What is a really easy but impressive one pot dish to make, either in the oven or on the stove/hob....?

-I am cooking for friends who are all more experienced cooks than me and in previous weeks have made some really yummy dishes, lasange, sausage casserole and meatball and chorizo pasta...i have found when i cook i get flustered trying to look after a few things at once so can you give me any ideas for an impressive one pot dish??How can you go wrong with Beouf Bourguignon? It will impress and it doesn't have to be fussy. Just do it in a more provincial style, like most French people do in their homes. Basically, everything into a pot and simmer, simmer, simmer. Very easy. And delicious!





Beouf Bourguignon



1 陆 lb. Beef Stew Meat, cut into 陆鈥?pieces

3-4 T. bacon grease or vegetable oil

1 med-large Onion, course chopped

2 carrots, peeled and sliced

1 clove garlic, minced

1 T. tomato paste

3 cups good, dry red wine (Beaujolais or a Burgundy)

陆 t. thyme

陆 t. herbes d鈥橮rovence (Italian seasoning)

1/3 c. parsley

1 Bay leaf

陆 lb. button mushrooms, sauted in butter separately; or 2 jars of mushrooms, drained

Salt & pepper to taste



Season meat and coat in flour. Saute in a Dutch oven in fat/oil a few at a time until browned. Set aside. Saute vegetables (except mushrooms) in fat until they sweat. Return meat to vegetables. Add wine and seasonings. Cover and simmer about 2 hours. Add mushrooms, check salt and pepper, and simmer one more hour with the lid ajar. Sauce should thicken slightly, but you can add a small slurry of flour in water to thicken it further if necessary toward the end.



Serve over cooked, buttered egg noodles.

About 6 servings.



Add a salad, some crusty French bread, and a bottle of the same wine that's in the dish. Voila!
This is a family recipe of mine but its dessert.

-You need 2 boxes of pistachio pudding (the mix)

-2 containers of whipcream

-pineapples (your choice of fruit)

And all you gotta do is mix that together until everything is a light green color and make sure the pistachio mix isn't clumpy then whan that's all done you have ambrosia

It won't look to appetizing but its really good :) I hope this helped budd
My favorite one dish meal is tamale pie. A family member of mine is not a best cook but when she makes this, we all really enjoy it. This is not her exact recipe, she adds crumbled tamales in hers and cooked egg noodles instead of the cornbread and chips. Good luck!
