The Secret’s Out: our editorial director, Daniel, and I are regulars of the Subreddit Serious Eats. (He jumps occasionally in the conversation; I hide.) We know the usual favorites of the crowd: chicken in halal cart, infallible stove and chicken pizza with the Chile Verde pressure cooker, to name just a few. This is why we were delighted to see a recent thread asking the community what recipes deserve more love. The answers are varied, but I noticed a pattern: you really like your meat and your starchs.
Below, we have gathered some of the most underestimated serious dishes recipes according to Reddit. You will find easy chicken dinners, a lot meat, some candies and even a sauce or two. These dishes are tested and appreciated by you, our readers. And even if I want to be able to include all the suggestions, there were 268 answers at the time of writing – too much for an overview. So consider this your invitation to cook beyond the usual successes. Your next recipe for choice could hide here.
