What's your best recipe that has 5 or less ingredients?

Not including things like oil, salt and pepper.

Pasta! I just will have the pasta, and for the tomato sauce there is tomatoes, fresh basil, some chopped onions and a tiny bit of pepper. No more than 5 ingredients!

its a golden rule with chefs when food gets what we call to busy,i.e. to many ingredients,just revert back to basics and have fewer ingredients and let the quality of each speak for them selves so 5 ingredients would be a good bench mark for this
so a dish at the moment is guinea fowel cooked two ways,using the bones for stock for the jus and slow confit the legs ,a garlic and rosemary puree, spring greens and fondant potatoes cooked in the stock ,strong flavours balanced plate using the most of the ingredients

I think I'd have to say dried beans.

Pea and rice with oregano.

Fry the onions in a little oil or butter, sauté the rice (white basmati is best) for a few minutes. Add enough stock to cover and cook for 5 minutes. As the peas (fresh from the garden is best otherwise use frozen). Cook until stock absorbed and rice cooked. Top up stock if needed. As the chopped oregano and mix in. Allow the stand for a few minutes. Season and if wanted serve with a little suitable cheese to sprinkle over.

If herbs don't count, then it's 3 ingredients for thirds of us who are dairy free and don't have cheese!
