Last night’s dinner comes compliments of The Daring Gourmet where I tweaked her Slow Cooker Greek Chicken recipe by making it sous vide. Using her Greek Seasoning as the flavor driver, I figured making this dish sous vide would create a vibrant result. As suggested in the original recipe, I served this dish with rice, but not just any rice dish. I went fully international and paired this dish with a Caribbean rice – Puerto Rican Arroz con Gandules. Sounds crazy, huh? I had a feeling the flavors would compliment each other rather than compete, which they did! So setup the water bath and get cooking – this tasty Greek inspired chicken dish is simple to prepare and uniquely flavorful to enjoy! Save Print Sous Vide…
Tonight I made a meatloaf derived from a Mediterranean recipe for koftas. Here is the best way I can describe what koftas are: they are intensely spiced kebabs made from ground meat. I made koftas for some friends one summer on the grill and I did not feel like firing up the barbecue to grill in January just to enjoy those same deep flavors. I was, once again, looking for a flavorful winter comfort food to make and decided to combine koftas with meatloaf. The results speak for themselves… a wonderfully spiced and moist meatloaf for one. I paired this meal with Mashed Potatoes for One and buttered peas. The mushroom gravy was a last minute idea, but worked perfectly with the meatloaf. I really think this…
