Suggestions for the next Cookalong

[Morning Glory]

The Boeuf Bourguignon Cookalong has been very interesting with success and disaster along the way! A big thanks to alexander,The Late Night Gourmet, Francesca, ElizabethB, epicuric and Yorky who all participated! I think this was the most participants so far (7 including myself).

We now need to decide on a new recipe/dish to cook along to.

So far we have chosen dishes from: France (Coq au Vin and Boeuf/Mushroom Bourguignon), Spain (Paella), Italy (Ravioli), Middle East (Falafel), Russia/USA (Chicken Kiev). Below are some of the suggestions that have been made before. (V) indicates vegetarian/vegan options.

The concept of the Cookalong is to try out 'classic’ or regional recipes that we haven't cooked before and/or practice techniques that are new to us. Suggestions need to be specific not generic - not ‘wraps’ or ‘stews’ for example. Here are some previous suggestions plus a few I've added which have been mentioned in various posts here:

Rogan Josh
Crab Cakes
Croissants (V)
Chinese Dumplings (V)
Bagels (V)
Chicken Cordon Bleu (@Slumgullioneer is our resident expert)
Beef or Mushroom Stroganoff (V)
Jambalaya (could be V)
Game Pie (well, it is the game season in the Northern hemisphere)
Stifado (we haven't had a Greek dish yet)
Spanakopita (V) (as above)
Braided bread (V)
Fesenjan (Persian Chicken dish - can be made V)

Please feel free to give your preferences to one of the above or add your own suggestions.

Jambalaya
Chicken Cordon Bleu
Stroganoff
Game Pie - never made it but willing to give it a try

I love beets and Borsch comes to mind. Never made it but would love to try.

The Chicken Kiev Cookalong has been very interesting with success and disaster along the way! A big thanks to alexander,The Late Night Gourmet, Francesca, ElizabethB, epicuric and Yorky who all participated! I think this was the most participants so far (7 including myself).

I thought it was Bourguingnon.

I thought it was Bourguingnon.

There is a variant spelling but not that:

As soon as I read @LadyBelle's post, I knew I was going to give a try at Welsh Cakes. This is something I think most people outside of Britain haven't heard of, and maybe even those in the British Isles haven't tried making. I'm making them anyway, but that's my suggestion.

Borsch - I haven't made it either. For some reason I don't think of it as very interesting but that might just be me.

There is a variant spelling but not that:

She meant that you said Chicken Kiev above, which was from the summer...

 

[The Late Night Gourmet]

Oh...here's something else that I'm going to make regardless: Goulash!

I was watching Gotham last night, and goulash was served. I've never made it before so, as I often do, I thought, "I have to make that!"

Oops - sorry @ElizabethB! I've corrected it - it was because I copied some text over from a previous posting.

A good suggestion but perhaps too similar to Bourguignon?

Rogan Josh

I have to admit, when I saw this, I immediately thought it might be the brother of this guy (Seth Rogen):

 

[ElizabethB]

I am partial to Jambalaya - a regional specialty.

Welsh cakes. Not made those for years. Game pie or Goulash sound good.

Welsh cakes. Not made those for years. Ga

Have you got Welsh connections @Herbie?

So far Welsh Cakes, Goulash and Game Pie have most votes... just saying.
