wcoic day nineteen: brazil

Well, given the oops last evening - you'll be aware that this should have been Monday night's dinner.

Oops.

Couscous With Chicken



Ugly as all-get-out and severely wanting in the green department.

This was very acidic and thus, being quite possibly vinegar's biggest fan, Don adored it. Me? Not so much of a fan of the vinegar, so found it a little challenging.

Things we would do next time (for Don is mad for it - perhaps we can freeze it for lunches?):
Soften onion and garlic first; then,
Brown chicken just a smidge before chucking in the other ingredients.

If you're a vinegar fan, you may find this quite delightful.

And, thankfully, now we have a brief WCoIC break, golly I'm jonesing for a curry and/or a steak!

Sent just sent enquiring email to nerd address - understand the tiredness!

The secret to awesome cous cous is chicken stock and loads and loads of butter - otherwise can be a bit bland and spooty.
