What is your favorite three ingredient recipe?
I do all the cooking around here, and while I enjoy the challenge making a full meal from scratch, there are a couple recipes that are easy and quick. Of course, these foods aren’t meals, but more like snacks or treats. My latest one is Pistachio Butter. Pistachios, olive oil and sugar to taste.
Do you have a favorite three-fer recipe? What is it? Where or how did you learn to make it?

chickpeas, canned chicken and basmati rice
mushrooms, onions and fried potatoes.
Ramen, pesto, mozzarella.
Mushrooms, onions, and eggs (low carb version of above from @ragingloli :))
An eggs, goat cheese and rosemary omelet. (It’s something I can actually make.)
Grilled cheese – bread, butter, cheese.
… or my egg sandwich which some people (ahem-Sarcasm, johnpowell, petethepothead, and maybe gggritso-ahem) think is gross. It’s bread, mayo, and an egg beat and cooked like an omlette egg. Then you just put mayo on the bread then sandwich the egg in there and you have an egg sandwich.
Key lime pie, 4 egg yolks, 14 oz condensed milk, and ½ cup lime juice, in a grahm cracker crust, I guess that’s 4 ingredients. 350 for 15 minutes

delicious.
Kielbasy, sauerkraut and egg noodles.
fettucine, cream, and garlic (Fettucine Almost Alfredo)
canned tuna, mayonnaise, chopped celery (Tuna Salad)
Velveeta, red salsa, Tabasco (Chile con Queso – melt and keep warm in a crock pot)
Chuck roast, water, salt (Barbacoa – cook in crock pot overnight)
Ripe Avocado, canned chicken broth, plain yogurt (Avocado Soup – put everything in a blender until smooth)
Chicken breasts, canned mushrooms, canned condensed cream of celery soup (Dead Chicken in the Oven No. 42 – put chicken in baking pan, pour mushrooms over, pour soup over, bake until chicken is no longer pink, about 30 minutes at 350)
Ground beef, chopped onions, ketchup (sloppy joe filling – serve on toasted bun or over rice)
There are many more that I do on a regular basis.

For anyone interested, there is a woman who has written several books chock full of quality recipes with only three ingredients. I’ve seen her demo various ones on different cooking shows and was really impressed with her techniques, food knowledge, and approach to simplicity with quality ingredients.

1 cup peanut butter + 1 cup sugar + 1 egg = super fast and very yummy peanut butter cookies! Just mix it all up, drop onto a cookie sheet, flatten with a fork, and back at 350 for about ten minutes. Easiest homemade cookies ever. I’ve changed the original recipe a bit to use half white sugar and half brown, and I also add a tsp of vanilla. You can even make these cookies with natural peanut butter!
1) Gin, martini & olive
2) Pancake, syrup and bacon (Is pancake and ingredient? Probably not, but I still like it.)
3) Bread, dijon mustard & camembert (Is bread an ingredient?)
4) Toast, marmalade and sliced cheese (Yes, on top of each other!)
Pita bread, fresh spinach leaves and cheese (any kind-have fun experimenting!) broiled in the toaster oven. I love grated sharp cheddar or feta. It’s good with or without salsa.
Warm brie, crackers or bread, and wine.
Hot tea and rich tea biscuits (sugar is the third ingredient—I sweeten tea)
Fried egg and toast (butter is the third ingredient)
Fried potatoes (potatoes, butter, onion)
Pancakes! (flour, milk, eggs)
Peanut butter cookies (sugar, peanut butter, egg)
Toast, chevre, arugula pesto.
Artichoke spread: 1 can artichoke hearts, 1 cup parmesan cheese. Whirl ‘em up in the food processor and spread them on pumpernickel bread. Yum!
@Allie I love egg sandwiches! I saute onions too and put them in with the eggs, so I guess that’s four ingredients – but so tasty!
Spread a slice of bread with honey, top with slice of cheese. Grill until blisters appear.
Do the same as above but with favourite jam.
Fry cut up Italian sausages in pan until fragrant. Add bottled spag sauce. Eat with pasta of choice.
Mash up 12 hard boiled eggs. Mixed with ½ kg peeled shrimp that has been cut into thumb size and enough japanese mayo to taste. Add chopped spring onions if wish. Season to taste.
Brandied Cherries: 300gms of halved pitted fresh sweet cherries (keep juices). 80 ml brandy. ¼ cup sugar. Reserve 1 tbs of the brandy. Boil sugar and brandy until you get ¼ cup. Add cherries and juice. Reduce heat. Cook until cherries softens just a little (about 1 min). Add reserved brandy and remove from heat. Serve with vanilla ice cream. Enough for 2 servings.
Grilled Butternut squash: cut squash into half or quarters (depends on size). Dot with butter and sprinkle brown sugar or maple syrup. Bake at 200F for about 30 mins or until blisters appear.
I’ll stop listing for now…
Cream of mushroom soup, french onion soup, chicken.
Season chicken with a decent amount of garlic salt and black pepper, get a nice crust on both sides in a skillet. Mix the two soups together and pour over the chicken. Simmer until chicken is cooked through. The soups melt together to make a delicious gravy. Serve with Stove Top, mashed potatoes, or noodles.
Cachaça, sugar and lemon.
Bacon, onions, and green beans. (Chop bacon and onions, cut beans to about inch length, fry bacon, fry onions in the resulting fat, mix everything, toss until beans are hot.)
My dad’s favorite: a peeled banana, mayonnaise, and white cheddar cheese, with mayo spread on the banana and thin slices of cheese stuck in the mayo.
My brother’s favorite: poached egg, toast, and hot sauce, eaten as a sandwich.
@Darwin: I can’t say much because my dad ADORES peanut butter, jelly, and ham sandwiches… but that banana thing sounds terrible. LOL
@poofandmook – My mother’s favorite sandwich is chunky peanut butter, mayonnaise, and crips ice berg lettuce. If she has them she likes to add in fried oysters.
@Darwin your family sounds very creative. Have you tried any of their unique snacks?
@Capt_Bloth Actually I do like the peanut butter and mayo sandwich, but I don’t like it with oysters. I do not like the banana/mayo/cheese concoction, and I add cheese to my brother’s egg sandwich. I also don’t like my dad’s other favorite, CheezWhiz and cherry jam on rye toast.
Our family all loves to cook (except for my sister, who eats mostly gray and soggy vegetables) and we love to invent new recipes.
Cream corn, refried beans and hot sauce.
For real, I had this once while traveling, and it was shockingly good. It was all we had left at the moment, and we were trying g to see if we could make something out of it. It sure looked horrible!!!
Double Old fashion Glass (Tumbler)
Ice
Favorite Scotch (Deluxe) (Single malt) (Blend)
That’s three…
Wild rice, good smoked ham, not too sweet or salty with green beans. I don’t have it regularly, but I am thinking about it.
Hot cider, whiskey, cinnamon.
Oh Oh Pick me Pick me: WINE WOMAN AND SONG
@Zen: I feel like I should be included in that recipe for disaster. A thread about sex? You know I’d be there!
Rice. Fruit cocktail. Cool whip.
