Ferrous Cook

Ages ago, deep in mysterious 1990's Japan, an idea was hatched. Two competitors would be given an hour to concoct a meal centered on a single ingredient. These "Iron Chefs" were the masters of their craft, but their ways have, sadly, been lost to the mists of time.
Now, however, nearly twenty years later, the idea rises once more...
-----
So here's the plan: people each PM me an ingredient. I select three of the suggestions at random and post them here. Anyone who wants to participate then has seven days to create a meal starring those three ingredients. At the end of the week, I randomly select three more ingredients, and we begin anew.
The prize for participating? You get a full, home-cooked meal, and one that's not necessarily what you'd normally eat.
If, for whatever reason, you can't use one of the ingredients (you're allergic, you can't buy it in your area, etc), you can just PM me and I'll randomly grab you a replacement.
What to suggest? Make it any sort of ingredient you can think of. Meat? Sure. Spice? Sure. Fruit juice? Go for it. Just make sure it's something you can get most places in the world and isn't too terribly expensive. (And no, you don't have to be cooking to suggest something- feel free to add to the variety of what people use!)
Anyway, drop me a PM; once I've got a good number to start with, I'll roll up the first selection and get this thing going!
