February's Dinners - Page 4

Tonight was 'Italian noodles'--I chop a medium head of cauliflower and boil it in the same pot with a 1-lb package of pasta. Then saute a chopped onion, some garlic cloves, and 8-12 diced fresh tomatoes. Add 2 t. oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Mix in drained pasta and cauliflower. It's great with crumbled feta cheese if you have it

I added salt, pepper, and at this point decided on 1 t. of curry, 1 t. of dry mustard, 1 t. of dried oregano, and 1 T of honey. (You could leave those last four things out to make a simpler gravy, but it turned out to be a flavor everyone liked.) Then add about 3 cups of chicken stock, a little at a time until you've whisked all the lumps out. Here I added about 1/2 c. full fat coconut milk. Let it simmer and thicken a bit, then add chicken. (I added two packages of fresh chicken tenders...the gravy was almost covering the chicken.) Cover and cook until chicken is about half done, then add [15 min. Jasmine] rice (1 1/2 c.) and more stock (about 2 c?). You want to have enough stock for the rice to absorb with plenty left to keep the gravy there. Err on the side of adding too much stock. Cook until rice is done. Taste to see if you need more salt.

I've done it other ways like cooking the chicken or rice separately and pouring the gravy over the top of it all. You can't really mess it up...in the end you'll have some combination of chicken, rice, and gravy.

Comfort food to me.

How many pounds of chicken? 2 or 3?

And here it is! Served with a spinach salad (this is my dh's serving -- he obviously likes cheese

)

Pictures,

(Which hosting site are you having luck with?)

Dovenoir, I'm not sure. Would each package of tenders be about a pound? That would make it closer to two pounds.

I've had a week's vacation from making dinner while I visited my grandma in her retirement community. She treated us to dinner in their nice dining room each night. A break is very refreshing, as I'm sure you all can imagine. I'm about ready to get home and roast lots of veggies.

2sunshines · 02-27-2017, 10:05 AM

I know! I'm so excited to post pictures again!!!!

I tried all the others recommended and could not for the life of me get the hang of them! Maybe that's a part of turning 40.

This is back to photobucket. I have no clue. It works randomly and doesn't work even more often.

I try when I remember. And share on the times it decides to function.

Grilled Chicken Kebab Bowls - I will probably change this up a little bit and use chicken broth for the rice rather rather than the water and consumme powder listed in the recipe and I think I will turn it into yellow rice adding some tumeric and saffron. I will add pita triangles to the side for those who can have it and I may top the bowls with a little feta cheese.
