The One-Pot-Meal

February 12, 2009 by evelyn

When I cook with my friends here in Madison, we more often than not choose a one-pot-meal. It might be a modern casserole, a layered dish, or a big batch of stew or soup that can easily be served for dinner, without a whole lot of other cooking going on. Perhaps a crusty bread or salad is added, but when we go home from cooking together, we’re done, free to work on homework with the kids, then have a glass of wine with our husbands.

To me, it’s the ultimate dinner– one dish with veggies, meat, and a delicious sauce or spices. The one-pot phenomena is loved by those who swear by their crockpots, their pressure cookers, their huge dutch ovens. It can easily be frozen if not used immediately. For generations people have been cooking this way, for convenience, variety, and to serve a wonderful meal. The French love their Cassoulet; the Spanish their Paella, the Italian their Cacciatore. We’d love to hear your favorites!

    ¡Hola! In Argentina we have a traditional meal called Locro. It is made with white dried corn, white beans, beef, sweet potatoes, and squash. It is very tasty, and especially great for cold weather since it is soupy and filling. And the best part is that you can freeze it for another day. The worst part is that I am trying to find a substitute for the corn because I can’t find it in the US… I should try hominy perhaps…

    Hey Shannon-

    I am always looking for suggestions as well on one-pot and crock pot meals. It seems to be hard to find tasty things you want to make again and again (aside from Chili). Our fav crock pot meal is North Carolina Pulled Pork (this is taken from the ULtimate Grilling cookbook). You can serve it with cornbread or rolls the first day and make a spicy pork taco the next day.

About Alison J. Bermack

It all began when I was a child cooking with my dad, the kitchen a magnet for cooking and camaraderie, a refuge from adolescence. I spent countless hours chopping, sautéing and simmering my way through childhood. And now, with three kids of my own, I’m still chopping, but this time through their childhood and often with friends.
