CHICKEN CURRY WITH CHICKPEAS AND TOMATOES (Robin Miller Quick Fix Meals)

THIS RECIPE IS MEANT TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THREE OTHER MEALS (please see ROASTED CHICKEN WITH SMOKEY APRICOT SAUCE in the "Entrees" section). SERVES 6A real curry dish would ideally cook all day long. Since I rarely (if ever) have that luxury, I found a Quick Fix solution that delivers the same flavors. The leftover chicken is jazzed up with chickpeas and a creamy curry-cilantro sauce. I like to serve this over rice or couscous with steamed asparagus or zucchini … [Read more...]

SERVES 4 Prep Day: PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES To Finish the Meal:WALK-AWAY TIME: 30-35 MINUTES RESTING TIME: 10 MINUTES One day I decided to jazz up plain pork tenderloin.

BOW TIES WITH WARM BLUE CHEESE SAUCE (from Robin Miller Quick-Fix Meals)

June 23, 2010 Danette Leave a Comment

SERVES 4 We love blue cheese-on everything. We love pasta, too. This blue cheese sauce that's served over fun-shaped bow-tie pasta (also called farfalle) is great. The bright green peas add color and nutrients. The sweet peas pair beautifully with the pungent blue cheese. Feel free to substitute any pasta shape, but I recommend using one with nooks and crannies to give the heavenly sauce a place to hang out. 12 ounces bowtie (farfalle) pasta 2 teaspoons olive oil1/4 cup chopped shallots 1 … [Read more...]
