Very good and not that much more trouble that regular rice. I did add a goodly dose of Tabasco, but couldn't taste it at table.
A third recipe was good for two.

This was really delicious. I neglected to add the last bit of butter to the sauce, but no one complained. It's really fat enough without that. I used Ricard, rather than Pernod, since that was on hand.
Served with Riz au Four (p135) and Courgettes au Citron—Zucchini with Oil and Lemon (p59).

Really a hit. For a half recipe I used four thighs rather than two complete legs. Dijon mustard. Only 10min for the second baking in the oven

This takes a bit longer than what I would usually call a weeknight dinner, but it's not much work, so might do. There's plenty of time to prep a veg and some potatoes or whatever.
