What’s your “signature” dish - the one people always ask you to make?

[UltraUltras]

Do you have that one dish you’re known for among friends or family?
Like, the one people always expect you to bring to a potluck, or the one your kids ask for on their birthdays?

I realized recently that mine is chicken tikka masala , it started as a random recipe I tried during lockdown, but now it’s the #1 request every time we have guests over. Creamy, spicy, and totally comfort food. I serve it with garlic naan and basmati rice, and it always disappears fast.

I will occasionally make a "Granny's Apricot Nectar Cake". It's always a big hit, got it from my Grandpa

^^I'd love Grannie's Apricot Nectar Cake recipe.

I make a Scalloped Potatoes (using 3 cheeses) which is always brought up during big meal planning.
Dear Mom and Elder Sis honed the recipe.
Besides being real good, it does involve quite a lot of work; so a fairly substantial contribution.

Worked in a NY pizzeria for 6 years in high school and part of college - I make a mean linguini with clam sauce, chicken marsala or francese, and any pasta alla vodka.

People like my pizza. I make the dough from scratch.

I’m known for making an awesome prime rib

I’ve never been to a potluck and don’t have people visit my apartment on a regular basis.
I guess my wife often requests beef ribs that I cook in the slow cooker and then finish in the griller.

I call it the "brisket bomb".

- Brisket point
- Baking potatoes
- Sharp cheddar
- Candied jalapenos
- Yellow onions

I season a brisket point well with my own seasoning mix. (see below) It then goes in the crockpot along with 2 yellow onions cut into slices and some apple cider vinegar, butter (whole stick), Worcestershire sauce, a little beef broth, minced garlic, and a splash of soy sauce. Let it cook low and slow for 10-12 hours.

About an hour before the brisket is done, I coat some large russet potatoes in olive oil and season with celtic salt and black pepper. They go in the oven at 450°F for an hour or so.

When the brisket is done, I shred it in the crockpot with the juice and onions. I take a baked potato, split it open, put some garlic and herb butter (Kerrygold) in there, drop a good helping of shredded brisket and onion in/on it, top with shredded cheese and candied jalapenos. Spoon some more of the juice over it and dig in.

Seasoning mix
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion Powder
- Paprika
- Chili powder
- Lemon zest
- Brown sugar
