Sept. 12th Dinner Review

[cjs]

I'll be a few hours late, but I hope those of you who did the dinner will start things off.

Issue #88 - page 41
Grilled Vegetable Couscous with Lemon and Goat Cheese and Lemon-Butter Chicken

Hope its good.

I'm going to be late with this one since somebody else in this house didn't want to try it.

C'mon Ron - what a spoil-sport...

OMG....we had this about a month ago....delish! My kids both ate it pretty willingly. Had leftovers cold in pita as well. Hope you enjoy as much as we did!

We certainly did, 'winkel' - we both gave it a strong 8!




The only two things I did differently is I used thighs instead of breasts and I picked up a pkg. at Trader Joes of a Harvest Grains Blend - Israeli couscous, orzo, baby garbanso beans and red quinoa - so, wanted to try it. Very good and high fiber.

The lemon butter sauce brushed over the chicken after grilling and then a little drizzled over all on the plate just made everything zing!! I'll certainly make this again.

Didn't anyone other that 'winkel' and me make it???

What I don't get is why everything has to be topped with an egg yolk. I can't stand runny eggs, much less an undercooked yolk. But everything else with the couscous, orzo, garbanzo beans, and quinoa looks good!

I'm going to be really late. I couldn't swing the veggies right now.

[Mare749]

Thanks for the review, Jean. Guess I'll have to just make it for me.

egg yolk?????????? Barbara, I think you might be looking at the yellow pear tomato on the plate - no egg yolk.
