Charlotte LOVED it! That's really all I have to say. I'll probably make it again in a week or two and she'll completely refuse to taste it, but for now it was a definite winner. She even broke her "I don't eat leftovers" rule, and ate it again for lunch the next day. The only problem was that we wished we had more. I ignored Dorie's instruction not to prep it more than four hours ahead of time, and prepped this the night before so I could just bake it when I got home from work. It turned out perfectly. Served with rice (I love my rice cooker's timer setting), green beans, and sliced tomatoes, this was a healthy and delicious dinner. I'll definitely make this one again soon.
This was so easy and turned out delicious. I am looking forward to trying this method of cooking with other ingredients, This is really perfect over rice and I will do that next time.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Charlotte loved it... way to go future foodie. Feed her curry everyday!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Charlotte! (and Mom!) I didn't make this with curry because someone in my house isn't as mature an eater as Charlotte... However, I loved the technique and how easy it was to adapt to my husband's tastes.
ReplyDeleteJora, how wonderful that Charlotte really enjoyed this dish - love the fact that you were able to pep this the night before and then just put it in the oven after a long day at work - I shall remember that!
ReplyDeleteHugs to Charlotte and have a wonderful weekend!
All is well and good when Charlotte said so! wootwoot! This was delish and so easy on the washing up!
ReplyDeleteWell if Charlotte liked it, 'nuff said!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're exposing Charlotte to all sorts of wonderful flavors at a young age. Glad she enjoyed!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it’s wonderful that Charlotte’s eating what you eat…sounds like she has good taste, too! The method is a great way to make a no fuss dinner, without much clean up. Glad this was a winner!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Charlotte loved it!
ReplyDeleteThat's so wonderful it was a hit with Charlotte! Especially since the method is made for busy parents. I loved how healthy it was, too. Nice to cook with only enough oil to moisten everything and mix the flavours.
ReplyDeleteI love our rice cooker with timer too. Best kitchen gadget. We loved this recipe and will make again.
ReplyDeleteLOL- can't believe little Charlotte has such an amazing palate ! Fabulous. And equally fabulous you are already anticipating her changing her mind on a dime :) Even though my sons are older I can assure you that knocking out a recipe with the prep and cook time this one is still a hot commodity in my house. Now I just get to spend that extra time on my own interests. (ok and cleaning too....:)
ReplyDeleteI'll make this one again for sure simply because it was so easy. Nice to know that I can prep the pouches ahead of time because I love the idea of having these ready to pop into the oven when I get home. Kind of like homemade TV dinners;-)
ReplyDeleteI also wish I had made more, but it is so easy to do so not a problem. Little ones are so hard to please. Maybe you will get lucky a second time.
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe Charlotte is weighing in on meals already! Where does time fly?
