chocolate Cake with the frosting on the back of the Hershey Cocoa can. When served at holiday time, it goes before the pies. Not a crumb left.

My second one is a standard apple pie. I pile the apples really high. Seal the top crust and thoroughly wash it with whole egg wash. I then liberally sprinkle turbinado sugar on it and then half way through baking, give it another egg wash and more sugar. It makes the crust shiny and golden. Picture perfect.

Don't know that I could pick one particular dish. Several folks I used to dive with kept telling me I should open a seafood place. Not sure whether it was the dish preparations or the fact that what I was cooking had been swimming or walking on the ocean floor earlier that day.

Folks also love the true BBQ I make.

If a person were going to hold a family reunion and asked each attendee to name the favorite signature dish that they make, everyone would have a different answer. When you are a good cook, there are lots of dishes that other folks want you to make. Marie Callender is known for her pies. But which one is her signature dish?

For my family, some want mac and cheese, others apple pie. Each person in my life has their own idea of what is my signature dish. This weekend I have been asked to make a large pan of mac and cheese. The family is getting together again in support of my daughter. But there is one person who wants that mile high apple pie. I will surprise her and make the pie also. After all, the party is for her.

Not sure it's a signature dish, but I often to to the Marcella Hazan recipe for "Tomato Sauce No.1 when I have people stop by unexpectedly, or I just don't know what to and I want to whip up something for them. It is great and everyone loves it. Very simple.
8 oz. can tomato sauce (no salt added)
15 oz. can diced tomatoes (no salt added) 2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. olive oil 1/4 tsp. cinnamon

1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup finely chopped carrot
1/3 cup finely chopped celery

Heat olive oil in a saute pan on med heat. Add chopped onions and cook until just translucent, not brown. Add carrots and celery and cook for one minute or so. Add tomatoes and sauce, the salt and the cinnamon and cook a a gentle simmer, partly covered for 30 mins. Stir from time to time.

I serve it over penne, but any pasta will do.This makes 3 generous servings, but is easily multiplied for more people.
