Dishes that are better the next day?

[foodgeek]

I made a butternut squash dish a couple of days ago and ate some warm just after cooking. It was alright, but nothing special. One of the few times I've regretted not using butter cuz a pat probably would have helped. The next day I took some out of the fridge and heated it up, and it was delicious.

What dishes do you think improve by sitting in the fridge a day?

I make a beet dish with garlic and vinegar that improves the longer you leave it, but thats basically a pickling recipe.

Hmmm. Sounds like I've dusted off my Fall (greenmarket produce) recipes. :)

I'd say almost any wet meat dish, and quite a few thick soups, weather meaty or not.

Homemade roasted salsa.

Pesto.

Pretty much any "one pot wonder" - soups, cassoulets, chili, tomato sauce, stir fries, etc.

My mom used to say this "lets the flavors marry".

Hmm. Our topics are getting a bit repetitive the last few days.

Osso Buco and Oxtail Soup - I never serve them the same day I cook them.

Also braised short ribs and braised lamb shanks are better on standing.

Curry and banana bread

There is a certain book by a Lesley C. that has a great Banana Bread recipe that I will try very soon.

Adobo lechon. (I'm not partial to adobo rellenong, but that counts too.)

Sinigang.

Dinuguan.

Anything with vinegar and garlic.

Meatloaf.

Leftover roast chicken.

NOT hamburgers.

SobaAddict70,

I prefer the roast chicken freshly made.

I agree about burgers not improving next day. LOL

What is Sinigang and Dinuguan?
