Germany has brands of bottled curry sauce that are great on white rice.
I've never seen them in the US... but mayonnaise and curry powder is close enough.
Ranch noodles, though, I've served to guests all the time. It is exactly what it sounds like. You squirt ranch dressing all over fresh elbow / corkscrew pasta, and ideally cool overnight. It's two-ingredient pasta salad. Ranch is buttermilk, garlic, dill, and a bunch of other spices. Great as a side. Add pepper.
I made a face reading that until you said "ideally cool overnight" and it immediately sounded like I want to try it as a pasta salad.
Mustard bread. I'm dead serious.
Edit to clarify: just a slice of bread with a heap of mustard rushedly spread on it. I either go for honey mustard if I'm looking for a bit of pep, or whole grain Dijon for savouring.
I used to do this as a kid, and would add cheese to make it a "sandwich".
Hate me if you will, but any source of protein on a slice of bread is a sammich to me!
Also, most definitely works, especially with some of the smoked cheeses which are common in our area!
My invented dish I call "Scrumpy". You take fries or fried potatoes, equal amount lettuce broken up like for a salad, chicken, then top it with chicken or beef gravy and chopped green onions. To really take up the indulgence level you can add ~~southern~~ hot sauce like Frank's, and some Cajun seasoning.
It started because of my great love of poutine, and wondering how I could make it into a healthier full meal. I've done a million variations on it, too. Stir fried cabbage and onion instead of lettuce. Corned beef instead of chicken. Adding a fried egg on top... Very flexible weeknight meal.
I would absolutely serve this to someone if it ever came up, but it never has.
Fresh tomato and dry roasted peanuts.
Actually I might try it on someone ...
I'm trying to envision this. Is the tomato sliced or diced? Are the peanuts whole or crushed? Is this a spoon dish or do you use your hands?
When I'm really lazy I make spaghetti with butter and bread crumbs.
Add garlic (powder), parmesan and chili flakes.
Now you're talking
Refried beans, rice, sirachcha, and too much mayo. Sometimes I eat it with bread like a sad sack sandwich.
Take a sweet bun that has a curd filling, cut it in half like a burger bun. Spread cream cheese on both sides. Add ham, cucumber, salad leaf. Serve with tarkhuna. This recipe might doxx me to my friends, because I always say to try it but nobody ever does.
Peanut butter & white onion sandwich on white bread. Lazy meal.
And at night you can visit the monster world under your bed to play with Maurice and Boy.
Dude I thought I was the only one who remembers little monsters
