Okay, late getting this up. But better late than never--
Review of Indian Spiced Lentils with Chicken
First off, followed the directions, but again with high heat rather than low.
Our came out more stew like than plate ready like it was said to come out.
The spices seemed--off. It wasn't bad, but it was like something small was wrong. Oh well.
It was good enough to eat, but not good enough to do again. Which is fairly sad.
I was also going to do the asian peanut butter pork recipe this week.
Lesson learned: check that you have the ingredients on hand before starting.
I sliced the onion, put in the pork. Then went to grab the brown sugar and soy sauce. Brown sugar? Yes. Soy Sauce? No. Apparently we used it all the last time we made fried rice. Whoops. So I turned to my Orange-ginger glaze. Ingredients: sugar (yay!), vinegar (yup that's also on the list), soy sauce (wohoo!), ginger (well I can use that instead of the garlic it calls for) and so on and so forth. So I poured the glaze over the pork and called that good for most of the rest of the ingredients.
I wondered if I should add the peanut butter. Would that taste weird? While wondering I went about looking for it. I know I have 1 and possibly 2 open containers of peanut butter. But I couldn't find either. So we did without.
Not sure how it turned out. I felt very sick, and got no more than one bite. I'll have to ask John, but it wasn't that recipe, so this is not a real review of it. Also that is why I'm not including the link. Seems wrong to change the recipe completely and then call it a review.
