Past and Future Food
Feb. 15th, 2014 02:54 pmI have to say I was a little disappointed by the Savory Slow-Cooked Grains. It was certainly edible, and from time to time tasty, but, in comparison with the two dishes that preceded it, it seemed rather bland.
Tomorrow, I'm going to try my hand at jambalaya. The Betty Crocker recipe calls for 7-8 hours at Low setting - which is too long, under the circumstances - or 3-4 hours at High, in either case followed by one more hour after some ingredients are added. (I'm assuming that the final hour is to be at Low setting, which seems to be the default.) I'll have to fix a bunch of rice on the stove top toward the end. I'll probably dump the rice and then the jambalaya into my big cooking pot once they're all cooked. (I use that pot for refrigerator storage, during the week or so that dishes usually last; the slow-cooker instructions specifically say not to use the cooker's ceramic insert for that purpose.)
We'll see how this one comes out.
