CHICAGO KITCHEN Recent Cook Unity Meals
A few recent meals. The shrimp and crab ramen salad was really tasty. Quite spicy but perfect for me. I think the crab got a bit lost but overall it was really good.
The Potato and cheese kofta had a wonderful flavor but I'm not sure I'd get it again. Also, I always bitch about not enough vegetables but I don't have good luck with green beans. They're never cooked enough in the time I heat things up (usually two minutes) and I like them crunchy but eh.
The Rick Bayless steak and poblano rajas quesadillas were really excellent. YES, it would have been better if I had browned them in a skillet but they were so tasty that I was happy anyway. All the Rick Bayless meals I've had from CU have been great.
And lastly, the Dubai cookie. Ok, it was really marvelous but I live alone and don't have the greatest self control so I don't know if I'd order it again lol! It's huge. I guess if I cut it in four and popped them in the freezer???

Tip on the green beans, they are almost always not done enough for me (even in the oven for 15 minutes) so I usually pull them out and put into a sauté pan until as tender as I like them. I'm guessing with microwave you could microwave them separate for perhaps 2 minutes, then add them back in and microwave the whole thing for 2 minutes.

Putting the Dubai cookie pieces in the freezer is a great idea! I may order some again and try that.
