Chicken Smothered in Gravy

Why is there something so appealing about the word Smothered in the title of a recipe? In this recipe, I used chicken parts, ie - breasts, legs, etc. I think the next time I make this, after sautéing the chicken, I will put it all in a crockpot.

Curried Lentils With Sweet Potatoes, Mushrooms & Kale

I was watching some program on the Food Network Channel, it may have been Diners, Drive-ins & Dives. They were at a restaurant called Tin Shed in Portland Oregon. This was the most popular dish on the menu. I quickly wrote down the ingredients and method and ran to the store. It was so good, I will make this again and again. I bought pre-cooked lentils (at Trader Joe's) a jar of curry sauce and even frozen jasmine rice. It was easy and fast. You could take it to another level and put a piece of salmon on top.

Chickpea, Red Pepper, & Spinach Salad with Harissa

This is a wonderful Moroccan salad with a great depth of flavor. Harissa is what my husband calls the ketchup of north Africa. Harissa is a Tunisian hot chili pepper paste made with roasted red peppers, serrano peppers and other hot chili peppers and spices and herbs such as garlic paste, coriander seed, or caraway as well as some vegetable or olive oil for preservation. It is also popular in Moroccan cuisine.
