Recipes I've Made

New Orleans–Style Red Beans and Rice

It's fine, not great. Probably because I didn't include the ham hock and used dried thyme instead of fresh? I let this cook for hours, until the color and texture was the same as the picture, so it's not a 'didn't cook long enough' issue.

Very acidic, which is kind of my fault, since I used the juice and zest of four lemons (could'e done with two, even though I had doubled the recipe). The sauce and couscous are the best part, since the creamy + savory texture balances the acid. My family liked the salad, but it's hard to mess up cucumbers, tomatoes, lemon and dill. I used regular cucumbers rather than Persian, which would probably be better and less liquidy. A sweet element would've been good. I slightly overcooked the thighs--350F for at least 30 minutes. It wasn't too bad, since some parts were perfect and others a little dry. I'd give it either more time at a lower heat or check it every 15 minutes with a thermometer. While I know, intellectually, what the hummus is for, there's so much going on that I didn't want to add it as part of the main dish. I put it to the side with crackers. That was good, since it added another savory/nutty element.
