What dish do you love to eat but hate making

[dulcemariamar]

Because you think it is a PITA to make? 

I love a Spanish omlette (potato/egg dish) but it is a PITA to make. I aslo love croquetas but I refuse to make them because it takes forever and they get eaten so fast that it is not worth it to me. I wait until I am at my in-laws so my MIL can make it.

Hmmm, that is tough because I like to cook!!

I've never attempted it, but I think beef wellington would fit in this category. And probably pierogies (which I'm missing right now!!!!). Oh, and eggs Benedict with hollandaise sauce. I'll always order that out, because a restaurant can do it better than I could!

Otherwise, I like a challenge in the kitchen for the most part :-P

I'm trying to make eggplant meatballs and cauliflower fritters....more work than I want to do right now but DH will appreciate it.

jennybee1018 Beef Wellington is a real PITA but so good. I made it for DH one year for his birthday. Ditto on the eggs benny - love it but not going to make it myself.

When we are eating grain free I sometimes make this butternut squash lasagna that DH loves. He asks for it often but it is lot of work. You have to cut the squash into thin planks and peeling the squash alone is a lot of work. Plus my hands are orange after.

Yeah, I don't make eggs benedict either!

More generally, I don't bake or make any sort of dessert, though I do enjoy eating them

[crimsonandclover]

Yeah, I don't make desserts, either, but I do like to eat them Also, I love a good, tender, medium rare steak but can't seem to get it right at home.

We had beef Wellington at our wedding, and we also ordered it from a hotel for DH's birthday this past January! That's about it :-P

Definitely love it but I'm not making it!

Anything deep fried -- the oil is just a pain to deal with.

And I love candies, but can never get them right, even with a candy thermometer.

And I know it's crazy, but stir-fry. The quickness of the cooking just makes me nervous and I feel rushed through the process, even if I have everything done and ready to go. I stopped doing them when I figured out what it was that made me so nervous and jittery every time I did it.

Pierogi aren't too difficult to make. I think they are easier than making ravioli (the dough is not as delicate). 

I find enchiladas a pain to make. I like to do my own torillas and my own sauce and of course filling. I try to do the tortillas and sauce ahead of time and have it stored in the fridge. When I do that, it's much easier.

Homemade cinnamon rolls. So good and very worth it. But I haven't made them in two years.

Eggplant parm but luckily my husband loves making it.

I was going to say eggplant parm too! It's not hard to make but it just takes forever! 

[azure]

I hate baking, so I will say any kind of dessert.

I love making eggs benedict, it's one of the meals that gets requests when we have visitors or we are visiting my parents. I think I make it better than any I've had in a restaurant.

[Wanderista]

I don't really like handling or cooking fish at home but I will eat it when I am out.

I hate any sort of pastry crust. And, homemade raviolis. I can do it, but good lord is it time consuming.

Won Ton wrappers are a great cheat for ravioli pasta.  I use them all the time.
