Deceptively simple – What are your &quot;luxury&quot; recipes or foods that are surprisingly easy to make at home? Every Christmas, I cure a batch of Gravlax <a rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" href="https://www.recipetineats.com/cured-salmon-gravlax/" target="_blank">https://www.recipetineats.com/cured-salmon-gravlax/</a> for my family, which I serve on dark rye squares with some sort of dill/mustard sauce. The entire affair, from curing to serving, takes less than 30 minutes of actual effort on my end and is only as expensive as some salmon, salt, sugar, and dill. Still, my family and others whom I&#039;ve served this dish perceive it to be a rare treat, both fancy and luxurious. I&#039;d love to expand my repertoire of highly impressive, low-input dishes or ingredients. I&#039;m not talking about your prized chili recipe or your 16-hour smoked brisket here (although you can DM me those if you want), but instead something that looks out of the ordinary, fancy, and makes your guests say &quot;wow, are you some kinda chef or something?&quot; The less effort it takes on your end, the better.
