Pasta e Fagioli from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking

An easy and delicious soup. I used lardons for the meat. We were thinking that chicken sausages would be good, saucisse de volaille or merguez de volaille, cut in quarters lenghtwise, then into little... read more >

Baked Chicken with Ethiopian Lentils

Very good, easy and tasty.
A tasty spice mix, rubbed into chicken thighs and sautéed with the veg before adding lentils to finish the cooking.
No oil added to the chicken; skin was nice and crispy. Lentil stew good too.
My seven thighs were a bit more than 2# of chicken. Three of us ate it all. Could serve four possibly. Six, only if they're very dainty eaters.
Keeper.

Easy. Not bad, but nothing to try again.
I made a half recipe with skinless thighs rather than than boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
My broccoli was still a bit crunchy when cooked longer than asked. Maybe my idea of "bite-sized" is too big.
The recipe called for 2tsp curry powder for a whole recipe; I wonder if that should have be 2tbl? I used probably 1tbl or a bit more (didn't measure after the first 2tsp, but after tasting, I dumped in the rest of the jar which was close to empty.
Edible, but not all that appealing.

Farfalle with Pumpkin-Sausage Sauce

A very tasty and satisfying pasta dinner.
I made a half recipe using Hazan's Homemade Sausage from the freezer and some canned pumpkin left from the holidays, also from the freezer. It does look a bit festive with the orange pumpkin and strips of chiffonaded sage, but it was a fine summer dinner with a salad.

I made more or less a whole recipe, which should serve 4-6, and we ate it all. You might be able to serve 4, but 6 off two skinless, boneless chicken breast halves is stretching things a bit far.

Having had lots of pasta this week, with lots more to come on the plan, I served this over over mashed potatoes, although, in retrospect, polenta would have been better.

I used all the chipotles, unseeded, and it was nice and hot.

Making a half recipe for two, over polenta would probably be fine. Tasty stuff, especially if you like it tingly.

Mediterranean Cod

Easy and delicious. I actually made this with cod, since that was on sale today. Very tasty with dill, lemon, capers, etc.
